Safety Installation Information
1. READ and FOLLOW all instruction.
2. The gate opener is intended for use with Class I
vehicular swing gates.
Class I denotes a vehicular gate opener (or system)
dwellings, a garage or parking area associated with.
Install the gate opener only when the opener is
appropriate for the construction and the usage class of
the gate.
3. Gate opening system designers, installers and
users must take into account the possible hazards
associated with each individual application. Improperly
designed, installed or maintained systems can create
risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate
system design and installation must reduce public
exposure to potential hazards. All exposed pinch
points must be eliminated or guarded.
4. A gate opener can create high levels of force
during normal operation. Therefore, safety features
must be incorporated into every installation. Specific
safety features include safety sensors.
5. The gate must be properly installed and work
freely in both directions prior to the installation of the
gate opener.
6. The gate must be installed in a location so that
enough clearance is provided between the gate and
adjacent structure when opening and closing to
reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall
not open into public access areas.
7. The opener is intended for use only on gates used
for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a
separate access opening. The pedestrian access
opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian
usage. The pedestrian access shall be located
where person(s) will not come in contact with the
moving vehicular gate.
8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a
moving gate. The gate opener is not adequate for
pedestrian use. Pedestrians must be supplied with
a separate pedestrian access.
9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors
(safety sensors), see product manual on the
placement of non-contact sensors (safety sensors) for
each type of application.
a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the
safety sensor while the gate is still moving.
b. One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors)
shall be located where the risk of entrapment of
obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by
a moving gate or barrier.
10. Never mount any device that operates the gate
opener where the user can reach over, under, around
or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls
are to be placed at least 6’ (1.8m) from any part of the
moving gate.
11. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator
after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment
protection device or devices must be located in the
line of sight of the gate, or the controls that have
easy access shall have a security feature to
prevent unauthorized use. Never allow anyone to
hang on or ride the gate during the entire travel of
the gate.
12. Each gate opener is provided with two safety
warning placards. The placards are to be installed on
the front and back of the gate where they are fully
visible. The placards may be mounted using cable ties
through the four holes provided on each placard.
All warning signs and placards must be installed
where visible from the gate area.

13. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other
underground utility lines, contact underground utility
locating companies BEFORE digging.
SAVE INSTRUCTION.
14. Do not permit children to play on or around the
gate and keep all controls out of their reach.

Preparation for Installation
There are two installation types for the gate opener, Pull-to-Open and Push-to-Open.
Our gate opener is designed for Pull-to-Open, in the Push-to-Open installation, please purchase
Push-To-Open Bracket from your supplier.
The gate opener is mounted to the gate
and to the gate post. Both round and
square posts can be used because the
Post Brackets are curved. When
mounting the Post Brackets, use bolts
long enough to pass through the entire
post. M10 x 200 bolts are included.
Concrete anchors are not provided.
When mounting the Post Brackets to
wooden posts, a larger-size washer or
metal plate should be used between the
bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware. If the post is smaller than 6"
diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set in cement to ensure its stability.
Install the Gate Opener on the Gate
The position of Post Bracket is very important. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine
the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket. The tables show the maximum opening angle of the gate for
a given A and B. For example, if A is 15 cm and B is 20 cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 110°.
Pull-to-Open Installation — Gate in Closed position (Moving-Rod is extended)
NOTE: Ensure the gate does not open into public areas.

5. Make sure there is a minimum clearance of 2.5cm between the gate and the opener and that the opener and
the Post Pivot Bracket are not binding in both the gate-open and gate-closed positions. If there is not at least
2.5cm of clearance or if the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are binding, rotate the Post Pivot Bracket and/or
move the Post Bracket Assembly to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding. When the
minimum clearance has been obtained and any binding has been eliminated, place the M8 x 30 bolt through the
aligned holes in the Post Bracket and the Post Pivot Bracket.
