SAFETY DURING USE

Children or people with a disability must not operate the gate. Parents must supervise
their children to prevent them playing with the gate.
 PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN 
Keep a safe distance from the moving gate. Warning icons to this effect have been

installed in various locations
 Only pass through the gate when it is completely open.
 The gate must not be operated in windy conditions, wind force ≥9 Beaufort. The gate
leaf can swing in a way that can result in damage to the construction.
 The safety edges serve as emergency facilities to immediately stop and reverse the
gate movement. Using them as a regular gate stop feature is not allowed. Since the
head stiles of the gate have safety edges that cannot cover their full height, there is
still some risk of people getting trapped by the gate here.
When hold-to-run-control is employed, the gate must only be operated if it can be

seen completely, directly and in real-time. Operation must be via a permanently
installed operating device, for instance a key switch or push button. This operating
device must be located in such a way that the operator's position is safe. The gate
must stop immediately when the button or key is released. Other operating devices
are not allowed.
 The gate must be able to move freely without there being obstacles in the gate
opening passage or anywhere else on the moving trajectory of the gate.
 Do not stick any objects through, over or under the gate which might block the gate.
 The gate running surface must always be free from snow, ice or dirt that might affect
its sliding behaviour. In the event of frost, check this before commissioning the gate.
If the running surface is blocked, the gate will not move at all or will not complete its
movement. An irregular running surface may cause damage to the drive and/or road
wheels.
 In certain circumstances, the sun can temporarily distort the gate. When closing the
gate, the leaf is guided to its neutral position. When opening the gate, the leaf will
move around somewhat. This has no adverse consequences for the construction.
 Climbing the gate is strictly forbidden as people climbing the gate could be hurt if the
gate is started unexpectedly.
 Do not place any obstacles in the opening.
 Always lock the drive unit cabinet during use.

SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND DISASSEMBLY

 When work is carried out or while cleaning the gate, the power supply to the system
must be switched off and it must be ensured that it cannot be switched on
unexpectedly.
 Use the necessary personal safety equipment.
 The gate is driven by means of a gear wheel. This is located under the beam and it
is partly screened off by the drive unit cabinet. Beware of moving parts when
