Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal
The Kinetic operator uses sealed, state-of-the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries Wallace International
highly recommends replacing used batteries with new AGM-type batteries.
The batteries used with the Kinetic gate operator contain materials that are considered
hazardous to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law.
Refer to federal guidelines found in
Hazardous Waste Regulations
..
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
• Observe the polarity between the batteries and charging circuit.
• Never mix battery sizes, types, or brands. The charging circuit on Wallace International DC operators is
designed for AGM-type batteries, not lead acid-type batteries. Wallace International strongly recommends
that only sealed AGM style batteries be used.
• Exercise care in handling batteries. Be aware that the metal found in rings, bracelets, and keys can conduct
electricity and cause other injuries. The material within batteries is toxic.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Battery cells contain corrosive materials which may cause burns and
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware to keep the gate running smoothly.
• Always dispose of batteries properly. DO NOT place batteries in fire. The battery cells may explode.
