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

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.
