E-Z GATE OPENER

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!

Thank you for purchasing a Mighty Mule Gate Opener®—GTO's "do-it-yourself" automatic gate opener! When correctly installed and properly used, your Mighty Mule Gate Opener® will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information and watch the enclosed videotape to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. Furthermore, this manual and the videotape will enable you to properly install your Mighty Mule

Gate Opener®.

The Mighty Mule Gate Opener® is designed for installation on a pull-to-open dual leaf gate (gates that open into the property). Using an accessory kit, the Mighty Mule Gate Opener® can accommodate a push-to-open dual leaf gate (gates that open out from the property). The gate must not exceed 16 feet in length nor weigh more than 350 pounds (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The Mighty Mule Gate Opener® can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind; if the wind is strong enough, the opener will obstruct and stop.

The Mighty Mule Gate Opener® accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories (see the enclosed Mighty Mule Accessory Catalog) are available at most stores. Your store should be able to special order any accessory not in stock. If your store cannot special order accessories, please call the GTO Sales Department.

The Mighty Mule Gate Opener® features adjustable obstruction sensing. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. MIN is the factory setting; meaning the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.

The Mighty Mule Gate Opener® also has an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully open position, it can be set to remain open for 1 to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately. OFF is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again.

PLEASE NOTE—If your application requires any of the following:

Swing gates longer than 16 feet or weighing more than 350 pounds; Slide gates; Heavy duty or commercial uses; Professional installation;

please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or (850) 575-0176 for information about our GTO/PRO professional line of gate openers and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone number of a

GTO/PRO dealer near you.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER:

watch the enclosed videotape and read these instructions carefully and completely

to become familiar with all parts and installation steps.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Clevis Pin

Hairpin Clip

Washer

Gate Bracket

Front Mount

Because automatic gate openers produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained gate opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener 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 consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate opener, 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.

Precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this warning symbol. The symbol identifies conditions that can result in damage to the opener or its components, serious injury, or death.

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.

To Manually Open and Close the Gate, Follow the Procedure Below:

Disconnecting the Openers

1. Turn control box power switch OFF.

2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and washer from front mount.

3. Pull front mount away from gate bracket.

Repeat steps 1 – 3 for the second opener

Your dual gate can be opened and closed manually when the openers are disconnected.

NOTE: Substitute Pin Locks for the clevis

pins to prevent unauthorized removal of the openers from the gate (see Accessory

catalog).

CAUTION: Disconnect the openers ONLY when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For The Consumer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction

manual could cause severe injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

2. 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.

3. 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 must not open into public access areas.

4. The gate and gate opener installation must comply with any applicable local codes.

I. Before Installation

1. Verify this opener is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use and the proper class rating.

2. 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 opener and safety devices used with the system.

3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the opener for manual gate operation (see page 1).

4. This gate opener is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (see page 6).

5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE

PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.

II. During Installation

1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an opener on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it.

2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.

3. Devices such as safety edges and photo beams provide additional protection against entrapment (see page 5).

4. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to

reach through the gate to activate the gate opener.

5. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.

6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

III. After Installation

1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is your responsibility to post 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 GTO for free replacements.

2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.

3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.

4. Do not attempt to "beat the gate" while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.

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. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to opener OFF before preforming any maintenance. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone spray to it at least once per month.

7. Service the gate and gate opener regularly. Grease hinges, spray push pull tube with high quality silicon spray and replace the battery every two (2) years.

8. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the opener for manual gate operation (see page 1). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the opener, contact the GTO Service Department.

9. Disconnect the opener ONLY when the power is TURNED OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

10. Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.

11. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with all

persons authorized to use your gate.

12. IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is

using or will be around the gate and gate opener are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the gate opener or sell the gate opener, provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner.

Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by downloading one from the Mighty Mule web site (www.mightymule.com), by contacting GTO, Inc., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a duplicate copy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment

As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate openers shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent primary and one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. The

Mighty Mule utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the Mighty Mule has provisions for the connection of Type B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.

1. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge 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 edge, 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 opener is not subjected to mechanical damage. C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate opener 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 Mighty Mule Gate Opener® is designed to stop and reverse approximately 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. Additionally, these openers are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the opener receives an intended signal (e.g., from a transmitter) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Required Safety Precautions for Dual Gates

Install Warning Signs

Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are recommended when installing the Mighty Mule Gate

Opener recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the GTO Sales Department) for controlled access.

. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate. We

Entrapment Protection

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 each gate leaf (see page 7 for details).
