Read the following before beginning to install LINEAR slide 
gate operators:

1.  Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed 

with the packet of information. If you do not have one, 
please call LINEAR at 1-800-333-1717 to request one.  
Read and follow all instructions.

2.  All electrical connections to the power supply must be 

made by a licensed electrician and must observe all 
national and local electrical codes.

3.  A separate power-disconnect switch should be located 

near the operator so that primary power can be turned 
off when necessary.

4.  A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be in-

stalled, one on each side of the gate where easily vis-
ible.

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If 
you fi nd damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential

SAFETY INFORMATION

AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT!!

Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate’s slide 
is free and level throughout the entire opening distance. If 
the gate does not seem to operate properly, it may affect the 
operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. 
The gate should be designed so that airfl ow through the fabric 
is ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.

All gate operators can be divided into one of four different 
classifi cations, depending on their design and usage.

Class I: Residential

A vehicle gate operator (or system) intended for use in a 
home of one to four single-family dwellings, or a garage or 
parking area associated therewith.

Class II: Commercial or General Public Access 

A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in 
a commercial location or building such as a multi-family 
housing unit (fi ve or more single-family units), hotel, garage, 
retail store, or other building servicing the general public.

Class III: Industrial or Limited Access

A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in 
an industrial location or building such as a factory or load-
ing dock area or other locations not intended to service 
the general public.

Class IV: Restricted Access

A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in 
a guarded industrial location or building such as an airport 
security area or other restricted access locations not ser-
vicing the general public, in which unauthorized access is 
prevented via supervision by security personnel.
