Section 1
— Important Safety Information — READ FIRST!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all
instructions found in this manual and on warning labels.
Save These Important Owner and User Instructions:
(Installers – be certain to instruct the owners and users about the
following items.)
 Automatic gates are for vehicular use only! Provide walkways and
signs to direct pedestrians to a separate walk-through entrance.
Because an automatic gate can start at any time without warning,
always keep people away from the gate area. The Warning signs that
have been supplied with this operator must remain installed, in
manner clearly visible on both sides of the gate.
 Never allow children to use or play with the controls that operate the
gate. Keep all remote controls away from children, especially radio
transmitters.
 Teach all users how to turn off the electric power source and how to release and move the
gate manually. Use the manual release only when the gate is not moving.
 Test gate operator functionality monthly. The gate MUST reverse direction of travel upon
contact with a rigid object, and/or stop upon a sensing a second sequential activation prior to
reaching a full travel limit. Also test for the normal function of any non-contact sensors. If the
gate system employs the use of a transmitting edge sensor, be especially certain to routinely
test and replace its battery.
 KEEP AUTOMATIC GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a professional gate installer
perform routine entrapment protection sensor tests. This includes photo eyes and gate edges.
Repair gate hardware when encountered to keep the gate running smoothly. Failure, to make
timely repairs or adjust and test a gate operator properly, can increase the risk of injury or
death.
 In addition to appropriately placed external entrapment sensors, ask your installer to reduce
the pressure relief valve setting to the lowest setting allowable that reliably operates the
hydraulic gate. This valve controls the force of the operator, and the sensitivity of the inherent
reversing sensor.
 Do not attempt to disable or muffle the Warn Before Operate buzzer, except in Class IV
restricted access locations. This buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to
move.
