ATTENTION
Do not spray water onto the motorisation.
Do not install the motorisation in an explosive environ-
ment.
Check that the temperature range marked on the mo-
torisation is suited to the installation location.

1.3.2. Condition of the gate to be motorised

Before installing the motorisation, check that:
• the gate is in good mechanical condition,
• the gate is stable regardless of its position,
• 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
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trap-
ping) between the driven section and the surrounding
fixed sections created by the opening of the driven sec-
tion are prevented, or indicated on the installation.
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels so that
they are clearly visible, or near any fixed control devices.
