E-Z GATE OPENERS

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!

Thank you for purchasing a Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener—GTO's "do-it-yourself" automatic gate opener! When correctly installed and properly used, your Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information and watch the enclosed video to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. Furthermore, this manual and the video will enable you to properly install your Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener.

The Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener is designed for installation on a pull-to-open dual gate leafs (gates that open into the property). By purchasing an accessory bracket (FM148), the Mighty Mule®

352 E-Z Gate Opener can accommodate a push-to-open dual gate leafs (gates that open out from the property). The gates must not exceed 8 feet and 550 pounds or exceed 16 feet and 150 pounds (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The Mighty Mule® 352 EZ Gate Opener can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates.

Use on solid (surface) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the opener will obstruct and stop, blow fuses, or may damage the equipment.

The Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories (see the enclosed Mighty Mule® Accessory Catalog) are available at most stores. Your store should be able to special order any accessory not in stock. If your store cannot special order accessories, please call the GTO Sales Department (800-543-GATE).

The Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener features adjustable obstruction sensing. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. MIN is the factory setting; meaning the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.

The Mighty Mule® 352 E-Z Gate Opener also has an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully open position, it can be set to remain open up to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately. OFF is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again.
