Page 4: Please Read This First
The GPX-SL25 operator is designed for installation on a slide-to-open single leaf gate. The gate must not exceed 24 feet in length nor weigh more than 650 pounds (please see Technical Specifications on page 2). The GPX-SL25 operator can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link and wrought iron gates. -
Page 5: Disconnecting The Operator
Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the installer/consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. -
Page 6: Important Safety Instructions
5. Do not activate your gate operator 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 operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate. rev 03.21.13 GPX-SL25 Instruction Manual... -

Page 8: Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment
The GPX-SL25 utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GPX-SL25 has provisions for the connection of Type B1 or B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired. - Page 9 Entrapment Protection GTO’s internal obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edges MUST be installed. Furthermore, a pedestrian gate must be installed if walk-through traffic is expected near the gate.
