IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers have
an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate
operator systems.   Keep in mind that the gate operator 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 system designer, installer, and consumer.
Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained
in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature.  They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design,
installation, 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.

The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this

warning symbol.

The

symbol identifies the conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury,

or death.

Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system,  it is the responsibility
of the designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure the total system is safe for its intended use.  Bypassing safety
devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable.

FOR THE GTO/PRO SL-1000/2000 

AND

 GTO/PRO SL-1000B/2000B

 AUTOMATIC SLIDE GATE OPERATORS

Quick Release Pin

Chain Bracket

TO MANUALLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE GATE, FOLLOW
THE PROCEDURE BELOW:

CAUTION: Disconnect the

operator chain ONLY when the
gate is NOT moving.

1.  Lift the quick release pins UP, then
     pull them OUT of the chain brackets
     (see illustration).
2.  Lay the chain down and manually slide
     the gate to the desired position.

To prevent unauthorized removal of the
quick release pins, install Master

®

 

pin

locks (see accessory catalog) above the
quick release pins in both chain brackets.
