IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 INSTALLA-
TION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS
PRODUCT.

The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this

warning symbol. The symbol identifies condi-

tions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death.

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 that the total system is safe for its intended use.
