Required Safety Precautions for Gates
Install Warning Signs
Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the Mighty Mule Gate Opener.
The warning signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be
installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate.
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.
