Important Safety Information

Because automatic gate operators produce high levels

of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards

associated with improperly designed, installed, and

maintained automated gate operator systems. Keep in

mind that the gate operator is just one component

of the total gate operating system. Each component

must work in unison to provide the end user with

convenience, security, and safety.

This manual contains various safety precautions and

warnings for the installer and end user. Because there

are many possible applications of the gate operator,

the safety precautions and warnings contained in

Because Mighty Mule automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the

responsibility of the installer and end user to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate operator is removed from the gate. ONLY disconnect

the operator when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

Disconnecting the Operator

1. Turn control box power switch OFF.

2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing from either the

front or rear mounting point.

3. Remove the operator from the mount.

The gate can be opened and closed manually when the operator is

disconnected.

NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock for the clevis pin on the front mount

of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of the operator

from the gate (see accessory pages in back of this book).
