Removing an Existing Door
and Preparing the Opening
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE
ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
WARNING
A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR
SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN, USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS,
RELEASE THE SPRING TENSION.
To avoid possible injury and to insure proper installation, it's highly recommended that you
read and fully understand the complete instructions on removing an Existing Door & Prepar-
ing the Opening. These are available for download at www.Wayne-Dalton.com or at your
local Wayne Dalton Sales Center.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU JUST REMOVED YOUR EXISTING DOOR OR YOU ARE INSTALLING A
NEW DOOR, COMPLETE ALL STEPS IN PREPARING THE OPENING.
To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center brackets, or steel angles to
new or retro-fit construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA
technical data sheets #156, #161 and #164 at www.dasma.com.
The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed with wood jamb
and header material. The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framing
members. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb and
the header level. The jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top of
the opening for TorqueMaster®counterbalance systems. For low headroom applications, the
jambs should extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the open-
ing to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD
FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.
For TorqueMaster®counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be
firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
2
Pre-Installation

NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not
attach the mounting surface with nails.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if neces-
sary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge
of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting
at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached
weatherstrip in the header and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure
the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom
section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately
12” to 18” apart.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside
the header edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting
at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached
weatherstrip in the header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the
weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom sec-
tion from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12”
to 18” apart.
HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the space needed above the top of
the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be motor
operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
NOTE: 6” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local
Wayne Dalton dealer.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening
back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

Door Section Identification
Graduated end and center hinges are always pre-attached at the top of each section (except
top section) and the graduated end hinges are stamped for identification, #1, #2 and #3. The
stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section. The sequence is always determined by
#1 being the bottom section to #2 or #3 being the highest intermediate section. If the stamp
on the graduated end hinge is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration. The section
side view illustration shows the graduated end hinge profile of all sections, and can also be
used to identify each section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory attached
bottom weather seal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets and by the bottom corner
bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The LOCK SECTION can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges on a 4 section high door
and by #3 graduated end hinges on a 3 section high door. Also, on a 3 section door, the lock
section will come with a warning label attached to the right or left endstile.
The INTERMEDIATE SECTION can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges (Only on a 4
section high door). The section will have a warning label attached to either the right or left
hand end stile.
The TOP SECTION can be identified with no pre-installed graduated end or center hinges.

DOOR INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instruc-
tions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an
improperly installed door.
NOTE: Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at www.dasma.com.
IMPORTANT: IF THE DOOR WILL BE EXPOSED TO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROAD SALT,
PAINT THE BARE GALVANIZED BOTTOM WEATHER STEEL RETAINER TO INHIBIT RUSTING.
Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To
Vertical Tracks
1
NOTE: If you have Riveted Track or Angle Mount Track, skip this step.
FOR DOORS WITH QUICK INSTALL TRACK: Place the lower Quick Install tab of the left
hand flag angle in the Quick Install feature of the left hand vertical track. Give the flag angle
1/4 turn to lock in place. Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket
schedule, determine the placement of the jamb brackets for your door height and track
length. To install the jamb brackets, align the Quick Install tab on the Quick Install jamb
bracket with the Quick Install feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular
to the track so the mounting flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat the same
process for right hand side.

IMPORTANT: IF YOUR DOOR IS TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO A FINISHING CONSTRUCTION
OF THE BUILDING’S FLOOR, THE VERTICAL TRACKS AND THE DOOR BOTTOM SECTION
ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE INSTALLED SUCH THAT WHEN THE FLOOR IS CONSTRUCTED, NO
DOOR OR TRACK PARTS ARE TRAPPED IN THE FLOOR CONSTRUCTION.
IMPORTANT: THE TOPS OF THE VERTICAL TRACKS MUST BE LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
IF THE BOTTOM SECTION WAS SHIMMED TO LEVEL IT, THE VERTICAL TRACK ON THE
SHIMMED SIDE MUST BE RAISED THE HEIGHT OF THE SHIM.
NOTE: Make sure the counterbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the
door jamb.
Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section, remove the nail. Position the left hand
vertical track assembly over the track rollers of the bottom section and install, as shown. Drill
3/16” pilot holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.
Loosely fasten jamb brackets and flag angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.
Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom jamb bracket to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spac-
ing, between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag
angle. Repeat same process for other side.

WARNING
WINDING SPRING IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER GLOVES BE WORN WHILE WINDING
SPRINGS. FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO HANDS.
NOTE: A 3” ratchet extension is recommended for added clearance from the horizontal track
angle.
IMPORTANT: PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER POSITION TO ADD / REMOVE REQUIRED
NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS.
There are two methods for counting the spring turns as you wind. One method is to identify
the black tooth on the ratchet wheel inside of the end bracket. When the wheel makes one
revolution and the tooth returns to its starting point, one turn has been made. The other
method is to make a mark on the winding shaft (or socket) and end bracket, and count your
turns in this manner.
Check the label attached to the spring warning tag or the Winding Spring Turn Chart (below)
for the required number of complete turns to balance your door.
Starting on the right hand side, turn the pawl knob on the end bracket to the upper position.
Using a ratchet wrench with a 5/8” socket and a 3” ratchet extension, wind the spring by
rotating the winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching either the black tooth on the
ratchet wheel or the mark on the winding shaft. After 2 to 3 turns, remove the ratchet wrench
and adjust the counterbalance lift cable on the left side. Ensure counterbalance lift cables are
in the first groove of the cable drums, as shown in Step Adjusting Counterbalance Lift Cable.
NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on the left hand side, but lift
cable tension needs to be adjusted.
FOR SINGLE SPRING APPLICATIONS: Return to the right hand end bracket and continue
winding the spring to the required number of turns for your door following the double spring
instructions below. Place pawl knob in lower position.
FOR DOUBLE SPRING APPLICATIONS: Either use the black tooth on the ratchet wheel for
winding reference or place a mark on the winding shaft and end bracket. Place the ratchet
wrench with 5/8” socket and a 3” ratchet extension onto the left hand winding shaft end.
To wind the spring, rotate the winding shaft clockwise, while watching the black tooth on
the ratchet wheel or the mark on the winding shaft. Rotate the winding shaft to the required
number of winding turns for your door. Then return to the right hand side and wind the right
hand spring to the required number of turns. Place pawl knob in lower position on both sides.
IMPORTANT: MARK THE NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS ONTO THE END BRACKET WARNING
TAG.

Balancing Door
22
NOTE: Windows may cause the top section to be significantly heavier than the remaining
sections. Wayne Dalton attempts to balance the door at the top and bottom. To prevent any
sudden door acceleration between the top and bottom, we recommend motor operating all
doors with windows.
Remove any locking pliers. Lift the door and check its balance. Adjust spring(s) if door lifts by
itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (drifts down). Anytime spring adjustments
are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper position. An unbalanced door can cause
TorqueMaster®Plus operation problems.
Close the door and place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above the third track
roller. This is to prevent the garage door from rising while adjusting the spring(s).
IMPORTANT: TO ADJUST SPRINGS, ONLY ADD OR REMOVE A MAXIMUM OF 3/10 OF
A TURN (THREE TEETH ON THE RATCHET WHEEL) AT A TIME. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE
ADJUSTED EQUALLY ON DOUBLE SPRING DOORS.
WARNING
WINDING SPRINGS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
ADD SPRING TENSION: The ratchet wheel is made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. Place
pawl knob in upper position. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket and 3” ratchet extension
onto the winding shaft, to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel pass
over the pawl, creating three “clicks”. Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring
applications, repeat the same process for the other side.
REMOVE SPRING TENSION: To remove spring tension, place a regular 5/8” wrench onto the
winding shaft. Place pawl knob in upper position.
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.
Pull down on the wrench to relieve pressure between the pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push in
on the pawl to allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to pass by the pawl, as you carefully allow
the wrench to be rotated upward by the spring tension, release the pawl to allow it to engage
with the ratchet wheel. Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring applications,
repeat the same process for the other side.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURN (1 SPRING TURN
EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF TURNS
SHOWN ON THE WINDING SPRING TURN CHART.
If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position, unwind
spring(s) completely, and recheck the following items:
1.) Is the door level?
2.) Are the TorqueMaster®spring tube and flag angles level and plumb?
3.) Does the distance between the flag angles equal door width plus 3-3/8” to 3-1/2”?
4.) Do the counterbalance lift cables have equal tension? Adjust if necessary.
5.) Rewind the spring(s).
6.) Make sure door is not rubbing on jambs.

TorqueMaster®Plus Reset Instructions
IMPORTANT: THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED AC-
CORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. SOME LIGHTER WEIGHT DOORS ARE
DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH A SINGLE COUNTERBALANCE SPRING. IF THAT COUNTER-
BALANCE SPRING BREAKS AND THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR’S FORCE SETTINGS ARE NOT
ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS, THE DRAWBAR
OPERATOR MAY THEN HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF LIFTING THE DOOR TO THE OPEN POSI-
TION, DESPITE THE BROKEN COUNTERBALANCE SPRING. THIS SCENARIO WILL CAUSE
THE COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES TO GO SLACK AND ENGAGE THE TORQUEMASTER®
PLUS SAFETY SYSTEM. IF A PERSON IS UNAWARE OF THE SLACK COUNTERBALANCE LIFT
CABLES AND THE ENGAGED TORQUEMASTER®PLUS SAFETY SYSTEM AND ACTIVATES THE
MISADJUSTED DRAWBAR OPERATOR, DAMAGE WILL LIKELY OCCUR TO THE DOOR AND
DRAWBAR OPERATOR. THE POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS THAT THE PERSON ACTIVATING THE
DRAWBAR OPERATOR UNDER THIS SCENARIO COULD BE SEVERELY INJURED.
WARNING
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
RESET THE TORQUEMASTER® PLUS SYSTEM. IF IN QUESTION ABOUT
ANY OF THE PROCEDURES, DO NOT PERFORM THE WORK. INSTEAD,
HAVE A QUALIFIED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN RESET THE SYSTEM.
WARNING
TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, DO NOT STAND OR WALK UNDER
A MOVING DOOR, OR PERMIT ANYONE TO STAND OR WALK UNDER AN
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED DOOR.
This door is equipped with a TorqueMaster®plus system, a safety feature which prevents
the door from rapidly descending in case of spring failure or forceful manual operation. If the
system engages with the door in the open position, personal items that are left unattended in
the garage or home are at risk to theft. To ensure the safekeeping of these items, close the
garage door.
Typical signs of an engaged system.
Single spring system: Visually inspect the TorqueMaster®Plus right hand end bracket to
confirm that the system has engaged (see illustration). If the system is engaged, then the
door will not close. If the drawbar operator force settings were properly set during the initial
installation, the door will not open. If the drawbar operator can physically overcome the
weight of the door and lift it to the open position, then the counterbalance lift cables will be
slack. If the system is engaged, DO NOT attempt to make the repairs. Instead, have a trained
door system technician make the necessary repairs to counterbalance lift cables, spring
assemblies and other hardware.
Double spring system: Visually inspect the TorqueMaster®Plus end brackets to confirm
that the system has engaged (see illustration). Door makes a distinct “clicking” noise upon
being opened. If the system is engaged, carefully follow the reset instructions below or refer
to the reset tag (attached to right hand end bracket) to reset the TorqueMaster®Plus system.
Resetting an engaged TorqueMaster®Plus double spring system only:
1. First, locate and visually inspect the TorqueMaster®plus end bracket(s) to confirm that the
system has engaged (see illustration).
2. With the door in the fully closed position, place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just
above the third track roller. Disengage the drawbar operator (if installed) by pulling or placing
the emergency disconnect in the manually operated position.
3. With assistance, carefully remove locking pliers and raise the door to the fully open posi-
tion.
4. Place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just below the bottom track roller on both
sides.
5. Now is a good time to remove vehicles or personal items from garage to provide clear
access to end brackets.
6. For single spring applications: Flip the ratchet pawl knob on the right hand end bracket
to the upper position. For double spring applications: Flip the ratchet pawl knob on both
end brackets to the upper position (see illustration).
7. Raise door 2”-3” and then lower door. Repeat this process until the system resets (see
disengaged system illustrations).
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE DOOR.
8. Cautiously remove the locking pliers from the vertical tracks. With assistance lower door.
Checking springs for tension:
9. Starting on the right hand side, place a ratchet wrench, 5/8” socket and a 3” extension
on the TorqueMaster®Plus winding shaft (see illustration). Ensure ratchet is set so that it will
tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side, and clockwise on the left hand side. If ten-
sion is present, remove the ratchet and check the left hand side. If spring(s) have tension, the
door will need to be balanced; refer to step, Balancing Door, to do this. If no spring tension is
present, contact a qualified trained door system technician to replace the spring(s).
IMPORTANT: TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS/ REPAIRS TO COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, SPRING ASSEMBLIES
AND OTHER HARDWARE.

Cleaning Your Garage Door
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on
a routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur when a door has been exposed
to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a result of
direct exposure to sunlight.
Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aestheti-
cally pleasing finish of the garage door, a periodic washing of the garage door is recom-
mended.
THE FOLLOWING CLEANING SOLUTION IS RECOMMENDED: A mild detergent solution
consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of
warm water will aid in the removal of most dirt.
NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended
for use in general cleaning of garage doors.
NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weatherstrips on both sides and top of door.
CAUTION
NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
NOTE: Do not use any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-
based cleaners of any kind.
To clean polycarbonate windows, see www.Wayne-Dalton.com.
Maintaining The Finish
On Your Garage Door
NOTE: Fiberglass doors exposed to the sun’s UV rays for extended periods will result in the
factory top clear coat degrading and fading of the finish. Manufacturer recommends the door
be inspected regularly and given a fresh top clear coat every 12 to 18 months, or more often
in areas of extreme environmental exposure. Refer to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and
Finishing Fiberglass Or Steel Door Sections” at www.Wayne-Dalton.com.
Operation And Maintenance
OPERATING YOUR GARAGE DOOR: Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to
the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. When correctly installed, your
Wayne Dalton door will operate smoothly. Always operate your door with controlled move-
ments. Do not slam your door or throw your door into the open position, this may cause dam-
age to the door or its components. If your door has an electric opener, refer to the owner’s
manual to disconnect the opener before performing manual door operation below.
MANUAL DOOR OPERATION: For additional information on manual garage door operations
go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 165.
WARNING
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HANDS INTO SECTION JOINTS WHEN
OPENING AND/OR CLOSING A DOOR. ALWAYS USE LIFT HANDLES /
SUITABLE GRIPPING POINTS WHEN OPERATING THE DOOR MANUALLY.
OPENING A DOOR: Make sure the lock(s) are in the unlocked position. Lift the door by using
the lift handles / suitable gripping points only. Door should open with little resistance.
CLOSING A DOOR: From inside the garage, pull door downward using lift handles / gripping
point only. If you are unable to reach the lift handles/ suitable gripping points only, use pull
down rope affixed to the side of door. Door should close completely with little resistance.
USING AN ELECTRIC OPERATOR:
IMPORTANT: PULL DOWN ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR
MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.
When connecting a drawbar (trolley type) garage door operator to this door, a drawbar opera-
tor bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any struts
provided with the door. Always use the drawbar operator bracket supplied with the door. To
avoid possible damage to your door, Wayne Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section
with a strut (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the drawbar operator must be
according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly. Refer
to the owner’s manual supplied with your drawbar operator for complete details on installa-
tion, operation, maintenance and testing of the operator.
MAINTAINING YOUR GARAGE DOOR: Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to
the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance
steps once a month, and have the door professionally inspected once a year. Review your
Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual for the garage door. These instructions are
available at no charge from Wayne Dalton, a division of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box
67, Mt. Hope, OH., 44660, or at www.Wayne-Dalton.com. For additional information on
garage door/operator maintenance go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 151, 167
and 179.
Monthly Inspections:
1. Visual Inspection: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any material
found not to be structurally sound must be replaced. It may be necessary to uninstall part
or all of the door assembly in order to replace defective material. Refer to the supplemental
instructions “Removing an Existing Door / Preparing the Opening” at www.Wayne-Dalton.
com. Inspect the spring(s), counterbalance lift cables, track rollers, pulleys, rear back hangs
and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws and/or
bolts, except on bottom corner brackets or on the counterbalance assembly. Check exterior
surface of the door sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has not shifted right or left in
the opening. If you suspect problems, contact a trained door system technician.
WARNING
GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS, COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, BRACKETS,
AND OTHER HARDWARE ATTACHED TO THE SPRINGS ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION, AND IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. ONLY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS
TECHNICIAN SHOULD ADJUST THEM, BY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
NEVER REMOVE, ADJUST, OR LOOSEN THE BOLTS, SCREWS AND/OR LAG
SCREWS ON THE COUNTERBALANCE (END BEARING BRACKETS, DRUMS
OR SPRING SYSTEM) OR BOTTOM CORNER BRACKETS OF THE DOOR.
THESE BRACKETS ARE CONNECTED TO THE SPRING(S) AND ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY,
HAVE ANY SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
TORQUEMASTER®PLUS SPRINGS: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster®end brack-
ets above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case
of spring failure or forceful manual operation.
EXTENSION SPRINGS: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the exten-
sion spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door
drawbar operator, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when
doing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Using handles or suitable grip-
ping points, lift the door to check its balance. Adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s),
if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). DO NOT
attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension
spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question about
any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door
systems technician.
3. Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door track rollers are
rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If track rollers do not rotate freely, clean
the door tracks, removing dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-
silicon based lubricant) graduated end hinges, center hinges, steel track rollers, bearings and
torsion springs (torsion spring coil surfaces). DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon
track rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust
to lubricate.
