ATTENTION
Do not spray water onto the drive.
Do not install the drive in an explosive environment.
Check that the temperature range marked on the drive is
suited to the installation location.

1.3.2. Condition of the gate to be motorised

in good working order.
Before installing the drive, check that:
• the gate is in good mechanical condition
• the gate is stable regardless of its position
• the structures supporting the gate allow the drive to be
fixed securely. Strengthen these if necessary.
• the gate can be opened and closed properly using a force
of less than 150 N.

1.4. Risk prevention

WARNING
Risk prevention - motorising a hinged gate for residen-
tial use
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping)
between the motorised section and the surrounding fixed
sections created by the opening of the motorised section
are avoided or indicated on the installation.
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels near to any
fixed control devices, and so that they are clearly visible
to the user.
