IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
RESTRICTIONS & WARNINGS:
Install the gate operator only if:
1. The gate operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the application. Make sure the gate is within
the weight and length limitations specified for the operator.
2. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2m) above the
ground to prevent a 2 1/4 inch (57.15mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that
portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.
3. ALL EXPOSED PINCH POINTS ARE ELIMINATED OR GUARDED AND GUARDING IS SUPPLIED FOR EXPOSED ROLLERS.
4. The operator is intended for installation only on slide gates used to control vehicles. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate
access opening.
5. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structures when
opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Gates should not open into public access areas.
6. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. DO NOT
REDUCE REVERSING SENSITIVITY TO COMPENSATE FOR A DAMAGED GATE.
7. Gate operator controls must be placed far enough from the gate to prevent the user from coming in contact with the gate while
operating the controls. All activating devices must be installed in a clear line-of-sight with the gate and its travel. Activating devices
must be installed a minimum of 10 feet away from the gate. Be sure to mount ALL operating devices clearly out of reach of through
gate. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after two sequential activations of the entrapment protection device must be
located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized
use.
8. Warning signs must be permanently installed on both sides of the gate and must be fully visible to traffic and pedestrians.
9. Install the gate system and gate in accordance with ASTM F220-02: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate
Construction. For a copy of this standard, contact ASTM at (610) 832-9585, service@astm.org, or www.astm.org. Install the gate
