IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Consumer/End User
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS with all persons authorized to use
your gate.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Your automatic gate is not for pedestrian use. If pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate, a walk-through gate
must be installed for this purpose (see page 6).
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. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located far enough from it
(at least 10 feet) so the gate cannot be touched while it is in operation. Do not operate any control without watching
the movement of the gate.
7. 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.
8. It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted 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 your
installer or GTO for replacements.
9. If electric safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors) have been installed (see page 6) they should be tested
monthly for proper function.
10. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone
spray to it at least once per month.
11. Have your gate operator tested monthly and serviced regularly by an experienced technician. The gate MUST stop
and reverse on contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. If these functions are
observed to operate improperly, discontinue use and have operator serviced immediately.
12. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must receive detailed instructions on disconnecting the operator for manual
gate operation (see page 1). If you feel you have not received full and proper instructions, contact your installer.
13. Disconnect the operator ONLY when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.
