The GTO/PRO® SW-1500 Automatic Gate Operator
is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf
gate (gates that open into the property). By purchasing an accessory bracket (FM148), the GTO/PRO® SW-1500
Automatic Gate Operator can accommodate a push-to-open single leaf gate (gate that opens out from the property).
The gate must not exceed 8 feet and 550 pounds or exceed 16 feet and 150 pounds (please see Technical Specifications
on page 10). The GTO/PRO® SW-1500 Automatic Gate 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.
