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 Mighty Mule 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: Disconnect the operator chain ONLY when the power switch on the contol box

is turned off.

Disconnecting the Operator

1. Lift both the quick release pins UP, then pull them OUT

of the chain brackets (see Illustration).

2. Lay the chain down and manually slide the gate to the

desired position.

CAUTION: Because the Mighty Mule gate

operator is battery powered, disconnect the

operator ONLY when the power switch on

the control box is turned OFF. Unplugging

the transformer does not turn power to the

operator OFF.

NOTE: To prevent unauthorized removal of the

quick release pins, install

[FM133] pin locks (see

accessories on page 24) above the quick release pins

in both chain brackets.
