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 conditions 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.
To Manually Open and Close the Gate,
Follow the Procedure Below:
Disconnecting the Operator
1. Turn control box OFF.
2. Remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from
front mount.
3. Pull front mount away from gate bracket.
The gate can be opened and closed manually
when the gate operator is disconnected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGNER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. This operator is intended for use only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate walk-through
gate (see Entrapment Protection illustration on page 6).
3. 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.
4. The gate must be installed in a location that provides 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.
FOR THE INSTALLER
WARNING–To reduce the risk of injury or death:
I. Before Installation
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, and its frequency of use.
3. Make sure 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 and will
enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system.
4. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to manually open
and close the gate by disconnecting the operator (see page 1).
5. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (see page 6). NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
II. During Installation
1. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the outside of
the gate where the public has access to it. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.
3. Installation of additional safety equipment such as safety edges (or photoelectric sensors) is suggested for
augmented protection against entrapment (see page 6).
4. Determine the best obstruction sensing setting for this installation. The gate MUST stop and reverse on contact with
an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel,
retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury
or death.
5. Mount access controls away from the gate (minimum distance is 10 feet). The user must have full view of the gate
but be unable to touch it while operating the controls.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.
2
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
III. After Installation
1. Review ALL safety instructions with the consumer/end user. Explain the basic operation and safety systems of the
entire gate operator system, including disconnecting the operator for manual operation of the gate.
2. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert public of automatic gate operation. Take a
photo of warning signs installed on gate. Record the date of the photo for your reference.
3. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Leave a copy of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with the
consumer/end user.

Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment
As specified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have provisions for, or be
supplied with, at least one independent primary and one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. GTO
gate operators utilize Type A, an inherent entrapment sensing system, as the primary type of entrapment protection. The
GTO/PRO 2000 series gate operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1 and B2 protection to be used as a
secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.
1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [h]):
A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.
B. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate
is still moving.
C. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the
perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
2. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]):
A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post mounted both inside and
outside of a vehicular swing gate system.
B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor
and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building
structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended
end-use conditions.
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The GTO/PRO 2000 series gate operators are designed to stop and reverse for 2 seconds when the gate comes in
contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. Additionally, these operators are
equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will function if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing.
This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes or until the operator receives an intended signal (e.g., a transmitter
signal) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Consumer/End User
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS with all persons authorized to use
your gate.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Your automatic gate is not for pedestrian use. If pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate, a walk-through gate
must be installed for this purpose (see page 6).
5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users
do not have access to them.
6. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located far enough from it
(at least 10 feet) so the gate cannot be touched while it is in operation. Do not operate any control without watching
the movement of the gate.
7. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people,
pets, or other obstructions.
8. It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of
these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact your
installer or GTO for replacements.
9. If electric safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors) have been installed (see page 6) they should be tested
monthly for proper function.
10. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone
spray to it at least once per month.
11. Have your gate operator tested monthly and serviced regularly by an experienced technician. The gate MUST stop
and reverse on contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. If these functions are
observed to operate improperly, discontinue use and have operator serviced immediately.
12. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must receive detailed instructions on disconnecting the operator for manual
gate operation (see page 1). If you feel you have not received full and proper instructions, contact your installer.
13. Disconnect the operator ONLY when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.
14. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Required Safety Precautions for Swing Gates
Install Warning Signs
Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the GTO/PRO 2000 series gate
operator. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicle gate. We
recommend the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog) for controlled access.

OTHER MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED BEFORE YOU START THE INSTALLATION:
Depending on the type of gate and fence post, you may need some additional materials/hardware.
Some of these items can be found in the GTO/PRO Accessory Catalog.
• All gates will need a stop post in the open position. This post is not provided. See page 16,
Installation of Open and Closed Position Stops for more information.
• Low voltage wire may be needed. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer
power supply and the control box. See page 19, Powering the System and the Accessory Catalog
for wire and solar charging panels.
• If the gate is more than 1000' away from an AC power source you will need to use at least one GTO
Solar Panel to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.
• The diameter of the fence post should be at least 8" (round) or 6" (square) in order to mount the
post bracket (see page 12). An optional 4” bracket can be used with 4” post, and mounting bracket
adapters must be used with 4" and 6" round posts. (See Accessory Catalog).
• Depending upon the diameter of the fence post, you may need longer carriage bolts than those
provided. Bolts should be at least 1" longer than the diameter of the fence post (see page 12).
• If using thin wall tube or panel gates, see page 14 for recommended reinforcement materials.
•A horizontal or vertical cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the operator to
the gate. See page 11.

Preparing the Gate
Step 1:
The gate must be in proper working order, plumb, level and swinging freely on its hinges. Do not use wheels on gate. The
gate must move smoothly and evenly throughout its swing, without binding or dragging on the ground. Gates over 250 lb.
should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.
Step 2:
The fence post must be strongly secured in the ground with
concrete so it will not twist or flex when the operator is
powered. It is important to position the operator near the
midline of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and
flexing. The addition of a horizontal or vertical cross
member may be necessary (if one is not already in place)
to provide a stable area to which the gate bracket can be
secured.
Horizontal Cross Member
Vertical Cross Member
For the operator to perform properly, Steps 1 & 2 must
be complete before you go any further with the installation.
11
Installing The Post Bracket Assembly
The position of the post bracket determines the leverage of
the operator and the clearance between the operator and the
gate.
The post bracket is designed to work on a flat fence post.
Fence posts must be at least 6” square in order to mount
the post bracket.
NOTE: The best method of attaching the post bracket to
metal post is welding. Round wood posts (no smaller than
8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for
attaching the post bracket.
If bolts are used to mount the post bracket, the bolts must
completely penetrate the fence post. If your fence post is
wider than 8", it will be necessary to use carriage bolts
longer than those supplied. On wood posts use a metal
plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent
the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the
wood.
NOTE: If you have round metal gate posts that are 4” or
6” in diameter, optional mounting bracket adapters are
available, see Accessory Catalog.
Standard Post Bracket (included)
6” Wood or Metal Post
4” Metal Post
8” Wood Post
6” Metal Post
The use of optional mounting brackets adapters may
require you to drill a few additional holes in the standard
post bracket depending on your application.
Level
Optional Mounting Bracket Adapters
Step 3:
Close the gate and place your level against
the horizontal cross member. The top of the
level should be in the center of the cross
member and should overlap the fence post.
Scribe a line across the cross member and
fence post. You will use this line to help
determine position of gate and post brackets.
