• If during previous step the door rolled up level and straight, skip this step.
A. Check that guides are plum, square, level, and are properly mounted onto oor and wall.
B. Check that the pipe is level.
C. Check that the attachment of the curtain is straight on the pipe.
If all of the above is correct and the door still rolls up out of level, a shim may need to be added, as shown in
FIG 13.
Shim materials:
• A piece of rubber is the desired material for a shim.
• A piece of cardboard could be used but may deteriorate over time.
• Use a 1/8” x 6” x 6” thick piece of material and increase thickness or pieces depending on the result
acquired, as shown in FIG 14.
Application of shim:
• To determine the side in which the shim will be applied, the door will need to be in the open position.
• When facing the door, the bottom bar will be unleveled. The lower side of the bottom bar will be the side
in which the shim needs to be placed.
• The hood may need to be loosened or removed for the application of the shim.
To apply the shim, two laborers might be required.
Installing the shim:
D. Close the door fully.
E. When door is at bottom make sure door is in hand chain mode.
F. Turn o the power to the motor (if applicable) to ensure safe application of the shim.
G. Backwind the door using the chain. Lock chain in place using chain keeper.
H. As the curtain is wound backwards apply the shim to the lower side between the pipe and slats or on
the ring of the low side.
I. Restore power to the motor (if applicable).
J. Check the level of the bottom bar while door is in the open position. If it is not level, add a second shim
and check again.
NOTE: If the door has wind locks there may be some stacking interference in the wind locks as the door is
wrapping during operation. This is a normal characteristic. For wind lock applications the doors bottom bar
should be level at the open position.

Model 523
Limited Warranty
Wayne Dalton, a division of Overhead Door Corporation, ("Seller") warrants to the original purchaser of the security
shutter model 523 (“Product”), subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, that the Product thereof will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the following periods, measured from the date of
installation:
24 MONTHS on all parts and components of the Product
Covered Components with Powder Coat Finish: Two (2) years against excessive fading, cracking,
blistering, flaking or peeling of the Powder Coat Finish; Covered Components shall mean: metal guides, bottom bars, head plates, hood and curtain slats of the Product
Seller’s obligation under this warranty is specifically limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, any part or
component which is determined by Seller to be defective during the applicable warranty period. Repair or
replacement labor for any defective Product component is excluded and will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
This warranty is made to the original purchaser of the Product only, and is not transferable or assignable. This
warranty does not apply to any unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product, or to any Product or component which
has been damaged or deteriorated due to misuse, neglect, accident, failure to provide necessary maintenance,
normal wear and tear, or acts of God or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller. This warranty does
not apply to any damage or deterioration caused by door slats rubbing together as the door rolls up upon itself or
caused by exposure to salt water, chemical fumes or other corrosive or aggressive environments, whether naturally
occurring or man-made, including, but not limited to, environments with a high degree of humidity, sand, dirt or
grease. This warranty does not apply if the Product is installed within 2000 meters of any ocean or other body of
saltwater. This warranty specifically excludes any damage resulting from scratching, abrasion or impact by any hard
object, and any fading or color change which may not be uniform due to unequal exposure of the curtains to sunlight
or other elements. Wearing away of the painted surfaces of the Product is a common occurrence resulting from the
curtain repeatedly coiling upon itself and uncoiling during normal usage (See DASMA #274), and is specifically
excluded from this warranty.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, OR LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
COLLATERAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, even if Seller has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Such excluded damages include, but are not limited to, loss of goodwill, loss of profits,
loss of use, cost of any substitute product, interruption of business, or other similar indirect financial loss.
Claims under this warranty must be made promptly after discovery, within the applicable warranty period, and in
writing to the authorized dealer or installer whose name and address appear below. The purchaser must allow Seller
a reasonable opportunity to inspect any System claimed to be defective prior to removal or any alteration of its
condition. Proof of the purchase and/or installation date, and identification as the original purchaser, may be required.
