1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are
relying on your design to provide a safe installation.
2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction sensing entrapment protection
system. The installation must also have a secondary entrapment protection system
installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric edge system.
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare,
be sure the system is placed far enough away from the road to eliminate trac
backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage levels, and gate cycle/speed
must be considered to eliminate potential trac hazards.
4. The majority of injuries from slide gate operator systems occur with Open Roller
or Ornamental Grille Type Gates. We strongly recommend the use of roller guards.
The illustrations and descriptive captions found on the following pages provide
precautions to help eliminate injuries or fatalities. Familiarize yourself with them
when designing the total system.
5. Design the gate system so a person cannot reach over, under, around, or through the
gate to operate any controls. Never place controls on the gate operator itself.
