Thank you for purchasing a GTO/PRO® 3000 When correctly installed and properly used, your GTO/PRO® 3000
Operator will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the
correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your GTO/PRO® 3000
Automatic Gate Operator.
The GTO/PRO® 3000 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 GTO/PRO® 3000 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 (per leaf) nor
weigh more than 650 pounds (per leaf) (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The GTO/PRO® 3000
Operator can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) 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 GTO/PRO® 3000 Operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons,
automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories (see the enclosed GTO/PRO®
Accessory Catalog) are available.
The GTO/PRO® 3000 Operator features adjustable obstruction sensing. This safety feature makes the gate stop
and reverse direction within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. MIN is the factory setting;
meaning the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.
The GTO/PRO® 3000 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.
Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or [phone] for more information about our GTO/PRO®
professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone
number of a GTO/PRO® dealer near you.
