Navigational Notes

This lock has an automatic reset where the guillotine gates will open and close to maintain the level in the lode. Do not enter if red light flashing. Read the instructions carefully. 60 X 10 can use the lock easily.

The upstream gate may be partially raised (automated as above), if so it must be fully lowered before the downstream gate can be raised. There are separate control panels at each gate (care needed when crossing the road from one to the other).
