GATE OPERATOR
CLASSIFICATIONS
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different
classifications, depending on their design and usage.
Class I: Residential
A vehicle gate operator (or system) intended for use in a
home of one to four single-family dwellings, or a garage or
parking area associated therewith.
Class II: Commercial or General Public Access
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a
commercial location or building such as a multi-family housing unit (five or more single-family units), hotel, garage, retail store, or other building servicing the general public.
Class III: Industrial or Limited Access
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in an
industrial location or building such as a factory or loading
dock area or other locations not intended to service the general public.
Class IV: Restricted Access
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a
guarded industrial location or building such as an airport
security area or other restricted access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized access is
prevented via supervision by security personnel.
SAFETY INFORMATION
AND WARNINGS
Read the following before beginning to install OSCO slide
gate operators:
1. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed
with the packet of information. If you do not have one,
please call OSCO at 1-800-333-1717 to request one. Read
and follow all instructions.
2. All electrical connections to the power supply must be
made by a licensed electrician and must observe all
national and local electrical codes.
3. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located
near the operator so that primary power can be turned off
when necessary .
4. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the
gate. Each sign must be plainly visible from the side of
the gate on which they are mounted.
5. Never reach between, through or around the fence to
operate the gate.
6. Y ou must install all required safety equipment.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If
you find damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential claim.
IMPORTANT!!
Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate’ s slide
is free and level throughout the entire opening distance. If the
gate does not seem to operate properly , it may affect the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The
gate should be designed so that airflow through the fabric is
ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
WIRING SPECIFICATIONS
1. Select from the chart at the bottom of this page corresponding to the
model, voltage and horsepower rating of your operator.
2. The distance shown on the chart is measured in feet from the operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM DIS-
TANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115V and
230V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under the
standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the upper
end of the chart for the gauge of wire you are using.
3. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied) may be needed for the operator power connection.
4. All control devices are now 24VDC, which can be run considerable
distances. 24VAC is available for other devices, such as loop detectors and photo eyes.
5. Wire run calculations are based on the National Electrical Code, Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor inrush,
brake solenoids, and operator requirements.

Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in
some accessories.
9. Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115VAC models for convenience
with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If you
choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will decrease the distance for maximum run and the charts will no longer be
accurate.
10. A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect master
and slave operators. Y ou must use Belden 8760 Twisted Pair Shielded
Cable (or equivalent) only – OSCO part number 2500-1982, per
foot). See page 9 for details of this connection, as well as dip switch
selection. Note: The SHIELD wire should be connected in both
the master and slave operators

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
POST MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL GSLG-A
Before installing, make sure the gate rolls or slides freely,
and that all exposed rollers are properly covered. The gate
must be covered with fabric with openings no larger than
2 1/4” in size, to a minimum height of 48 inches from ground
level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than
2 1/4” apart, mesh is optional.
Use two 3 - 3 1/2” OD galvanized posts and secure with
concrete footings as shown, length to be determined by
local codes, frost line depth and soil conditions. Secure the
operator to the posts using the 4” U-bolts, side plates, and
hardware. There are a total of eight side plates. There are
six 3/16” side plates which should be mounted on the
outside top and bottom of the cabinet, two 3/16” side plates
which go on the top inside and two 1/2” side plates which
should be mounted on the inside top of the cabinet as shown
in the illustration at the right.
To assemble the drive chain and gate brackets, refer to page
6. Make sure that the chain sag does not exceed recommended sizes and that the chain does not come into contact
with the moving parts of the gate or ground.
For optional pad mounting instructions, see OSCO drawing
#2700-360.

GATE BRACKET AND CHAIN ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Numbered items in these
drawings are for instructional
reference only . For actual part
numbers, go to the parts lists
in the back of this booklet.
Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate,
using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before
tightening down completely , be sure the bracket is parallel
to the gate. Tighten the U-bolt hardware the rest of the way ,
then screw the square head bolts (4) into the threaded holes
in the gate plate until they bottom out against the gate.
These will help keep the bracket from twisting on the pipe.
Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown,
with spring (6), flat washer (10), and two hex nuts (7).
Attach one end of the drive chain (8) to the chain pin using
master link (9) and begin unrolling it toward the operator.
Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate operator. Carefully thread the drive chain under the first idler , over
the drive sprocket, and then under the last idler. Make sure
you feed most of the chain through the sprockets for attaching to the back end of the gate.
Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the
gate, using the same process as you did with the front gate
bracket. Once this is done, take the other chain pin, spring
and jam nuts and assemble with the end of drive chain and
the other master link.
At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension
by tightening the jam nuts on each end. Approximately 1/4”
to 3/8” of slack per foot of drive chain is acceptable. Make
sure the chain does not drag on the ground, across the gate
rollers or the idler frame of the operator.
Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate
bracket for installer convenience.

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
VENT PLUG INSTALLATION
Gear reducers used in OSCO gate operators will have solid plugs installed prior to shipment in order to keep the oil inside from
spilling out during shipping. A vent plug has been provided to replace this plug during installation. This plug will look similar to
the ones shown below. Some models may have a vent plug with a breather pin. This pin should be removed after installing the
operator.
OR
TORQUE LIMITER ADJUSTMENTS
Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in good
working condition. One person should be able to move the gate by
hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and without binding throughout its travel. T orque limiters are set light at the factory and must be
adjusted during installation. Adjust the torque limiter tight enough to
keep it from slipping during normal operation.
To adjust the torque limiter in model GSLG-A
1. Loosen the setscrew in the adjustment nut.
2. To increase the output, turn the adustment nut clockwise one
flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
T o reduce the output, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise
one flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
3. Retighten the setscrew in the adjustment nut.

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
Power supply must be of correct voltage and phase.
Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
Keep clear of gate during operation.
All OSCO gate operators are supplied with a power disconnect switch to turn on and off the power supply available to the
operator. Incoming power should be brought into the operator and connected to the labeled pigtails in the disconnect box
following wiring specifications on page 4. A wiring connections print can be found on the inside cover of the operator.
Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The motor contains a thermal overload protector to protect from overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency operation. This overload will automatically reset after the motor cools down.
LIMIT NUT ADJUSTMENTS
The limit nuts are not preset at the factory and must be adjusted for the length of the gate the operator is installed on. The limit
switches are activated by two threaded nylon rotary limit nuts which are attached to a threaded shaft and driven by chain and
sprockets from the main drive shaft. Remove the cardboard filler before attempting to adjust the limit nuts.
With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position, and the power disconnect switch turned OFF, disconnect
the operator by using the manual disconnect lever. Instructions for the manual disconnect can be found in the individual operator
owner’s guides. Once the operator has been disconnected, manually move the gate by hand to within a foot of its fully open
position (the foot of distance is necessary to allow for coasting of the operator after the limit switch is tripped).
Once the gate is in this position, adjust the open limit nut until it activates the limit switch for open, LSO-1. Press down on the
detent plate and rotate the nut along the threaded shaft. Refer to the illustration below for additional details.
Once the open limit nut is set, repeat the above process for the close direction nut and the LSC-1 limit switch.
After finishing the initial limit nut adjustments, reposition the gate to approximately its center of travel. Re-engage the operator
and turn the power disconnect ON. Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN button on the three-button station. If the
gate begins to close instead of open, press the STOP button immediately . Find the dip switch block on the main control board
and switch the hand of operation (dip switch #4, see page 9) and try to open the gate again. Observe the gate as it runs through
a complete cycle in both directions, and adjust your limits again if necessary . Fine levels of adjustment can also be achieved by
adjusting a few teeth on the nut at a time. If the gate stops in midtravel, the open or close current sensor adjustment or the
maximum run timer may need adjustment (see page 11).

L.E.D.s
Auto Close Timer Adjustment: This 270-degree adjustable potentiometer will signal the operator to close automatically,
provided no open, reversing or obstruction signals are present from the fully-open position. This timer is adjustable from 0 to 124
seconds. This feature is turned on or off using dip switch #1.
Maximum Run Timer Adjustment: This 270-degree adjustable potentiometer will signal the operator to stop running once it
counts down, unless a limit switch is reached or an input is received first. Each time the motor starts, this timer will begin
counting. This timer is adjustable from 15 to 100 seconds. If the timer expires, the unit locks out and the emergency alarm
sounds.
Open Direction Current Sense Adjustment: This multiturn potentiometer is used to calibrate the built-in current sensing
feature for detection of obstructions while running in the open direction.
Close Direction Current Sense Adjustment: This multiturn potentiometer is used to calibrate the built in current sensing
feature for detection of obstructions while running in the closed direction.
Master/Slave Connection Block: This terminal block is used in conjunction with two operators to configure two gates to open
and close together.
Dip Switches:
# 1 This switch turns the auto close timer off/on.
# 2 This switch is used in conjunction with alarms and flashing lights that may be added to the operator. When the switch is
in the ON position, these devices will start approximately two seconds prior to the operator starting. In the OFF position,
the devices will only work while the operator is running.
# 3 This switch is used in conjunction with single-button controls and radio receivers. In the ON position, successive inputs
will cause signals in the order of OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP. In the OFF position, inputs will cause an OPEN signal
unless the gate is fully open, in which case it will signal CLOSE.
#4 This switch determines right-hand vs. left-hand behavior . When looking from inside the protected area toward the gate, the
side of the drive the operator is on determines its hand of operation. In the OFF position, the operator is set for right-hand.
# 5 When turned ON, this switch will allow a one-second delay for solenoid locks to unlock before the motor starts.
#6 In the ON position, this switch will disable the inherent DC brake in DC operators only. In addition, the R2 brake resistor
on the DC motor board must be cut from the board (refer to the picture above). In the OFF position, the DC brake will
function.
# 7 Not used at this time.
# 8 This switch is used to set Master/Slave configuration. Operators which are stand-alone or master units should be set to
OFF, while only slave units should have this switch set to ON.

This is typically used with a loop and loop detector to keep a large swing gate open
while vehicular traffic is passing through.
Depending on dip switch #2, these devices will either begin two seconds before the
operator starts, or only while the motor is running. (See page 9 for details.)
Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the side of the gate operator.
Do not adjust the circuit board current sensing feature too high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the
gate from falsely triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to operate. Do not defeat the
purpose of this function!

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
CURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTS
Because gates vary in construction and may have different force requirements in the open and close directions to move, the
OSCO control board has separate Multi-turn potentiometers for adjusting in both directions independently. The adjustment
should be set light enough to maintain minimal force (50-75 lbs.) should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate
moving under normal conditions without interruption.
Prior to adjusting the operator current sensing functions, make sure the gate moves freely in both directions. A badly aligned or
poorly maintained gate may cause false triggering of the current sensor. Refer to page 9 when following the instructions below .
A factory adjustment tool has been supplied to make these adjustments easier. This tool has been taped to the control box for
your convenience.
CLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT
When the gate operator leaves the factory, it has been preset for a relatively light gate function and will require additional
adjustment. Begin by starting the gate going closed. If the operator stops and reverses, turn the close direction potentiometer
(see page 9) one turn higher, press the ST OP button, and try again. Repeat this process until the gate no longer causes false
tripping of the current sensor. Note that each time the gate operator reverses, the STOP button must be pressed. Next, turn the
close direction potentiometer lower slowly while the operator is running the gate closed until the gate operator stops and
reverses again. From this point, turn the close direction potentiometer higher by 1 1/2 turns for all 1 15 V olt AC and 24 V olt DC
operators, and by 3/4 of a turn higher for all 230 Volt AC operators.
OPEN DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT
Repeat the same process with the open direction potentiometer while running the gate in the open direction. Once this is done,
run the gate through several complete cycles and make sure the gate does not false trip in either direction.
Multi-turn Potentiometer
Remember it is important not to set the adjustment
too high! Doing so will defeat the purpose of the current sensing as an obstruction detecting feature.
MAXIMUM RUN TIMER ADJUSTMENT
This adjustable potentiometer sets the maximum length of time the motor will run before shutting down. It should be configured
for the time it takes to run the gate fully open or closed, plus an additional 15 seconds. See page 9 for details.
AUTO CLOSE TIMER ADJUSTMENT
This adjustable potentiometer sets the length of time which elapses before the gate operator automatically closes the gate, from
the fully open position, provided no open, reversing, or obstruction signals are present. This feature can be turned on or off via dip
switch selection. See page 9 for details. Do not use the auto close timer without an appropriate reversing device
installed!
MASTER/SLAVE CONNECTION
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect master and slave operators. Y ou must use Belden 8760 T wisted
Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – OSCO part number 2500-1982, per foot). See page 9 for details of this connection, as
well as dip switch selection. Note: The SHIELD wire should be connected in both the master and slave operators. In addition, you
must run power to both the master and slave operators.

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR
INSTALLATION OF MASTER/SLAVE APPLICATIONS
When setting up Master/Slave gate operators, it is best to make adjustments and run each operator individually . To do this,
simply:
a. Set Dip Switch #4 to proper hand of operation (right-hand or left-hand)
b. Set Dip Switch #8 as Master (off)
Run each operator making current sensing adjustments as necessary , as indicated on the Control Board Adjustments page of
this installation guide. When both operators have been adjusted, turn power off, then turn on Dip Switch #8 in the operator
chosen as the Slave.
The timer to close and radio/single button behavior are set in the Master operator.
The following selections are set individually:
Current Sensing
Maximum Run Timer
One-Second Lock Release
Three-Second Pre-Start Warning
Right/Left-Hand Selections

GSLG-A OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
TROUBLESHOOTING
Operator fails to start:
A. If the operator has been running a large number of cycles,
the motor may have gotten hot and tripped the overload.
Allow the motor to cool down and the overload will reset
automatically.
B. Make sure you have power at the master distribution panel
and that the power has not been turned off.
C. The secondary fuse on the control board may have blown.
Replace the fuse (refer to control box parts list on page 26
for part number information).
Motor operates, but gate does not move:
A. In operators with torque limiters and friction pad clutches,
check for signs of slipping. Y ou can mark the sprocket and
clutch with a yellow or white grease pen and watch for the
lines to move apart if slipping is taking place. Adjust the
torque limiter tighter if this is the problem.
B. Check for broken chain or worn belts.
C. Check all setscrews on pulleys and sprockets and tighten
them if necessary, and check for keys which may have
fallen loose from keyways.
Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal:
A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding
throughout its entire travel.
B. Check the drive chain for obstructions (if the operator has
one).
C. If the operator has an internal brake mechanism, make
sure it is releasing.
Limit switch getting out of time:
A. Check for proper tension on all limit chains to be sure there
is no jumping taking place. Mark one tooth and its corre-
sponding link and run the gate. If the marks have moved,
the chain is skipping.
B. Check the setscrews in limit cams and limit sprockets for
tightness. In rotary limit boxes, check the rotary limit nut
for sloppiness or stripped threads. Replace if necessary .
C. Check the chain tension along the output sprocket and
idlers. Mark the chain and one tooth of the sprocket as
described above and run the gate. Check for jumping.
Gate stopping part way open or closed
(but no visible obstruction):
A. The control board may have received a false obstruction
input triggered by current sensing set too low. Make sure
the gate moves freely through its entire travel before adjusting the current sensing.
B. The maximum run timer may have counted down and ex-
pired. This can be caused by having the timer set too low,
if a chain or belt is broken, or if a sprocket or pulley is
slipping. When the timer expires, the gate stops and an
alarm will sound.
C. An obstruction signal from an accessory wired to the ob-
struction input may have triggered falsely . Check the control board for lit L.E.D. indicators for any of the following
inputs: safety, shadow, open obstruction, close obstruction, stop, etc. If any are lit when the operator should be
running, remove all devices hooked to that function and
hook them up one at a time and try to run the operator until
the problem device is found. Refer to page 12 for details on
the control board indicators.
Gate staying open with automatic system:
A. If there are vehicle detectors in your machine which are set
up for reverse, one of your loops or loop detectors may be
sending a false signal. Disconnect the wire harness and
try running the operator.
B. An opening or reversing device may be stuck or malfunc-
tioning. Try disconnecting these devices and hook them
back up one at a time and try running the operator until the
malfunctioning device is found.
C. Make sure the close limit switch isn’t activated. If it is, the
operator will think the gate is already closed.
HOW TO ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use the part numbers listed on the following pages. Contact your local OSCO dealer or distributor to order parts.
1. Supply the model number and serial number of your operator .
2. Specify the quantity of pieces needed and order by part number and name of part.
3. State whether to ship by freight, truck, parcel post, UPS or air express.
4. State whether transportation charges are to be prepaid or collect.
5. Specify name and address of person or company to whom parts are to be shipped.
6. Specify name and address of person or company to whom invoice is to be sent.

4. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMA TION
NATURE OF HAZARD:
INHALATION: Negligible hazard at normal temperatures (up to 38 deg. C). Elevated
temperatures or mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes which may be
irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
EYE CONTACT: Slightly irritating, but will not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT: Low toxicity. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin.
INGESTION: Low toxicity.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Based on animal testing data from similar materials and
products, the acute toxicity of this product is expected to be:
Oral: LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (rat)
Dermal: LD50 > 3160 mg/kg (rabbit)
Inhalation: LC50 > 5000 mg/m3 (rat)
OCCUPA TIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT:
ACGIH recommends: For oil mists, 5 mg/m3. Local regulated limits may vary.
5. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Vapour pressure of this material is low and as such inhalation under
normal conditions is usually not a problem. If overexposed to oil mist, remove from
further exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at
rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If
irritation persists, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. Remove
severely contaminated clothing (including shoes) and launder before reuse. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt
medical attention.
6. PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies,
depending upon conditions of use. In open systems where contact is likely, wear
safety goggles, chemical-resistant overalls, and chemically impervious gloves.
Where only incidental contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side shields. No other
special precautions are necessary provided skin/eye contact is avoided. Where
concentrations in air may exceed the occupational exposure limits given in Section 4
and where engineering, work practices or other means of exposure reduction are not
adequate, approved respirators may be necessary to prevent overexposure by
inhalation.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to
control emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a
fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
• Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
• Keep clear of gate during operation.
GENERAL:
OSCO gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating conditions, will
require only minimal maintenance. T o ensure that your unit is ready for operation at all times--and to preclude serious damage
or failure--inspect the unit systematically . Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as recommended.
LUBRICA TION:
Bearings. For models which have pillow block style bearings with greaseable fittings, lubricate at least twice a year with a
lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2 rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not require additional
lubrication.
Motor. Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after several years of
operation, bearings should be replaced by a motor repair company , or the motor should be replaced if necessary .
Drive Chain and Sprocket (slide gate models only). The main drive chain and sprockets should be inspected for wear,
cleaned, and wiped down with a lightly oiled rag every six months.
Swing Gate Arm (swing gate models only). Check all bolts for proper tension and tighten if necessary. Make sure the arm
folds overextends itself slightly against the overtravel stop to reduce the chance that the gate can be backdriven open. Adjust the
close limit slightly if additional travel is required. Lightly lubricate all pivot points with a light machine oil.
Barrier Gate Arm (barrier gate models only). Check all bolts for proper tension and tighten if necessary . If the arm has been
warped or damaged, replace as necessary .
ADDITIONAL SIX MONTH PREVENT ATIVE MAINTENANCE:
1. For operators which utilize torque limiting clutches, check
for proper tightness. If there appears to be dust from wear
on the pads, inspect the pads and replace if necessary . If
the clutch cannot be adjusted tightly enough to move the
gate without slipping, the pads must be replaced.
2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace
as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and tighten
if necessary .
3. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain and
sprockets for wear and replace if necessary. Check for
proper tension and alignment, and adjust if required. Check
all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if required.
4. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts,
etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit switch
assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a light
coating of dry lubricant.
5. For operators with magnetic brakes, check for proper adjustment. Brake disc must run free when the brake is engaged. For brake assemblies other than C-face style, the
brake should be adjusted so that the solenoid plunger throw
is between 3/8” to 1/2”. Too much throw will damage the
solenoid. If the solenoid emits a loud buzzing sound
when the motor is run, the brake must be adjusted.
6. In operators which have a disconnect handle, inspect disconnect handle for proper function and lubricate if necessary . Use a lithium based grease on all moving parts.
7. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten
as necessary .
8. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect all
contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check photoeyes for proper alignment and function.
9. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when finished
with inspection and maintenance.
10.Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs intact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced, contact OSCO. Be sure there are no control stations mounted
within reach of the gate. Review safety literature with the
customer and advise them to remove any such stations
found.
For slide and swing gate operators, you must inspect
the gate for proper operation. The gate should move
easily without binding through its entire travel. If the
gate does bind, adjust or fix as required. Failure to
keep the gate in good working condition will have
adverse effects on the operator.

3. The installer has installed one or more contact or non-contact obstruction sensing devices, in
compliance with UL325 requirements for this installation.
4. The slide gate has been screened or secured from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 48
inches above ground to prevent a 2 1/4-inch sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers when the gate
is in the open and closed positions. Picket gates which have spacings less than 2 1/4 inches
apart to the minimum height requirement are also acceptable.
5. Roller covers have been installed on cantilever gates.
6. If pedestrian traffic is expected, a separate pedestrian gate has been installed, a minimum of
seven feet from the gate. The customer has been informed that all pedestrian traffic must
use the pedestrian gate.
7. Warning signs have been installed on each side of the gate in highly visible locations. The
customer has been informed that these signs must remain at all times.
8. There are no controls installed on the gate operator , or within seven feet of the gate.
9. The installer has properly adjusted the obstruction sensing feature and has tested the gate to
make sure that the gate stops and reverses a short distance with minimal resistance applied
(40 lbs. on a swing gate at the end of the gate, 75 lbs. on a slide gate)
