IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Install Warning Signs

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. 

Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Warning Signs

The warning signs (

at right

) must

be installed on both sides of the
gate (

see page 7 for details

).

Warning signs

 alert people of automatic gate operation and are 

required

 when installing the GTO/PRO® 4000XL Automatic 

Gate Operator.  Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate.  
We recommend using the 

GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock

 (

Call the GTO Sales Department

) for controlled access. 

1. KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time.

2. Do not allow children to operate gate or 

play in gate area.

3. This gate is for vehicles only. Pedestrians

must use a separate entrance.

Moving Gate Can Cause

Injury Or Death
