SAFETY
2.1 EXPLANATION OF THE SYMBOLS
Caution: To prevent personal injury, you must observe the safety
instructions below.
Note: To prevent material damage, you must observe the safety in-
structions below.
Information:This is followed by further information or by a reference to other
documents.
2.2 INTENDED USE
Giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in in-
dustrial, commercial or residential premises.
Carefully read this user manual before operating the gate.
2.3 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•The operator must read the entire user manual before the gate is used for the
first time. The instructions stated in the user manual must be observed and
complied with. All other forms of use can cause unexpected hazards and are
forbidden.
•Any damage to/defects in the gate that could affect the safety of the user or
third parties must be repaired immediately.
•Closing the gate infill openings in any way, such as by means of banners, ad-
vertising signs etc, is not allowed as this may negatively affect the safe opera-
tion of the gate.
•All alterations or extensions to the gate must be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel using parts which the manufacturer has defined as suitable for such al-
terations or extensions. Any failure to comply with these instructions will be
considered as non-compliant behavior and will invalidate the manufacturer's
guarantee, as a result of which the risk entirely transfers to the user.
•Improper usage or servicing or ignoring the operating instructions can be a
source of danger for persons, and/or result in material damage.
•If the meaning of any part of these installation and operating instructions is
not clear, then please contact your supplier before you use the equipment.

2.4 SAFETY PROVISIONS EMPLOYED
To comply with the CE marking, manually operated gates must be designed in ac-
cordance with EN 13241:2003+A2:2016 and EN 12604:2017+A1:2020. Among
other things, these standards specify the safety requirements.
In addition to mechanical requirements, these requirements are mainly:
•Gate leaves must be protected against falling over during normal operation or
if they come in contact with a stationary obstacle.
•Protection against accidental and uncontrolled movements
Uncontrolled movements – for example, due to gusts of wind – can be prevented
by blocking/locking the leaves in a closed and open position.
See the chapter on OPERATION.
•Make sure that the gate leaf is always blocked against unintended movements
caused by gusts of wind. This can result in injury, damage to property or dam-
age to the product.
Provisions have been applied to prevent gate leaves from falling over. These may
differ for each gate type.
See the chapter on SAFETY PROVISIONS.
•Provisions that protect gate leaves from falling over may NEVER be removed.
If they are missing or damaged, make sure that they are replaced as soon as
possible. Please contact Heras if this happens.
2.5 SAFETY DURING USE
•Prevent children playing with the gate.
PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN 
•The gate must not be operated in windy conditions, wind force ≥9 Beaufort.
The gate leaf can swing in a way that can result in damage to the construc-
tion.
•The gate must be able to move freely without there being obstacles in the
gate opening passage or anywhere else on the moving trajectory of the gate.
Do not stick any objects through, over or under the gate which might block
the gate.
•Climbing the gate is strictly forbidden as people climbing the gate could be
hurt if the gate is started unexpectedly.

2.6 SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND DISASSEMBLY
•When working on or cleaning the gate, make sure that the gate leaf is
always blocked against unintentional movements.
•The EN 13241 and EN 12604 standards must be taken into consideration
during installation. To achieve a good safety level, both the above standards
and the national regulations must be taken into account in non-EC countries.

DESCRIPTION
Swing gates are fitted with an integrated lock with a spring-loaded latch bolt/dead-
bolt. These gates are equipped with a door handle and cylinder as standard.
The lock catcher is mounted on the stop post or, in the case of double swing gates,
on the stop leaf.
Leaves can be fitted with a locking pin. This can be used to secure the leaves in the
open position. With double swing gates, locking pins are used to lock the leaves in
the middle when closed.
See the chapter on SLAM PROTECTION.

SAFETY PROVISIONS FOR SWING GATES
Leaves must be extra protected against falling over. This can be done by:
•Installing a third hinge.
If a hinge breaks, the leaf will remain suspended on the other two hinges.
•Or a safety cable that attaches the leaf to the swing post.
Then if the top hinge breaks, the safety cable intercepts the leaf so that it re-
mains suspended on the swing post.
If the bottom hinge breaks, the leaf will remain suspended on the top hinge.
This is required in order to comply with the CE marking. Never remove this safety
cable.

OPERATION
5.1 OPENING/CLOSING THE SWING GATE
Always open/close the leaf at an appropriate speed.
Hold the leaf firmly when opening/closing it so that any gusts of wind do not
lead to unintended movements. The door handle or front vertical post can be
used as a handgrip.
Never slam the leaf against the end position at high speed (>0.2 m/s). This
may damage the product.
5.1.1 Unlocking/opening the swing gate
Insert the matching key into the cylinder and turn it so that the gate is un-
locked. This causes the deadbolt to retract. The gate is now unlocked. The
latch bolt prevents the leaf from opening unintentionally.
Where applicable, slide the locking pin on the locking leaf upward.
Hold down the door handle. At this point, the gate leaf can be opened.
5.1.2 Closing/locking the swing gate
Where applicable, slide the locking pin on the locking leaf upward.
Close the leaf at an appropriate speed so that the spring-loaded latch bolt au-
tomatically engages in the stop. At this point, the leaf is secured against being
opened unintentionally.
Insert the matching key into the cylinder and turn it so that the gate is locked.
Remove the key from the cylinder.
5.2 SLAM PROTECTION
It must be possible to protect gates that remain open against unintentional move-
ments – for example, as a result of gusts of wind.
For swing gates, this can be done using a locking pin or a gate catcher. A gate
catcher must be ordered separately.
5.2.1 LOCKING PIN SWING GATES
Swing gates can be fitted with a locking pin. With some versions this is standard
and with others it is optional. Locking pins can be integrated in the leaf, such as in
the types Euro 2 and Europa, or mounted outside on the leaf, such as in the types
Proteus 2 and Swing.
This can be used to secure the leaves in the open position.

With double swing gates, locking pins are also used to lock the leaves in the centre
when closed.
Integrated locking pin
The integrated locking pin is mounted in the locking post of the gate leaf. It con-
sists of a locking lever, blocking plate and locking tube. The tube can be slid in and
out using the locking lever.
To lock the gates properly, it must be possible for this tube to sink at least 3 cm
into the ground or the stop plate/block (available separately). By turning it so that
it is locked, the blocking plate will be blocked by the deadbolt*.
* For gates with a Heras surface-mounted lock (such as the types Euro 2 and
Proteus 2), the locking tube has a free play of ±4cm before it is blocked by
the deadbolt. Keep this in mind during assembly.

Illustration 4: Integrated locking pin
Surface-mounted locking pin
The surface-mounted locking pin is mounted on the gate leaf.
It consists of a locking lever and a locking pin. The tube can be slid in and out us-
ing the locking lever. To lock the gates properly, it must be possible for this tube to
sink at least 3 cm into the ground or the stop plate/block (available separately).
This lock cannot be locked when the gates are in the open position. When a double
gate is closed, however, the latch on the leaf is protected against unlocking.

GATE MAINTENANCE
6.1 MAINTENANCE
Under normal conditions and with regular maintenance, sliding gates have a life of
at least 200,000 cycles. To ensure that your gate operates safely, reliably and in
compliance with all relevant legislation and laws, we recommend a MINIMUM of one
maintenance check every 12 months.
Any maintenance work, including repair, replacement, modification and upgrade
MUST be conducted by a Heras trained, qualified, competent and certified techni-
cian using Heras approved tools and spare parts.
Failure to ensure that the gate is used in accordance with User manual provided, or
any faults or damage caused by wilful misuse, will result in any warranty becoming
void.
During maintenance, essential points of the sliding gate must be periodically
checked using an inspection protocol.
•Correct operation and adjustment.
•Check all anchor and bolted connections.
•Check wear of hinges
•Check welded joints, damage to coating and zinc
6.2 CLEANING
The gate can be cleaned using a non-aggressive detergent and a soft cloth, brush
or sponge. Avoid using a pressure cleaner as this might damage the gate.
