Each person who assembles, installs, uses, or maintains this product should read the entire manual in advance

sound judgment at all times.

situations.

MODERATE injury.

might damage the product.

Electrocution might result if any part of the gate contacts electrified wires. Reduce the likelihood of

electrocution by applying common sense:

 DO NOT contact electrified wires with any part of this device.
 DO NOT use or store the product where contact with electrified wires is likely.
 Always inspect the usage area before using the product & implement precautions that account for electrical hazards.

If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the operator and/or bystanders might sustain serious

personal injuries. To reduce the likelihood of injury:

 DO NOT misuse the gate. Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, installing,
using or servicing the product is a misuse of the product. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of

proper use and maintenance procedures when necessary.

 DO NOT apply weight or suspend loads from the gate. The gate is designed to act solely as a barrier.
 When extending and retracting the fence, only apply force to (push or pull) the fence posts. Keep hands, fingers,

clothing, etc. away from pinch points.
 Properly install the portable gate according to the instructions on p. 3. If the gate is inadequately anchored to the walls
its effectiveness as a barrier will be diminished.
 DO NOT modify—including disassembling and reassembling--the portable gate in any way UNLESS you firs t obtain
written approval from Vestil. Unauthorized modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 4) and might
make the Drum-Grab unsafe to use.

Proper use, maintenance, and storage are essential for this product to function properly.

o Keep the product clean & dry.
o Periodically lubricate moving parts.
