How to prep the side columns
1 Remove the covers on both side columns.
Screws for side column covers run in a vertical line. There is also one screw at the base of the column.
2 Make sure the vertical guide tracks for the door panels are in the fully lowered position.
Check all surfaces on side columns
and head assembly for protective film.
Remove film.
Covers may have one, two or three panels
depending on height.
Keep covers intact – DO NOT remove screws
that run horizontally (shaded area).
The SmartSurround™ light curtain on the side column
cover connects through two cables labeled “01”.
Make sure the cables are disconnected when you
remove the cover. You will reconnect them later.

Before After
Door ships with each
track set below the

This protects the

3 Loosen the holders on the vertical guide track. If necessary, lower the track.
Do this for both columns.
4 Select one holder at the halfway point of the side column and hand tighten the screws to
secure the guide track in place. Do this for both columns.
The tracks can now be repositioned easily after the side columns are installed, but will not slide
while the columns are being lifted into place and leveled.
How to center the door in the door opening
Rytec doors are engineered to be centered in the door opening, so follow these
steps even if the width of the opening and the production width match exactly.

Loosen, but do not remove,
each pair of track holders.
The number of holders varies

Plumb, level, square: how to position the door correctly as you
install the side columns
Call Rytec technical support at 800-628-1909 immediately and stop the installation
if you are not able to correctly position the door.
Before you begin: where to nd the anchor points on the Spiral side columns
How to anchor the door:
■Use 1/2" diameter through bolts,
1/2" diameter threaded rods or
equivalent to anchor the side columns.
■
Anchoring hardware and materials
must be provided by the door owner
or installer.
■
Make sure the anchors do not
interfere with the moving parts
of the door.
abThere are four sets of anchor
holes (a,b,c,d) at the top of
each side column.
■Use at least one anchor in
each set of anchor holes:
a, b, cand d. Anchor both
holes unless conditions at the
installation site prevent this.
■
Position anchors at the
horizontal center of the
anchor holes.
1
cd
There are three anchor holes (a,b,c)
in the baseplate of each side column.
You must use at least two baseplate anchors.
To access all three anchor holes:
■
Remove the bolts and move the bracket and CAN
terminal out of the way. Make sure you do not
disconnect any cables when moving the bracket.
c
a
b
For doors over 12' (twelve feet)
in height, drill an extra
anchor hole near the halfway
point of the side column for
added stability when the
column is installed.

You will need to hold it in place while tightening to keep it level.
▪Make two full passes from top to bottom: tighten bolts to snug

How to install the springs
1 Make sure the total number of springs in the crate matches the number listed in the object list a. The object list also shows how to divide the springs between the side columns b.
Make sure the preinstalled spring straps on both sides of the head assembly match the table below c for the total number of springs in the door.
Locate the parts and hardware for
the spring assemblies in both side columns.
▪Each assembly includes:
• 
• guide tubes
• a guide bracket
• a strap bracket
▪When there are more than
three springs in a side column,
two assemblies are installed
side by side and bolted together.
▪The table to the right shows how
to divide the parts and hardware
found in the small parts box(es) and
how to put together the assemblies.
Hardware to attach outer guide
brackets to side column wall
Match 01900812 screws to this
illustration to make sure length
is correct. Other screws used
in the Spiral have the same
head style, but are too long for
the guide bracket nut and will
damage the door.

How to install the secondary drive belt
1 Make sure the secondary drive belt is
kept taut throughout these steps.
▪The belt is preinstalled around the pulley a.
▪The door panel end bracket bis connected at the
precise height to keep the door panel level.
▪The belt is kept taut to the pulley and end bracket during
crating by two cable ties c.
▪If the belt becomes loose before it is secured to the
baseplate, it can skip a tooth in the pulley. This will cause
the door panel to run crooked and damage the door.
Keep downward pressure on the secondary drive belt
until the baseplate pulley assembly dis installed and the
belt has been properly tensioned.
2 Pull the secondary drive belt and baseplate
pulley assembly out of the console.
Lower them down the side column.
3 Grab the belt below the cable ties and pull
gently downward to keep the belt tight.
Cut the two cable ties to release the belt.
4 Remove the top nut on the front baseplate
mounting post.
Keep the nut.
Loosen the top nut on the rear mounting post.
DO NOT loosen the bottom nuts.
