IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For The Consumer/End User
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with
all persons authorized to use your gate.
3.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4.
Your automatic gate is not for pedestrian use. If pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate, a walk-through
gate must be installed for this purpose (see page 6).
5.
Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep
the remote controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized
users cannot access them.
6.
If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located far enough
from it (at least 10 feet) so the gate cannot be touched while it is in operation. Do not operate any control
without watching the movement of the gate.
7.
Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of
people, pets, or other obstructions.
8.
It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any
of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact
your installer or GTO for replacements.
9.
If electric safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors) have been installed (see page 6) they should be tested
monthly for proper function.
10.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply
silicone spray to it at least once per month.
11.
Test your gate operator monthly and service it regularly. The gate MUST stop and reverse on contact with
an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. If these functions are observed to operate
improperly, discontinue use and have the operator serviced immediately.
12.
To operate this equipment safely, YOU must receive detailed instructions on disconnecting the operator for
manual gate operation (see page 1). If you feel you have not received full and proper instructions, contact your
installer.
13.
Disconnect the operator only when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.
14.
