Keep the remote control away from children. 3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. 4. Test the gate operator monthly.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued 6. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. MAINTENANCE Remove the Power Harness from the Control Board (refer to page 15) • Clean and lubricate the turning pins and gate hinges using the recommended lubricant. • Check that all mounting hardware of the gate operator is properly tighten. • Ensure that the gate moves freely. • Check for corroded parts and replace if necessary.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION CAUTION: To Reduce the Risk of Fire or Injury to Persons a) Use only the following type and size of battery(ies): Yuasa NP7-12 b) Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for possible disposal instructions. c) Do not open or mutalate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic fi swallowed.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. NOTE - This type of installation DOES NOT reverse the gate all the way back to its limits when the photo-beam is obstructed. This installation is only to protect against entrapment and to comply with UL325. Photo Beam (non-contact sensor) Installation Secondary Entrapment Protection Photo beams or like must be installed to reduce the risk of entrapment.

GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CAUTION - If mounting bar is not welded to a frame member that runs the full length of the gate, the gate operator may damage the gate. Do not weld the bar or backing plate to a few pickets. STEP 1 Release the clutch (see page 7). Cut the extension arms according to the desired plan of installation (Figure A on page 10). Note: Leave some additional material when cutting the extension arms to allow for additional adjustment.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Step 4 Upon observation of the satisfactory arrangement of the articulated arm and bracket, weld all pieces securely. Paint the arm to protect it from rusting. STEP 5 Upon test of the installation, loosen the clutch and rotate it until it lines up with the notches in the Output Shaft. Insert the Clutch Key. Insert Clutch Key STEP 6 Check the Clutch adjustment. The Clutch is shipped factory adjusted.
