Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200 
standards (refer to page 4). Gate must fit specifications of operator 
(refer to specifications).

Gate MUST be level. Gate and gate 
post MUST be plumb. Gate MUST 
have smooth bottom edge, no 
protrusions should exist.

Remove ANY/ALL wheels 
from the bottom of gate.

Gate MUST NOT hit or drag 
across the ground.

Gate MUSTswing freely and 
be supported entirely by its 
hinges.

Trench and install conduit. Before trenching, contact underground 
utility locating companies. Conduit must be UL approved for low and 
high voltage. Consider the operator placement BEFORE installing the 
pad or post.

Concrete Pads

SAFETY

Entrapment protection devices are required to protect against any 
entrapment or safety conditions encountered in your gate application. 
Install warning signs on both sides of the gate.

Warning Signs

Entrapment Danger

VEHICLE LOOPS

The vehicle loops allow the gate to stay open when vehicles are 
obstructing the gate path. Suggested for vehicles 14 feet (4.27 m) or 
longer. Vehicle loops are not required but are recommended.
