IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Entrapment Protection
GTO’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in
some circumstances. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and
reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment.
Required Safety Precautions for Gates
Warning Signs
The warning signs (at right) must
be installed on both sides of the
gates (see page 7 for details).
Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the GTO® gate opener.
Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate. We recommend
using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the GTO Sales Department at 1-800-543-4283) for controlled access.
