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.
