    A:  Yes, do not use it as it is not recommended to use a wheel with the mighty Mule opener. If your gate does not sag opening it or closing it you should not have any trouble with it opening or shutting the gate. Thanks for your question Franklin C.

      A:  jdsliter1387, Thank you for taking the time to post your question. This gate opener can't be connected to a second opener to make it a dual gate opener. For your gate set up, we would recommend our Mighty Mule Medium Duty Dual Swing Automatic Gate Opener (Model # MM462). The MM462 Medium Duty Dual Swing system is designed for dual swing gates up to 12 ft. long or up to 300 lbs. per panel. Thank you,

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  SKW, If the Mighty Mule gate opener hits an obstruction at any point of its opening path, the gate opener is designed to stop and reverse the gate when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm. Thank you,
