Safety Information
Important User Information:
Automatic gate systems provide user convenience and limit vehicular traffic. Because these systems can produce high levels of force, it is important that you are aware of the potential hazards associated with the system. Potential hazards may include pinch points, entrapment positions, lack of proper pedestrian access, blind spots for traffic visibility.
It is the joint responsibility of the designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify the system is properly configured for its intended use. Be sure the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the gate system before use. Be sure the installer trains you about the basic functions of the required reversing devices associated with the gate system and how to properly test them. Reversing devices may include reverse loops, sensing edges, photoelectric cells, inherent reverse detection, and/or other external devices.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:
- A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Read and follow all installation manuals, reference manuals, and warning label instructions.
- Vehicular gates are for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance. Keep all pedestrian traffic away from any vehicular gate. No one should cross the path of a moving gate.
- Never allow children to operate or play with gate controls. Never allow children to play in the area of a gate system.
- Access control devices must be placed far enough from moving gates to prevent the user from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls.
- All activating devices must be installed in a clear line-of-sight with the gate and its travel.
- Activating devices must be installed a minimum of 10 feet away from the gate.
- Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
- Mount all operating devices clearly out of reach of through gates.
- DO NOT install any device unless all potential hazards and pinch points have been eliminated.
