FOR SLIDE GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS
SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users.
However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is
important that all gate operator system designers, installers, and end users be
aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed,
or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is a component
part of a total gate operating system.
The following information contains various safety precautions and warnings for
the system designer, installer and end user. These instructions provide an
overview of the importance of safe design, installation, and use.
Warnings are identified with the Ÿ symbol. This symbol will identify some of
the conditions that can result in serious injury or death. Take time to carefully
read and follow these precautions and other important information provided to
help ensure safe system design, installation and use.
Ÿ WARNING: Gate operators are only one part of a TOTAL GATE
OPERATING SYSTEM. It is the responsibility of purchaser, designer, and
installer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. All
secondary entrapment safety devices must be RECOGNIZED by U/L to
ensure the safety of the complete operating system.
