GTO Black 2000XLS/3000XLS/4000XLS Scraper Seal Kit
The scraper seal is a small part, but it matters in outdoor gate service. A damaged seal can let grit and water get where they should not be, and a misfit seal can create drag on the moving arm. Customers often replace this part when servicing a housing, after noticing seal pieces coming loose, or when the arm travel feels rough because the old seal is binding.

Technician Note
If the old scraper seal caused friction or stopped the operator before full travel, clean the housing area and inspect for swelling, debris, misalignment, or damaged covers before installing the new seal.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the operator series: 2000XLS, 3000XLS, 4000XLS, or a confirmed related model
- Compare the old scraper seal profile to the replacement
- Inspect the housing kit and moving arm surface for damage
- Clean debris from the housing area before installing
- Do not trim or force the seal unless the manufacturer instructions call for it
Professional Advisory
Work around the actuator only with the operator powered down and secured. If the arm binds, reverses, or generates abnormal force after seal replacement, have a qualified technician inspect the full gate and operator.
Important Ordering Warnings
- R4708 is not automatically correct for every 2000, 3000, or 4000 arm generation
- A seal kit will not correct a bent actuator or bad bracket geometry
- Improper seal installation can create friction and nuisance obstruction trips
- Do not bypass obstruction or safety systems to overcome seal drag
Product Questions & Answers
What does the R4708 scraper seal do?
It helps scrape and seal around the moving arm area on select GTO / Linear XLS swing gate operators to reduce debris and moisture entry.
Which operators is R4708 commonly listed for?
It is commonly listed for 2000XLS, 3000XLS, and 4000XLS operators, with some listings also referencing related SW2000XL, SW3000, and SW3000XL models.
Can a bad scraper seal make the gate stop?
Yes. A swollen, torn, or incorrectly seated seal can create drag on the arm and may contribute to stopping or reversing.
Should the housing be inspected when replacing the seal?
Yes. Check the housing, arm surface, and mounting alignment because a damaged housing can ruin a new seal.
Is R4708 a safety device?
No. It is a seal kit. It does not replace photo eyes, edges, loops, or other required entrapment protection devices.
