To the Owner/End User of Allstar’s HDSWG 1000:
Thank you for choosing an Allstar product. We are confident you will
have many years of use and satisfaction with your gate operator.
Our HDSWG 1000 Operator is part of your unique gate operating
system, which may consist of a variety of components, including the
gate, the gate tracks, posts, and electronic safety features. These
components combined present certain risks and safety issues of which
you, the end user, must be aware.
Each unique system presents a unique set of hazards which we cannot
possibly address individually. These instructions will help you to
identify the potential risks and safety issues your gate operator system
presents, and guide you as you make your system as safe as possible for
everyone who uses it.
Your first step is to consider the intended use of the gate system, who
will be using the gate system, and in what manner the system is
installed. You should have a clear understanding of how often the gate
will be opened, who will be opening it, whether children and the
general public will be near the gate system, and how close the gate
system is to public property. Once you have answered these questions,
you are ready to decide what safety measures must be taken to prevent
injury.
To minimize the risk of entrapment in your gate system, install the
following safety features:
•
Electric gate edges
•
Enclosed tracks
•
Vertical guard posts
•
Protective screen mesh
•
Photoelectric sensors
•
Instructional and precautionary signs
•
Covers for exposed rollers
Each safety feature is a separate component in your gate system. Read
and follow all intructions for each of the components of your unique
system. Ensure that all instructions for mechanical components,
safety features and the Allstar HDSWG 1000 are available for
everyone who will be using your gate system.
The two warning signs shipped with your HDSWG 1000 Operator (See
Figure 2, Page 4 of this manual) must be installed in prominant
positions on both sides of your gate. Keep them clean and legible.
Read and follow the safety points on the following page which present
the basic guidelines for the safest operation of your gate operator
system.
ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES MUST BE
INCORPORATED INTO YOUR GATE SYSTEM.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC OR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
The internal operator overload sensor may not be adequate entrapment protection in all situations to prevent arm,
leg, or hand injuries. Padded electric gate edges, pneumatic gate edges, or photoelectric sensors are therefore
necessary when automatic gates are used near pedestrian traffic. See the figure below. Use of a pedestrian walk gate
is mandatory where there is nearby pedestrian traffic.
