1. Back Cover IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force all system designers installers and consumers have an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed installed or maintained gate operator systems Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience security and safety This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer installer and consumer Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature They do however provide an overview of the safe design installation and use of this product CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNINGS AND INSTALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN INSTALLATION AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this A warning symbol The symbol identifies condi tions that can result in damage to the operator or its components serious injury or death Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system it is the responsibility of the designer installer and purchaser to ensure that the total system is safe for it
