.....................................................................................................................................Back Cover Important Safety Instructions SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GTO/PRO SWING GATE OPERATORS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers have an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate operator systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety. This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer, and consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT. The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with these This This or death. warning symbols. symbol identifies the conditions that can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock. symbol identifies the conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure the total system is safe for its intended use. Bypassing safety devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable. Use the GTO FOOT PEDAL RELEASE (Patented) to Manually Operate the Gate CAUTION: NEVER attempt to operate the foot pedal while the gate is in motion. DO NOT operate the gate with a transmitter or other activation device while the foot pedal is in use. NOTE: If the gate is fully closed when the foot pedal release is activated, you may need to manually unlock the arm at the knuckle joint. Pull the gate arm as shown (at right) to begin opening the gate. Operator Knuckle Joint To disengage the operator: Place foot on pedal, then step down and push pedal to the right until it stops against the operator frame. Lift foot from pedal. This procedure disengages the lower spline from the upper spline and allows the gate to be opened and closed manually. Pull gate arm here to begin opening the gate Foot Pedal Release To re-engage the operator: The limit switches will not have to be reset if this procedure is followed. You MUST return the gate to the position where the foot pedal release was engaged before activating the operator. When the gate is stationary, place foot on pedal. Step down and push foot pedal to the left until it stops against operator frame. Lift foot from pedal. Move the gate back and forth until you hear the splines lock together. This procedure re-engages the lower and upper splines and allows the gate operator to drive the gate. The foot pedal release can be secured with a Master® pin lock (accessory available from your GTO dealer). 1 Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the System Designer WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. 2. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. This operator is intended for use only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate walkthrough gate (see Entrapment Protection illustration on page 6). 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. The gate must be installed in a location that ensures adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas. 3. 4. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the Installer WARNING­To reduce the risk of injury or death: I. Before Installation 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. 3. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, and its frequency of use. Make sure that the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate ...
