  • Page 7 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.

    7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the GTO Service Department.
  • Page 9: Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment

    A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions. You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact” means of entrapment protection.
