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

Service Department.

  8.  Disconnect the opener

NOT 

moving.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 opener are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the 

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

new owner.

Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Install Warning Signs

Warning signs

 

alert people of automatic gate operation and are 

required 

when installing the E-Z Gate Opener.  The 

Warning signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed 

if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate. 

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.
