INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate and its frequency
of use. If you are not sure, consult factory.
2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which may pose a risk
of entrapment when gate is opening or closing.
3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works freely in
both directions. Replace or service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to
installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and enhance the
performance of the operator as well as the safety devices used within the system.
4. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence line. DO NOT
install an operator on the public side of the gate.
5. Severe injury or death can result from entrapment by a gate. The operator is supplied
with an obstruction sensing primary entrapment protection system. Additional safety
equipment such as electric edges or photocell sensors must be installed to provide
the required secondary entrapment protection system. For assistance in selecting the
correct type of safety equipment, consult the factory.
6. Review the operation of the unit and become familiar with the manual operation
procedure and safety features of the system.
7. You must install a pushbutton control or key switch to allow for normal operation of
the gate if the automatic controls do not work. Locate the push button or key switch
and small warning placard within sight of the gate in a secured area at least 10 feet or
more from any moving parts of the gate or operator.
8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be of the security type to prohibit
unauthorized use. Please consult your local distributor concerning the types and
specifications of available controls.
DURING INSTALLATION
1. Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points.
2. Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric service connections.
Connection location for controls and safety equipment can be found on the wiring
diagram, and in this manual.
3. Know the procedure for disengaging and manually operating the unit.
4. Adjust the open and close force adjustment on the control board, in each direction,
to the minimum force required to operate the gate smoothly.
DO NOT increase the
force adjustment setting to make up for rough spots in gate travel -
FIX THE GATE
