iv Mighty Mule MM360 Installation Instructions
Please Read This First!
Thank you for purchasing a Mighty Mule Gate
Operator—GTO's "do-it-yourself" automatic gate
operator! When correctly installed and properly used,
your Mighty Mule Gate Operator will give you many
years of reliable service. Please read the following
information and watch the enclosed video to ensure
you have the correct system for your particular
needs. Furthermore, this manual and the DVD will
enable you to properly install your Mighty Mule Gate
Operator.
The Mighty Mule Gate Operator is designed for
installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate (gates
that open into the property). By purchasing an
accessory bracket, the Mighty Mule Gate Operator
can accommodate a push-to-open single leaf gate
(gates that open out from the property). The gate
must not exceed 16 feet in length or weigh more
than 550 pounds (please see Technical Specications
on page 8). The Mighty Mule Gate Operator can be
used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and
wrought iron gates. Use on solid surface gates is
not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high
resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough,
the operator will obstruct and stop.
The Mighty Mule Gate Operator accommodates
extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels,
push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access
control products. These optional accessories (see the
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 Mighty Mule Sales
Department (800-543-GATE).
The Mighty Mule Gate Operator features Dual Sense
Technology™. This feature makes the gate stop and
reverse direction when it comes in contact with an
obstruction. This is factory set to the most sensitive
setting and must be adjusted during installation.
The Mighty Mule Gate Operator also has an adjustable
auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully
open position, it can be set to remain open up 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.
NOTE—If your application requires any of the
following:
• Swing gates longer than 16 feet or weighing
more than 550 pounds
• Slide gates
• Heavy duty or commercial uses
• Professional installation
