“OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter button (or keypad, etc.) again. Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or (850) 575-0176 for more information about our GTO/ACCESS SYSTEMS professional line of gate operators and accessories. -
Page 5: Important Safety Instructions
Because GTO automatic gate openers are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. -
Page 6: Important Safety Instructions For The Consumer
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For The Consumer WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion. - Page 7 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation: Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and the fence post. Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post. Zone 3 – the path of the gate. Zone 4 –...
- Page 8 If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.

Page 9: Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A) The GTO® Gate Opener is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these openers are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing. -
Page 10: Required Safety Precautions For Gates
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. -

Installation Overview Pull-to-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property) The diagram shown below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and dual gates. Mounting the openers on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 38 if you intend to mount the openers on columns. -
Page 16: Installation Of The Mounting Hardware
Installation of Mounting Hardware The position of the post bracket determines the leverage and efficiency of the opener. The post bracket position also sets the clearance between the opener and gate in the open and closed positions (minimum 2 inches). The curved design of the post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts. -
