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 ensure 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®Plus 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®Plus counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must
2
PRE-INSTALLATION

be firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
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 (IF APPLICABLE): Depending on the size of your door, you may have to
cut or trim the weatherstrips (if necessary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
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.
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, #3, and #4
(#4 only on five section doors). The stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section.
The sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 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 (E4.) can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory
attached bottom astragal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets, and by the bottom
corner bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The SECOND SECTION (E3.) can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges.
The INTERMEDIATE SECTION (E2.)can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges. The sec-
tion will have a warning label attached to either the right or left hand end stile.
NOTE: #4 graduated end hinges are used on the fourth section of five section doors.
The TOP SECTION (E1.) can be identified with no pre-installed graduated end or center
hinges.

19a. Attach locking pliers to track above top roller.
19b. Grasp cable at approximate mid-door height location.
19c. Draw cable toward you about 1/2” to 1” and release, noting the response of the cable.
19d. Repeat above steps for other cable.
19e. Adjust cable tension as needed until right and left cables both respond the same.
WARNING
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN WINDING SPRINGS AS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OR USE THE PROPER TOOLS
CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO WIND THE SPRING, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU ARE UNCLEAR ON ANY
ASPECT OF THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A
TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN.
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.
19f. 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.
19g. Check the Winding The Spring Turn Chart (below) for the required number of complete
turns to balance your door.
19h. Starting on the right hand side, turn the pawl knob on the end bracket (I4.) 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 18 Adjusting Counterbal-
ance 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 (I3.). 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.

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.
STEP 22 INSTRUCTIONS
22a. 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.
22b. 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
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN WINDING SPRINGS AS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OR USE THE PROPER TOOLS
CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO WIND THE SPRING, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU ARE UNCLEAR ON ANY
ASPECT OF THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A
TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN.
22c. 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.
22d. 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

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 aesthetically pleasing finish of the garage door, a periodic washing of
the garage door is recommended.
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. 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.
Painting Your Garage Door
Refer to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass or Steel Door Sec-
tions”.
Maintaining The Finish On Your Garage Door
If the factory finish is beginning to fade, the door may require a field applied top clear coat.
Depending on environment and usage, this may be necessary after 1 to 3 years of use. Refer
to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass Or Steel Door Sections”.
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®Plus end
brackets above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in
case of spring failure or forceful manual operation.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door draw-
bar 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 gripping
points, lift the door to check its balance. Adjust spring(s) (see Step 22), if door lifts by itself
(hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). 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.
