Installation Of The Closed Position Stops - Mighty Mule Silver-HD Dual 25th annivesary series Installation Manual

Installation of the Closed Position Stops

The GTO® 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® 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 SECOND gate
and gate opener.
Step 1
Attach the horizontal closed position stop plate to the
MASTER gate leaf.
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) 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 SECOND 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 SECOND gate to close
against. If you will be using the GTO 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.
