PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!
Thank you for purchasing a GTO/PRO-SW2502 When correctly installed and properly used, your GTO/PRO-
SW2502 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-
SW2502 Automatic Gate Operator.
The GTO/PRO-SW2502 Operator
is designed for installation on pull-to-open gates (gates that open into the
property). By purchasing an accessory bracket, the GTO/PRO-SW2502 Operator can accommodate push-to-open
gates (gates that open out from the property). The gates must not exceed 16 feet in length (per leaf) nor weigh more 
than 500 pounds (per leaf) (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The GTO/PRO-SW2502 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-SW2502 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-SW2502 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-SW2502 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/PRO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or (850) 575-0176 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.
