Question asked: We installed two 1601-381 barrier arm openers that we purchased here in 2022 at a site we service. They have hit the arms so many times that they really need to do something. I was looking at the 1601-295 breakaway kit. It appears that they only work with octagonal arms? The current setup uses 1601-516 arms and we have since purchased spares for them. Is it true that these are not compatible? If so, what would be the appropriate replacement?
Thank you.

Per the DoorKing book, you can use the 1601-295 with the 1601-516.
