Safety - Owner/User Responsibility
As the owner/user, you are responsible for the correct and safe installation, operation and maintenance of the
SlideDriver gate operator. It is of the utmost importance that you read and follow the specic instructions and
precautions found in the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION addressed in this manual. In addition, you must
adhere to the safety standards of applicable federal, state, and local safety regulations, industry standards, and/
or procedures.
NOTICE: For installations outside the United States, make sure that you follow the applicable international,

• Automatic gates are for vehicular use only; provide and maintain walkways and signs to direct pedestrians
to a separate walk-through entrance.
• An automatic gate can start at any time without warning; always keep people away from the gate area.
• Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio
transmitters, away from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the gate, gate area, or
gate operators.
• Learn how to turn the power on and off. Learn how to manually operate the gate.
• WARNING signs supplied with the gate operator must remain installed and clearly visible on both sides
of the gate. The signs are required to maintain UL 325 compliance.
• Do not physically disable the warning buzzer and NEVER disconnect or cut its wires. The buzzer provides
compliance with the Manual on Uniform Trafc Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. Disabling the
warning buzzer may increase the risk of death or serious injury.
• Do not remove entrapment devices or any other safety features.
• Have a professional gate installer routinely inspect the gate hardware and test the entrapment protection
sensors and overall gate operation. Have a qualied service person make repairs to gate hardware and
equipment to keep the gate running smoothly.
Hazardous materIals and proper dIsposal
Be aware of the international, federal, and local codes in your area and how best to handle hazardous waste
materials.
The pump pack uid, found in all hydraulic HySecurity operators, can be recycled. Gear oil, found in HySecurity
electromechanical gate operators, can also be recycled. If the uids are mixed or contaminated with any solvents
or other chemicals, they become hazardous waste. Hazardous waste requirements for storage and disposal must
be followed.
If the gate operator has a battery backup system, the batteries contain materials that are considered hazardous
to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law. In the U.S.A., refer to federal EPA
guidelines for proper hazardous waste disposal.
