Installation Instructions
Preparation
The gate needs to be installed on a smooth and
level surface that will allow the system to be
opened and closed.
When installing the gate, it is good practise to
start from one end and work towards the other,
but always check total length measurements
before anchoring. It is good practice to fully
install the gate before anchoring to ensure
correct fit and alignment.
To speed up installation time, it is
recommended that as many BarrierGuard 800
Gate sections as possible, are pre-assembled
before delivery to site. The quantity that can be
pre-assembled is usually determined by the size
of the vehicle used to deliver to site.
Before installing a BarrierGuard 800 Gate,
ensure that all components required for the
system are readily available and have been
identified. BarrierGuard 800 Gate is a highly
engineered safety device made up of relatively
small number of parts. Before starting
installation ensure that you are familiar with the
design of the system.
The BarrierGuard 800 Gate ground conditions
must meet or exceed the design specification.
Ensure that the area where the BarrierGuard
800 Gate is to be installed has enough space to
work in and is flat enough so that the ground
conditions will not impede installation. Minor
site grading may be required.
