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 an activated 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
Required Safety Precautions for Gates Install Warning Signs Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the GTO® Access Systems Gate Opener. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate. We recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the GTO Sales Department) for controlled access. -

Page 14: Technical Specifications
• The system is powered by two 12 Vdc 7.0 Ah, rechargable acid batteries. • Battery charge is maintained by a 120 Vac, 18 Vac output transformer [rectified to 14.5 Vdc (40 VA) through the GTO control board] or by optional GTO Solar Panels [the panel should generate minimum of 5 W at 300 mA]. A diode on the control board prevents battery discharge. -
Page 15: Installation Overview
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 single gate. Mounting the opener on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 39 if you intend to mount the opener on a column. -
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 for safety reasons). The curved design of the post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts. -
