This manual contains important safety precautions and 
warnings for both the installer and end users or consumers 
of this automatic gate opener system. The following warn-
ings and safety are intended to apply to the most common 
applications but may not apply to all possible installation and 
applications for these products. To reduce risk of injury or 
death:
1.  CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY 
PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION 
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. 
2.  DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE 
GATE CONTROLS. Do not allow children or pets  
to play near the gate opener system. Keep all gate  
control accessories such as remote transmitters,  
keypads, and push buttons out of reach of children  
and store in a secure area when not in use.
3.  Understand how to disconnect the power and  
manually open the gate (beginning on page 61)

4.  Disconnect the gate operator from the gate only when 
the gate is not in motion and the opener system is 
turned o. 
5.  Moving gates can be dangerous. No one, including 
people or animals, should cross the path of a moving 
gate. Maintain a safe distance from moving parts 
and avoid any areas where hands or fingers could be 
pinched.
6.  Become familiar with potential entrapment zones as 
shown in diagram and avoid these areas when the gate 
is turned on. 
7.  The gate opener system must be installed only in  
applications that it is specifically designed for including: 
frequency of use, length, and weight of the gate.
8.  The gate opener system and installation must comply 
with any applicable local codes.
9.  Install the gate operator system on the inside of the 
property, gate, or fence line to prevent public access 
to it. Most applications are installed in a pull-to-open 
configuration so that the gate opens into the property 
and away from any public roads.
10. The control board for the gate operator system should 
be protected from unauthorized access inside the con-
trol box to prevent tampering or adjustments to its set-
ting once installed. The control box is designed so that 
a lock can be attached to keep the box securely closed.  
An accessory Operator Security Lock Kit (AX3L) is 
available for purchase that includes a lock for the con-
trol box, battery box, along with a replacement clevis 
pin and lock to secure the operator to the gate itself. 
11.  Keypads and push-buttons to activate the gate opera-
tor system must be a minimum of 10’ away in direct line 
of sight visibility to the gate so that the user can verify 
that any potential entrapment areas are clear  
of potential obstructions.
