Product Overview
The R4708 scraper seal kit, also commonly referenced as R4404, is the black scraper seal service part used on select Linear/GTO PRO swing gate operator arms. The scraper seal helps protect the actuator housing opening by reducing the amount of dirt, water, grit, and insect debris that can work into the arm as the shaft travels. When the scraper seal is torn, hardened, missing, or no longer seated correctly, the actuator can be exposed to more contamination and premature wear. This is a small part, but it is important for keeping older XL and XLS style GTO operator arms serviceable in outdoor gate environments.
This replacement part is intended for restoring the original mechanical or control function of the listed Linear/GTO operator. Because older GTO PRO and Mighty Mule systems have several similar-looking model generations, match the part number, operator model, and original parts diagram before ordering. The same family name can include different arms, housings, control parts, brackets, or chain lengths depending on production year and single-gate or dual-gate layout.

Technician Notes
- R4708 and R4404 are commonly treated as related or alternate references for this scraper seal kit.
- The seal kit does not repair a bent actuator tube, stripped screw drive, failed motor, or water-damaged control board.
- XL and XLS operator generations can use different internal parts, so verify the parts diagram before ordering.
- Replace the seal carefully so the moving shaft is not scratched or forced out of alignment.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm your old seal is black and matches the R4708/R4404 style.
- Check whether your operator is XL, XLS, B, or another generation.
- Inspect the actuator tube for corrosion, scoring, or physical damage.
- Do not use seal replacement as a substitute for repairing a gate that is dragging or binding.
Professional Advisory
Gate operator repairs should be performed with power disconnected and the gate secured so it cannot move unexpectedly. Do not bypass monitored safety devices, entrapment protection, limit components, or factory control wiring. If the gate is binding, the arm is bent, the slide chain is badly worn, or the operator has water or insect damage, have the full system inspected by a qualified gate technician before replacing only one part.
Product Questions and Answers
Is R4708 the same as R4404?
R4708 is commonly listed as the current or related number for the R4404 black scraper seal kit. Match both the part number and the operator model before ordering.
Will this fit every GTO swing gate opener?
No. It is used on select GTO PRO XL and XLS actuator arms. Smaller residential Mighty Mule arms and larger commercial arms may use different service parts.
What problem does this seal help with?
It helps protect the actuator opening from dirt and moisture intrusion. It will not fix a failed motor, stripped drive screw, or gate alignment problem.
