IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For The Consumer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual

could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

2. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed

far enough from the road to prevent trafﬁc congestion.

3. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when

opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas.

4. The gate and gate operator installation must comply with any applicable local codes.

I. Before Installation

1. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use, and the proper class rating.

2. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or

damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance

the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system.

3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the

operator for manual gate operation (page iii).

4. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for

pedestrian use (page vi).

5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH

OF A MOVING GATE.

6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.

Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation:

Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and post.

Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post.

Zone 3 – the path of the gate.

Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, etc.

Zone 5 – pinch points between the operator and gate.
