To reduce the risk of INJURY or DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact
with a rigid object or reverse when an object activates the non-
contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel,
retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.
• Use the emergency release ONLY when the gate is not moving.
• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate
entrance.
