RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS
Install The Gate Operator Only If:
• The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application and the gate is within the
weight and length limitations specified for the operator.
• All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to
a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼ inch (57.15 mm) diameter
sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the
adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
• This operator is intended for installation only on slide gates used to control vehicular traffic.
Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.
• The gate must be installed in a location so that sufficient clearance is provided between the
gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment (see
diagram). Sliding gates should not open into public access areas.
• The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation
of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch to compensate for a damaged
gate.
• Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in
contact with the gate while operating the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls
should have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
• All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate.
