ROLE OF END USERS/HOME OWNER End users should be made aware that they must: • Contact a trained gate systems technician to maintain and repair the gate system (End users should never attempt to repair the gate) • Retain and utilize the installation and maintenance manual and safety instructions. • Routinely check all gate operator functions and gate movement. • Discontinue use if safety systems operate improperly, the gate is damaged, or the gate is difficult to move. • Never overtighten the operator clutch of load sensing device to compensate for a damaged or stiff operating gate. • Prominently display and maintain warning signs on both sides of the gate. • Keep all obstructions clear of the vicinity of the path of the gate system. • Actively discourage pedestrian use of the vehicular gate operating system. • Prevent anyone from playing near any part of the gate system. • Never allow anyone to climb under, over or through a gate or the adjacent fence area. • Never allow children to operate gate. • Keep portable controls out of reach of children. • Never allow anyone to install an operating control within reach of the gate. • Never allow anyone to install a horizontal slide gate with exposed rollers or openings large enough to allow a sphere of 2 1/4 inches to pass through any portion of the gate below a 4 foot height, including the area of the adjacent fence covered when the gate is in the open position. • Always be certain that the gate area is clear of pedestrians before operating the gate. SWING GATE SYSTEMS • Entrapment Zone Hazard - Body parts may become entrapped between a gate and a stationary object when the gate begins to move, which can result in serious injury or death. Pedestrians must stay clear of the gate path, and any area where gate motion is close to stationary objects. • Pinch Points Hazard - The opening mechanism may have arms that can overlap with a scissoring effect, which can result in serious injury. Pedestrians must stay clear of the opening mechanism at all times, particularly when gate is opening. Be sure that warning signs are prominently displayed on both sides of the gate and any other place where danger exists. 7

Entrapment Zone Hazard
- Body parts may become entrapped between a gate and a stationary object

of the gate path, and any area where gate motion is close to stationary objects.
Pinch Points Hazard
- The opening mechanism may have arms that can overlap with a scissoring
effect, which can result in serious injury. Pedestrians must stay clear of the opening mechanism at all
times, particularly when gate is opening.
Be sure that warning signs are prominently displayed on both sides of the gate and any other place
