SAFETY RULES

The actual opening of a gate may create dangerous situations for people, goods and vehicles in the vicinity
that by nature, cannot always be avoided by design.
The possible hazards depend on the state of the gate, the manner in which it is used and the installation
site.
After having checked that the gate to be motorised complies with the requirements given in this chapter
and before beginning the installation, a hazard analysis of the installation must be conducted in order to
eliminate all dangerous situations or to indicate them if they cannot be eliminated.
1 - ELIMINATING HAZARDS
The hazards posed by a two-panel motorised gate, as well as the adapted solutions to eliminate those
hazards, are as follows:
Subpanels
Following installation, there may be a shear zone between the panel and the corner of the post.
In this case, it is recommended to remove this zone leaving a minimum working distance of 100mm either
by positioning the side stops accordingly or by notching the corner of the posts without weakening them,
or both if necessary.
If this is not possible, the hazard must be clearly reported.

Bottom edges
Following installation, there may be a dangerous zone for toes between the bottom edge of the gate and
the ground, as indicated in the following figure.
In this case, this area must be removed leaving a working distance of minimum 120mm or maximum 5mm.
