Install the gate operator only if:
1. It will not pose a hazard to the public.
2. There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares.
3. The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once completed.
4. The gate mass, length and application is within the operator specifications (see page 9).
5. The gate is in good working order, meaning:
!
That it moves freely.
!
Does not move on its own if left in any position.
6. It can be installed to have sufficient clearance between moving parts when opening and closing to
reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment.
7. Pushbuttons or key switches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is in line of sight of the
operator.
General considerations for the installation:
1. Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges and safety
beams, for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical risks.
2. Check that there is enough ground clearance below the motor to enable assembly of the drive arm
clamps (see page 21).
3. Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation.
4. Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the required open position.
5. Check for loose sandy soil if installing foundations, as the soil condition may require a larger
foundation.
6. Check the strength of the mounting pillar in the case of a wall mount installation.
7. If the swing gate leaf is longer than 2.5m for a wall mount installation, or 3.5m for pedestal-mount
installations, ensure that a lock can be fitted.
8. Never fit the operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it. (Follow the
instructions for an outward opening swing gate, if required.)
