Safety Installation Information
1.
READ and FOLLOW all instruction.
2.
The gate opener is intended for use with Class I vehicular swing gates.
3.
Class I denotes a vehicular gate opener (or system) dwelling, or a garage or
parking area associated therewith.
4.
Install the gate opener only when the opener is appropriate for the
construction and the usage class of the gate.
5.
Gate opening system designers, installers and users must take into account
the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly
designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as
the bystander. Gate system design and installation must reduce public exposure to
potential hazards. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated or guarded.
6.
A gate opener can create high levels of force during normal operation.
Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every installation. Specific
safety features include safety sensors.
7.
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to
the installation of the gate opener.
8.
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided
between the gate and adjacent structure when opening and closing to reduce the
risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
9.
The opener is intended for use only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians
must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening
shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. The pedestrian access shall be
located such that persons will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate.
