STEP 1 UNPACKING DOORS
Before removing the door from any packaging, inspect the door and packaging for visible signs of damage. If
damage is noted, file a freight claim with the freight company immediately. Remove the door from the packaging.
Do not cut tape that holds door in a roll. You will be told in step
#7 when to cut tape.
No guarantee will be given byWayne-Dalton Corp. if the door is not erected as instructed. For best operation, follow
the instructions step by step. Please review all instructions thoroughly before starting installation.
STEP 2 CHECK THE DOOR OPENING
Verify the opening measurements with the door packing slip. Consult the factory if the actual opening width varies
from that shown on the packing slip by more than 2 inches. Check to make certain that the dooropeningis plum and
that the floor is level. Check to be certain there is sufficient clearance from the opening to the ceiling and the
sidewalls (see Required Clearances below).

STEP 3 INSTALLING MOUNTING ANGLES AND GUIDES
Obtain the appropriate Bolt Line (BL) measurement from the chart below. Use opening width listed on the
packing slip. Any variation between the actual opening width and the opening width listed on the packing slip is to
be ignored.
Use BL measurement to locate wall mounting angle for one
jamb only. Second angle will be located using Angle Face to
Angle Face Measurement.
Using the BL measurement, loosely
clamp the right hand wall angle to
the right hand jamb. Position the
wall angle such that the BL
measurement falls near the center of
the wall angle holes. Use a level to
adjust the angle so that it is level and
tighten the clamp. Install wall angle
fasteners in the top and bottom holes
only. Do not install fasteners in the
slots at the top of the wall angle at
this time. Fasteners will be installed
in these in step #4.
Obtain the Angle Face to Angle Face
equation from the chart above. Add
the opening width listed on the
packing slip to obtain the Angle Face to Angle Face measurement. Usethis measurement
to locate the left hand wall angle on the left hand jamb and clamp in place. Install bolts in
the top and bottom holes in the wall angle. Verify that both wall angles are level and
double check the angle to angle measurement at the top, middle, and bottom to ensurethat
the wall angles are properly located. Using a string and a level, ensure that the mounting
angles are parallel to each other, shimming if necessary, to achieve both vertical and
horizontal leveling.
Starting at the bottom of each wall angle, install the remaining fasteners such that no
distance between two fasteners exceeds 12”. Do not install fasteners in the slots at the top
of the wall angle at this time. Fasteners will be installed in these in step #4.
Angle Face to Angle Face measurement
must be held to ensure proper door
operation and resistance to windload.
Use of any other fasteners than those provided must be
approved by manufacturer or building authority and cannot
be of lesser diameter or grade.
Align the guide slots with the holes in the wall angles and fasten guides with the interior windlock return towardsthe
door jamb using the 5/16-18 x 5/8” truss head bolts, washers, and flange nuts. Verifythat the“H”dimension is set at
1” on each guide prior to tightening the guide fasteners.

Trim the top of each wear strip at a 45° angle as shown and clip onto the
appropriate leg of each guide. Be sure that trimmed edges of the wear strips end
just below the flare of the guides. Install the bottom bar stops with the same 5/16-
18 x 5/8” truss head bolts and flange nuts used to assemble the guides. Leave the
fasteners loose to allow the bottom bar stops to pivot out of the way of the bottom
bar angle when the curtain will be pulled into the guides. You will be instructed to
tighten the bottom bar stop fasteners in step #7.
STEP 4 BRACKET INSTALLATION
Install the brackets to the outside of
the wall mounting angles (awayfrom
the opening) using two 5/16-18 x
5/8” truss head bolts and flat
washers in the two slots at the top of
the mounting angles, as shown.
Loosely install the 5/16-18 flange
nuts on the bolts to hold the brackets
in place. For steel jambs, the bracket
flange will rest against the wall. For
masonry jambs, the bracket flange
will rest against the wall side leg of
the mounting angle with the two
holes in the bracket flange lining up
with two slots in the wall angle.
Check that the brackets are straight
and square with one another,
shimming if necessary, and install the appropriate wall mounting fasteners through the two holes in the bracket
flange. Tighten the flange nuts on each bracket. If mounted on steel jambs, install wall mounting fastener in the top
slot of each wall angle.
STEP 5 LIFTING THE CURTAIN ASSEMBLY
Door assembly may be heavy. Do not allow door assembly to
fall when lifting, or serious injury or death could result.
The left hand end of the curtain assembly (when installed) will be the end with the spring. Lift the curtain assembly
up to the brackets and insert the left hand axle end into the large hole in the left hand bracket. Be sure that the axle
collar rests against the bracket. While continuing to support the curtain assembly, insert the right hand axle end into
the right hand bracket in the same manner. It may be necessary to gently pry the right hand bracket out to allow
clearance for the curtain assembly axle end. Install the 1-7/16” ID washer onto the appropriate axle ends and secure
the curtain assembly in position by installing the cotter pins through the holes in each axle end.
The 1-7/16” ID washer is not required for bearing or Tension-Pro brackets.
See Step #13 for Tension-Pro bracket assembly instructions.
To avoid serious injury or death, never walk, stand or work below
door assembly before it is secured to support brackets.

STEP 6 SPRING ATTACHMENT
Rotate curtain assembly so that the bottom bar is at the top
of the curtain roll. While holding the door from rotating,
carefully stretch the spring end to the bracket to determine
the bracket hole nearest to the loop in the spring end.
Position the 5/16-18 x 1” hex head bolt and flat washer in
the spring loop and stretch the spring to insert the bolt into
the previously determined bracket hole. Loosely install the
lock washer and nut on the outside of the bracket to hold the
spring stretch. Rotate the spring until it is centered on the
bracket, with all bracket tabs inside the spring, and securely
tighten the spring attachment bolt.
See step #13 for Tension-Pro bracket spring attachment.
If installation permits, use vise grips to secure spring loop to bracket for a
stretch free method of installing the spring attachment bolt.
STEP 7 PRE-TENSION THE DOOR SPRING
Starting with the bottom bar angle at the top of the curtain roll, apply two
complete turns of pre-tension to the spring by rotating the curtain roll in the
direction shown. Depending on door size, it may be necessary to pry the
bottom bar past the guide flare. The amount of tension required may vary
slightly. Final adjustment, if necessary, will be made in Step #9.
Spring tension can cause curtain roll to rotate rapidly.
Securely hold curtain roll from rotating while applying
pretension or serious injury or death could result.
Securely hold door curtain until bottom bar stop fasteners
have been tightened. If not securely held, door may raise or
drop, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Cut the tape that holds the door in a roll and gently pull the curtain down into the guides on both sides until the
bottom bar is below the bottom bar stops. Do not pry on the bottom bar stops to get bottom bar past, loosen fasteners
until bottom bar angle easily clears stops. If the door has a tendency to close, secure in position using clamps. If the
door has a tendency to rise, secure in position using a wood prop.
While the door is secured from moving, tighten the bottom bar stop fasteners on both guide assemblies.

STEP 8 LUBRICATE AND ADJUST THE GUIDES
Lubricate the insides of guides and wearstrips with weather resistant lubricating spray. Be sure to spray lubricant
over the flares at the top of each guide. Move the door up and down to check for proper operation. Adjust the guides
and mounting angles if necessary to allow for proper clearance and operation.
If door is difficult to move up and/or down due to spring imbalance,
continue on to step #9 and return to step #8 once springs are properly
adjusted.
STEP 9 CHECK AND ADJUST SPRING BALANCE
Move the door up and down to check for proper spring tension. If
the door lowers easily and raises hard, more spring tension is
required. If the door lowers hard and raises easily, less spring
tension is required. If a tension adjustment is necessary, secure the
door in position and remove the bottom bar stops. Carefully roll
the curtain all the way up without letting go of the bottom bar. Tie
a rope around the curtain roll and slowly rotate the curtain roll in
the opposite direction as tension was applied until spring is
neutral. Change the location of the spring attachment bolt in the
required direction as shown. Repeat steps 6, 7, 8, and 9. See Step
#13 for Tension-Pro bracket spring tension adjustment.
Spring tension can cause curtain roll to rotate rapidly.
Securely hold curtain roll from rotating while applying
pretension or serious injury or death could result.
Securely hold door curtain until bottom bar stop fasteners
have been tightened. If not securely held, door may raise or
drop, possibly causing serious injury or death.
STEP 10 LIFT HANDLE INSTALLATION
Install a lift handle in the center of the bottom bar using1/4-20 x 5/8”
carriage bolts and flange nuts such that the nut is on the coil side, or
inside, of the door as shown. If a second lift handle was provided,
install in the same manner on the right hand side of the bottom bar
(outside looking in). Install 1/4-20 x 5/8” carriage bolt and flange nut
in any remaining vacant holes in the bottom bar at this time.

STEP 12 INSTALLATION OF TOP DRAFT STOP (if applicable)
Close the door and secure it in
the down position. Use a pencil
to mark the door panel
corrugation that is parallel with
the bottom of the header/lintel
from the outside of the opening.
If this corrugation protrudes
below the header, mark the one
just above. Open the door until
the marked corrugation is
accessible. Stretch the top draft
stop across the door and attach it
to the curtain on the marked
corrugation with the self-drilling
screws provided, locating the
screws every 12" on center. Trim
the Top Draft Stop to clear the
guides if required. When the
door is closed, the draft-stop
should seal on the header.
Top Draft Stop may not seal on the header if not installed on a corrugation
as shown.

STEP 13 TENSION-PRO SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENT BRACKET (if applicable)
STEP #1: Install the Tension-Pro bracket on the left hand side of the curtain assembly per step #4 of this manual.
Insert cotter pin through hole in the axle. Do not use large washer on the Tension-Pro bracket side axle end.
STEP #2:Stretch and attach spring end to the spring holder plate of the Tension-Pro bracket using the 5/16-18 nut,
washer and lock-washer. Bolt must be installed with the nut on the spring loop side.
STEP #3:Pretension the door per step #7 of this manual. Pull curtain into guides and install bottom bar stops.
STEP #4: Test door operation to determine if spring balance requires adjustment. Adjust tension as needed per the
following instructions.
Spring tension can cause death or injury. Repairs/adjustments
must be made by a trained door technician.
Spring tension increases as door closes. Door must be fully
opened when making spring tension adjustments.
Pipe wrench interference can prevent pawl engagement with
ratchet gear. Always adjust tension one “CLICK” (gear tooth) at
a time and reposition wrench for each adjustment or serious
injury or death could result.
Contact with rapidly rotating ratchet gear can cause death or
injury. If wrench slips when decreasing tension, release pawl
immediately. Do not secure pawl in disengaged position.
