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 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.
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.
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.

OFF
.
2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and
bushing from the front mounting point.

turn power to the opener OFF.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER
allow opener arm to hang by the
front mount - it will break from the arm weight.
