IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE GTO/PRO
AUTOMATIC SLIDE GATE OPERATORS
Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers have an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate operator systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety.
This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer, and consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS,
WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this 
warning symbol.
The 
symbol identifies the conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death.
Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure the total system is safe for its intended use. Bypassing safety devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable.
TO MANUALLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE GATE, FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE BELOW:
CAUTION: Disconnect the operator chain ONLY when the gate is NOT moving.
1.Lift the quick release pins UP, then pull them OUT of the chain brackets (see illustration).
2.Lay the chain down and manually slide the gate to the desired position.
To prevent unauthorized removal of the quick release pins, install pin locks (see accessory catalog) above the quick release pins in both chain brackets.
