Swing Gate. See page 3 for an explanation of the different
Class locations. See the last page of this manual for the
operator specifications (voltage, maximum gate weight &

• Make sure that the gate moves freely, all hinges are in good
working order, the gate does not bind in any manner and the
gate swing area is clean and free of irregularities. DO NOT
