1.3. Preliminary checks

1.3.1. Installation environment

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 motori-
sation 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 structures supporting the gate allow the motorisation
to be fixed securely. Strengthen these if necessary.
• the gate can be opened and closed properly using a force
of less than 150 N.

1.4. Risk prevention

WARNING
Risk prevention - motorisation of a sliding gate for
residential use
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping)
between the motorised section and the surrounding fixed
sections created by the opening of the motorised section
are avoided or indicated on the installation.
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels near to any
fixed control devices, and so that they are extremely vis-
ible to the user.
