IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

III.After Installation

1.Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic­ gate operation. It is your responsibility to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements.

2.The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary.

3.Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.

4.Do not attempt to "beat the gate" while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.

5.Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them.

6.KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to opener OFF before performing any maintenance. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone spray to it at least once per month.

7.Service the gate and gate opener regularly. Grease hinges, spray push pull tube with high quality silicon spray.

8.To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the opener for manual gate operation

(see page 1). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the opener, contact the GTO Service Department.

10.Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.

11.Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with all persons authorized to use your gate.

12.IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is

using or will be around the gate and gate opener are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the gate opener or sell the gate opener, provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner.
