PRE-INSTALLATION
INFORMATION
Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage.
If you find damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential
claim.
Inspect your package carefully. You can check your
accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your
convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only
30 days from the date of shipment.
Before installing the operator, read this manual completely
to ensure all requirements for proper installation are pres-
ent. Verify that the voltage to be used matches the voltage
of the operator.
SAFETY INFORMATION
AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT!!
Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate’s
swing is free and level throughout the entire swing path. If
the gate does not seem to operate properly, it may affect
the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the
unit. The gate should be designed so that airflow is ample
to prevent wind resistance and drag.

detection devices have been approved for use
