Please Read This First!

Thank you for purchasing a Mighty Mule® E-Z

Gate Opener—GTO's "do-it-yourself" automatic

gate opener! When correctly installed and properly

used, your Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate Opener will give

you many years of reliable service. Please read the

following information and watch the enclosed video to

ensure you have the correct system for your particular

needs. Furthermore, this manual and the DVD will

enable you to properly install your Mighty Mule® E-Z

Gate Opener.

The Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate Opener is designed

for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate

(gates that open into the property). By purchasing

an accessory bracket, the Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate

Opener can accommodate a push-to-open single leaf

gate (gates that open out from the property). The gate

must not exceed 18 feet in length and weigh more than

350 pounds or exceed 8 feet in length and weigh more

than 850 pounds (please see Technical Specifications

on page 9). The Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate Opener can

be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube,

and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates

is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high

resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough,

the opener will obstruct and stop.

The Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate Opener accommodates

extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push

buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control

products. These optional accessories (see the enclosed

Mighty Mule® Accessory Catalog) are available

at most stores. Your store should be able to special

order any accessory not in stock. If your store cannot

special order accessories, please call the GTO Sales

Department (800-543-GATE).

The Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate Opener features

adjustable obstruction sensing. This safety feature

makes the gate stop and reverse direction within 2

seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction.

MIN is the factory setting; meaning the gate will exert

the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops

and reverses direction.

The Mighty Mule® E-Z Gate Opener also has an

adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the

fully open position, it can be set to remain open up to

120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the

transmitter button at any time after the gate opens fully

will cause it to close immediately. OFF is the factory

setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press

the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again.

PLEASE NOTE—If your application requires any of

the following:

• Swing gates longer than 18 feet or weighing

more than 850 pounds

• Slide gates

• Heavy duty or commercial uses

• Professional installation
