MM571W / MM572W Installation Instructions

WARNING
I. Before Installation
1.
Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, frequency of use
and class of the gate system.
2.
Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both
directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to
installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will
enhance the performance of the entrapment protection devices used with
the system (see page 7).
3.
Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety
features. Understand how to disconnect the operator for manual gate
operation (see previous page).
4.
The gate and operator installation must comply with any applicable local
codes.
5.
This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates only. A separate entrance
or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (see page 8).
6.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.
No one should cross the path of a moving gate.
7.
Identify all of the entrapment zones for the type of installation. An
entrapment zone is an area around the automatic gate system where
a person or object could be caught that increase the risk of injury.
Entrapment zones should be eliminated, guarded or protected.
8.
When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main
thoroughfare, make sure the gate system is placed far enough from the
road to prevent traffic congestion.

1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control
away from children.
3.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS
THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4.
Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a
rigid object or stop 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.
5.
Use the manual/emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
6.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the user’s manual. Have
a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
7.
The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate
entrance.
8.
The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate
clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and
closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not
open into public access areas.
9.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
