Mounting the Operator
Step 11
Attach the operator to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin
clips, or optional Pin Locks (see Accessory Catalog). Verify that the operator is level and adjust the post bracket assembly if
necessary.
Installation of the Closed Position Stop
The GTO/PRO® 3000 Gate Operator firmly holds the gate in the closed position using the positive stop plate. The
positive stop helps stabilize the gate leaf in the closed position. To further enhance the stability and security of
your gate, install the optional GTO/PRO® Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog).
Step 12
Remove hairpin, clevis pin, and washer from front mount
and close the gate (remember to support operator). Fasten the
closed position stop plate to the end of the gate frame on the
gate centerline, but do not tighten it completely. Slide the
stop plate toward the fence post until they touch (see
illustration). Once you have moved the stop plate to the
correct position, tighten its hardware completely.
Use the appropriate hardware for your type of gate (use
U-bolts if you have a tube or chain link gate; wood or lag
screws for wood gates; etc.). This hardware is not provided.
