IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
II. During Installation
1. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the outside of
the gate where the public has access to it.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.
3. Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide
additional protection against entrapment.
4. If push buttons or keypads are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any
moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to
reach through the gate to activate the gate operator.
5. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people,
pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.
III. After Installation
1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of auto matic 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” (drive through) 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 ALL
gate controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do
not have access to them.
6. KEEP GATE AND GATE Operator PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to operator OFF before
performing any maintenance. Regularly grease the gate hinges. Apply silicone spray to a soft, dry cloth and clean
the push-pull tube at least once a month.
