Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Install Warning Signs
Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the Mighty Mule 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.

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 augmented protection against entrapment.
Warning Signs
The warning signs (at right) must
be installed on both sides of the
gate (see page 6 for details).
