Installation of the Closed Position Stop
The GTO/PRO® 4000XL/4200XL Gate Operators firmly hold the gates in the closed position using
positive stops. The positive stops help stabilize the gate leaves in the closed position. To further
enhance stability and security, we strongly recommended using an optional
GTO/PRO® Automatic
Gate Lock
(
see
Accessory Catalog
) with your dual gates.
IMPORTANT:
You need
to determine which side of the
driveway you will mount the
control box. From this point on
the gate and gate operator on the
same side as the control box will
be referred to as the
MASTER
gate and gate operator. The gate
and gate operator on the opposite
side of the driveway from the
control box will be referred to
as the
SLAVE
gate and gate
operator.

Step 1
Detach the gate operators from the gates and move the
gates to their closed position (
Illustration A
). Using
appropriate hardware for your type of gate (U-bolts for
tube or chain link; screw or bolts for wood or metal) attach
the
closed position stop plate
(
horizontally
) in line with
the operator arm, about mid height on the MASTER gate
frame.
Do not
tighten it completely at this time. Slide
the stop plate toward the frame of the SLAVE gate leaf
until they touch (
Illustration B
). Once you have moved
the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware
completely.
NOTE:
The optional ground stop post is used to provide a secure point for the SLAVE gate to close
against. If you will be using the GTO/PRO Horizontal Gate Lock accessory with your gate operator
system, the closed position ground stop is REQUIRED, as shown in Steps 2 and 3 on the next page.
