operating mechanism. 

 
1. 

Read the instructions and review the drawings thoroughly.  If you do not 
understand any part of these instructions, please contact the manufacturer. 

 
2. 

Check the anchor bolt locations and prepare the foundation for the barrier.  Set the 
barrier operator  and be sure to seal the bottom with duct seal.  Housing must be 
level.  Anchor bolts must be tightened evenly.

Make sure the local power supply for the motor and control circuit are correct. 
*Reference the enclosed electrical drawing in the back of the handbook. 

 
IMPORTANT:  All conduit must be sealed and the housing grounded. 
 
4. 

Using the hand crank, turn the drive crank 45 degrees noting rotation of the drive 
crank should be clockwise. 

 
5. 

Open main disconnect switch (S1) and connect the power.  Connect the control 
circuit if separate.  If power is supplied from the motor circuit, check the 
connections at the terminals. 

 
NOTE:

"Bump" test barrier operator for correct motor rotation. 

The drive cranks should rotate upwards toward roadway to raise 
barrier arm (viewing  barrier operator from either drive crank side of 
the housing).

cycles.  Leave the barrier operator in the closed to traffic position and open the
