  GTO 2002XLS Instruction Manual © 01.12.12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  7.  To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page 

iii). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the GTO 

Service Department.

  8.  Disconnect the operator 

ONLY

 when the power is 

TURNED OFF 

and the gate is 

NOT 

moving.

  9.  Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.
  10.  Distribute and discuss copies of the 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

section of this manual with all 

persons authorized to use your gate. 

 11.

 IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be around the gate 

and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the 

property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator, provide a copy of these safety instructions to 

the new owner. 

 

  Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by downloading one from the GTO web site 

(www.gtoaccess.com), by contacting Gates That Open, LLC., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee, Florida 
32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a duplicate copy. One will be provided to you free of charge.

Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Install Warning Signs

Warning signs

 

alert people of automatic gate operation and are 

required 

when installing the GTO Gate Operator.  The 

Warning Signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed 
for pedestrian traffic. We recommend using the 

GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock

 

[FM145] for controlled access.

Entrapment Protection

GTO’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, 

may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily 

injury in some circumstances. 

For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), 

which stop and reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against 

entrapment.
