SAFETY WARNINGS FOR OPEN-ROLLER GATES AND
ORNAMENTAL GRILLE-TYPE GATES
INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH AUTOMATIC GATES CAN OCCUR WITH OPEN-ROLLER
GATES AND ORNAMENTAL "GRILLE TYPE" GATES
OPEN-ROLLER GATES
Injuries occur when people get their hands caught between the top of the gate and the roller. This potential pinch
point should be guarded whenever an automatic operator is installed. Enclosed tracks are available from various fence
suppliers for refitting of these rollers.
ORNAMENTAL "GRILLE TYPE" GATES.
Injuries occur when people put their arms through openings in the grilles and the gate is operated. The person cannot
retract his/her arm and it gets caught between the grille and the fence post or fence. The potential hazard must be
guarded. It can be simply done by placing a screen mesh on the gate and fence in the area of the gate. The screen
must be a minimum of 4 feet high from the bottom (unless the gate and fence are shorter) with openings that a 2-1/4
inch sphere cannot fit through (See Illustration Below). This will help to prevent access through openings when the
gate travels.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
▲ WARNING: DO NOT APPLY POWER UNTIL TOLD TO DO SO! RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK OR INJURY MAY RESULT.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE INSTALLING OPERATOR:
Gate must slide freely to fully opened and fully closed position. Gate and/or extension must extend beyond the
operator location as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, and fig. 3 (next page). Operator will be placed as shown, in fig. 1 page 7,
for left and right hand installation.
