Installation of the Closed Position Stops
The GTO/PRO Gate Openers 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 gate.
IMPORTANT: You need to determine which side of the driveway you will mount the control box. From this point on the gate and gate opener on the same side as the control box will be referred to as the MASTER gate and gate opener. The gate and gate opener on the opposite side of the driveway from the control box will be referred to as the SLAVE gate and gate opener.

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 opener system, the closed position ground stop is REQUIRED, as shown in Steps 2 and 3 on the next page.
