FOR SLIDE GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS
SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users.
However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is
important that all gate operator system designers, installers, and end
users be aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly
designed, installed, or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate
operator is a component part of a total gate operating system.
The following information contains various safety precautions and
warnings for the system designer, installer and end user. These
instructions provide an overview of the importance of safe design,
installation, and use.
Warnings are identified with the ▲ symbol. This symbol will identify
some of the conditions that can result in serious injury or death. Take
time to carefully read and follow these precautions and other important
information provided to help ensure safe system design, installation and
use.
▲ WARNING: Gate operators are only one part of a TOTAL
GATE OPERATING SYSTEM. It is the responsibility of purchaser,
designer, and installer to ensure that the total system is safe for its
intended use. All secondary entrapment safety devices must be
RECOGNIZED by U/L to ensure the safety of the complete operating
system.
