GTO 4000XLS Instruction Manual © 01.10.12 iii
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential
hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated 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 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.
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 the total gate operating system, it is the
responsibility of the installer/consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended
use.
How To Manually Open and Close the Gate:
CAUTION: The gate can be opened and closed manually when the operator is disconnected.
ONLY disconnect the operator when the operator power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.
Disconnecting the Operator
1. Turn operator power switch (Control Box) OFF.
2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing from both the front and
rear mounting points.
3. Remove the operator from the mount.
CAUTION: Because the GTO gate operator is battery powered,
disconnect the operator ONLY when the power switch on the contol
box is turned OFF. Unplugging the transformer does not turn power
to the operator OFF.
NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock
[FM345] for the clevis pin on the front
mount of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of the
operator from the gate.
