IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
II. During Installation
1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an opener on the outside of the
gate where the public has access to it.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.
3. Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional
protection against entrapment.
4. If push buttons or keypads are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from
any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be
tempted to reach through the gate to activate the gate opener.
5. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people,
pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

III. After Installation
1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of auto matic gate operation. It
is your responsibility to post 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 GTO for free replacements.
2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in
contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary.
3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.
4. Do not attempt to “beat the gate” (drive through) while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.
5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate.
Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep ALL
gate controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do
not have access to them.
6. KEEP GATE AND GATE OPENER PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to opener OFF before
performing any maintenance. Regularly grease the gate hinges. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and
apply silicone spray to it at least once per month.
