Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or death, it is important to read all safety instructions.
These safety instructions have been prepared by LiftMaster, the manufacturer of the barrier gate. As
the manufacturer of only part of the total barrier gate system, we do not know what type of controls or
safety equipment that has been selected as part of your system.
An automatic vehicular gate arm is a large, heavy object that moves with the help of an electric motor.
A moving gate arm can cause serious injury or death. Your safety and the safety of others
depends on you reading, understanding, and following through on the safety instructions in this
manual. It is important that both the installer and end users are aware of the hazards of your specific
system.
If you have any questions or doubts about the safety of your system, or if you do not completely
understand everything in this manual, contact LiftMaster.
Before Installation
! Installation of this barrier gate must be done by a qualified installer.
! Check to make sure that the available power supply to be connected to the operator is of the
same voltage, phase, frequency, and wattage as indicated on the nameplate of the operator.
! Installation and wiring must be in compliance with local building and electrical codes.
! It is strongly recommended that you use safety equipment with this barrier gate
operator. There are many types of safety devices available; sensing edges, photo-electric
controls, motion detectors, and vehicle detectors are some of the more common types.
Audible and/or visible warning devices are recommended when automatic controls are used in
the gate operating system.
If you need advice regarding the type of safety equipment that should be used on your
application or wish to purchase such equipment, contact the supplier of the barrier gate, or
contact LiftMaster. Without safety equipment, the gate could cause serious injury or
death.
! Carefully plan the location of barrier gate control equipment. Do not locate controls in places
where children will be able to reach or play with them. Be sure the person operating the
controls can see the full area of movement of the gate arm from the point of operation.
During Installation
! Do not place hands or fingers in or near the barrier gate unless power is off. Moving chains,
pulleys, or belts can catch clothing or fingers and cause severe injury.
! Always disconnect power and lock out whenever installing or servicing the barrier gate.
! If the barrier gate utilizes any automatic means of operation (such as automatic timed
closings), post warning signs that are clearly visible to persons in the area warning of the
particular hazards of the system.
