PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES!
NOTE: BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY PART OF THE INSTALLATION, YOU MUST READ THE
ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FIRST AND AGREE TO THE STIPULATIONS STATED ON THE
WARRANTY PAGE.
PROPER DESIGN: Is important in your system layout and installation. Safety devices must be used
at all available points where injury or property damage may occur. For protection from injury to
persons, use photo electric eyes on both sides of gate and pressure sensing edges at all pinch points
and at the front leading edge of the gate. Safety loops (vehicle detectors) should be installed in front
of and behind the gate to provide a reverse signal or stop signal to the gate operator. ALL SAFETY
DEVICES SHOULD BE TESTED AND INSPECTED WEEKLY. IF A SAFETY DEVICE SHOWS TO
NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY, THE UNIT SHOULD BE DISABLED UNTIL REPAIR CAN BE MADE
BY A PROPERLY TRAINED / EXPERIENCED SERVICE COMPANY.
As the system designer/installer, you must advise your customer/end user on the correct usage of the
gate operator and the system. In providing the service of design/installation of the operator and
system, you are responsible for proper training of the customer as well as for the proper SAFE
OPERATION. All precautions to eliminate ALL hazards MUST be taken before the unit can be put
into operation. You MUST advise and warn your customer of any hazards that remain or if they
choose to not use any of the recommended safety devices in the installation.
YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO GET IN WRITING
FROM YOUR CUSTOMER THEIR
ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR SYSTEM AND ACCEPTANCE OF ANY HAZARDS THAT REMAIN.
SAFETY TIPS: 1) Install the warning signs provided so that they are CLEARLY VISIBLE to
any one in the area of the gate. (should your customer reject the usage of the
warning signs, you will need to have them sign a disclaimer).
2) Install any and all devices that will open or close the gate so that the entire
gate and operator will be in full view by the person operating the gate.
3) DO NOT ALLOW any control device to be located so that a person can
access them by reaching through the gate pickets. Devices must be at least 10
feet from gate and gate operator.
4) Installing a pressure sensing edge (safety edge) at front of gate to reduce
the possibility of entrapment (use J5 terminal #5 and common).
CAUTION:
FOR USE ON A GATE WITH A MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 650 POUNDS
AND A MAXIMUM LENGTH OF 18 FEET. NO BINDING IS ALLOWED, GATE MUST
BE FREE MOVING. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT HINGES
WITH BEARINGS BE USED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS.
