NB
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.

been incorrectly installed.
Before installing the drive, check that:
• the gate is in good mechanical condition

• the gate holding the rack must be sufficiently robust.
• the gate can be opened and closed properly using a force
of less than 150 N.

1.4. Risk prevention

WARNING
Risk prevention - sliding gate drive for residential
use
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping)
between the driven section and the surrounding fixed
sections created by the opening of the driven section are
prevented, or indicated on the installation.
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels near any
fixed control devices or so that they are clearly visible.
