Because automatic gate openers produce high levels of 

force, consumers need to know the potential hazards 

associated with improperly designed, installed, and 

maintained automated gate opener systems. 

Keep in 

mind that the gate opener 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 consumer. Because there are many 

possible applications of the gate opener, the safety 

precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot

1. Turn control box power switch OFF.
2.  Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing from both 

the front or rear mounting points.

3. Remove the opener from the mounts.

The gate can be opened and closed manually
when the opener is disconnected.

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. 

Precautions and warnings in this manual are 

identified with this warning symbol. The symbol 

identifies conditions that can result in damage to the 

opener or its components, serious injury, or death.

Manually Opening and Closing Gate

Because GTO automatic gate openers are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the 

responsibility of the consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

CAUTION: The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate opener is removed from 

the gate. ONLY disconnect the opener when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is 

NOT moving.

 

NOTE:

 Substitute a

 Pin Lock (FM133)

 for the clevis pin on the front mount 

of the gate opener to prevent unauthorized removal of the opener from the gate 

(see accessory catalog)
