To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may
come near a moving gate.
• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close
gate cycles.
• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID
objects, such as posts or walls.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT
be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC or solar and battery)
and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of
maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may
be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be
properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of
adequate capacity.
• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control
away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS
THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid
object or reverse when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After
adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to
adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or
DEATH.
• Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is not moving.
• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a
qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
