• 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.

Sliding gates should not open into public access areas.

the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch to compensate for a damaged gate.
