IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For The Consumer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction
manual could cause severe injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

2.

When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed
far enough from the road to prevent traffi c congestion.

3.

The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when
opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas.

4.

The gate and gate opener installation must comply with any applicable local codes.

I. Before Installation

1. Verify this dual opener is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use and the proper class rating.

2.

Make sure the dual gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn
or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will
enhance the performance of the opener and safety devices used with the system.

3.

Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the
opener for manual gate operation (see page 1).

4.

This gate opener is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian
use (see page 6).

5.

Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE

PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

6.

Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.
