Important Safety Information

Important Safety Information

Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing Mighty Mule Automatic Gate Operators. A 
minimum of two WARNING SIGNS must be installed in the area of the gate. Each sign is to be visible by persons located on the side 
of the gate on which the placard is installed.
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access 
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not 
come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
We recommend using the Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the Nortek Security and Control Sales Department at 800-543-4283) 
for controlled access.

INSTALLING WARNING SIGNS AND PEDESTRIAN GATES

Warning Signs

The gate operator is provided with two safety warning signs. 
The signs 

MUST

 be installed on the front and back of the gate where they will be visible in the area of 

the gate.
Permanently secure each warning sign to the gate.
Immediately replace a damaged, eligible or missing warning sign.
Call Customer Service at 800-543-4283 for a free replacement.

!

These warning labels should be found at the locations specified below. If any of them are missing, immediately contact 
Nortek Security and Control for replacements.
