SAFETY INFORMATION
AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT!!
Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate’s slide
is free and level throughout the entire opening distance. 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 through the fabric
is ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different
classifications, depending on their design and usage.
Class I: Residential
A vehicle gate operator (or system) intended for use in a
home of one to four single-family dwellings, or a garage or
parking area associated therewith.
Class II: Commercial or General Public Access
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in
a commercial location or building such as a multi-family
housing unit (five or more single-family units), hotel, garage,
retail store, or other building servicing the general public.
Class III: Industrial or Limited Access
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in
an industrial location or building such as a factory or load-
ing dock area or other locations not intended to service
the general public.
Class IV: Restricted Access
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in
a guarded industrial location or building such as an airport
security area or other restricted access locations not ser-
vicing the general public, in which unauthorized access is
prevented via supervision by security personnel.
