Important Safety Information

7

Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the Mighty Mule® 500
Automatic Gate Operator. 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 800-543-4283)

for controlled access.

Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Install Warning Signs

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

.

Entrapment Protection

Warning Signs

The warning signs (at right) must be installed on both
sides of the gate (see next page for details).
