• Do not install the operator in such a way that the arm moves within 16 inches of a rigid object or 10 feet
from high voltage power wires with arm in the raised position.
• Speed limit through barrier area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps, warning signs and hazard stripes where
visible in the area of the barrier gate, failure to do so may result in injury, damage to operator and vehicle.
• Users should be familiar with proper use of operator, these include; hardware operation, reversing functions
and testing, reversing loops, inherent reversing system, electric edges, photoelectric cells related external
devices and possible hazards.
• Keep adults, children and objects away from operator and HAZARD ZONES.
•

barrier gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under or around the barrier gate to operate the
controls.
Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g., fire, police, EMS) may be placed at
any location in the line-of-sight of the barrier gate.
• When manually operating the gate operator arm, the user MUST make sure that the gate area is clear BEFORE
