This manual contains important safety precautions and
warnings for both the installer and end users or consumers
of this automatic gate opener system. The following warn-
ings and safety are intended to apply to the most common
applications but may not apply to all possible installation and
applications for these products. To reduce risk of injury or
death:
1. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
2. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE
GATE CONTROLS. Do not allow children or pets
to play near the gate opener system. Keep all gate
control accessories such as remote transmitters,
keypads, and push buttons out of reach of children
and store in a secure area when not in use.

4. Disconnect the gate operator from the gate only when
the gate is not in motion and the opener system is
turned o.
5. Moving gates can be dangerous. No one, including
people or animals, should cross the path of a moving
gate. Maintain a safe distance from moving parts
and avoid any areas where hands or fingers could be
pinched.
6. Become familiar with potential entrapment zones as
shown in diagram and avoid these areas when the gate
is turned on.
7. The gate opener system must be installed only in
applications that it is specifically designed for including:
frequency of use, length, and weight of the gate.
8. The gate opener system and installation must comply
with any applicable local codes.
9. Install the gate operator system on the inside of the
property, gate, or fence line to prevent public access
to it. Most applications are installed in a pull-to-open
configuration so that the gate opens into the property
and away from any public roads.
10. The control board for the gate operator system should
be protected from unauthorized access inside the con-
trol box to prevent tampering or adjustments to its set-
ting once installed. The control box is designed so that
a lock can be attached to keep the box securely closed.
An accessory Operator Security Lock Kit (AX3L) is
available for purchase that includes a lock for the con-
trol box, battery box, along with a replacement clevis
pin and lock to secure the operator to the gate itself.
11. Keypads and push-buttons to activate the gate opera-
tor system must be a minimum of 10’ away in direct line
of sight visibility to the gate so that the user can verify
that any potential entrapment areas are clear
of potential obstructions.
