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,

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.

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.

manual to determine what size sections you need to use as your lock (second) section, inter-
mediate (third) section, intermediate (fourth) section and top section. Measure your sections
to make sure they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE: The graduated end and center hinges can be identified by the number stamped onto
their lower hinge leaf.
NOTE: The #1, #2, #3, #4, graduated end hinges (Wide body) serves as end hinges on all
sections, except for the top section.
NOTE: The #1 Center hinge(s) (Narrow body) serves as center hinges on all sections, except
for the top section.
Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section, align the lower hinge leaf of the #1
graduated end hinge (wide body) over the holes, located at the top of the end caps. Align the
lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges (narrow body) with the pre-marked locations at the
center locations at the top of the section. Attach the lower hinge leafs to the section using (2)
1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screws.
IMPORTANT: ONCE THE 1/4” - 14 X 7/8” SELF DRILLING SCREWS ARE SNUG AGAINST THE
LOWER HINGE LEAFS, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO RECEIVE MAXIMUM
DESIGN HOLDING POWER.
Place a short stem track roller into each graduated end hinge. Repeat graduated hinge
attachment using the appropriate graduated end hinges for all remaining sections except the
top section.
IMPORTANT: WHEN PLACING SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLERS INTO THE #2 GRADUATED
END HINGES AND HIGHER, THE SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLER GOES INTO HINGE TUBE
FURTHEST AWAY FROM SECTION.
NOTE: The #2 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Lock section.

Counterbalance Lift Cable Adjustments
20
Adjust counterbalance lift cables to create about 1” to 2” (25 mm to 50 mm) of initial exten-
sion spring stretch, with the door in the fully opened position. Measure relaxed extension
spring length for your door height and verify with the chart below. Spring length must be the
same for both extension springs to allow even door balance. Carefully remove the locking
pliers from the horizontal track and lower the door into the closed position. Once the door is
closed, measure the extension spring length in tension for both sides. Using the chart, verify
the spring length in tension is correct with your door height.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust spring length for proper door balance.

Balancing Door
21
Lift door and check its balance. If door rises off floor more than 2 ft. under spring tension
alone, reduce spring tension by adjusting extension spring length, moving the “S” hook back-
ward (towards the rear back hangs) to a different hole in the horizontal track. If the door is
hard to rise or drifts down on its own, adjust extension spring length by moving the “S” hook
forward (towards the header) to a different hole in the horizontal track. A poorly balanced
door can cause garage door operator problems.
IMPORTANT: WHENEVER ADJUSTING EXTENSION SPRING LENGTH FOR DOOR BALANCE,
ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR TO THE FULLY OPEN POSITION AND RETURN THE LOCKING
PLIERS, AS SHOWN IN F3 TO THE HORIZONTAL TRACKS BELOW THE BOTTOM TRACK
ROLLERS.
If the door still does not operate easily, raise the door into the open position, return the lock-
ing pliers, and recheck the following items:
1.) Is the door level?
2.) Are the 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 by re-tieing the special knot,
if necessary.
5.) Make sure door is not rubbing on jambs.
IMPORTANT: IF DOOR STILL DOES NOT BALANCE PROPERLY, THEN CONTACT A TRAINED
DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.
Attaching Weather Seal

Cleaning Your Garage Door
Like any other exterior surface, Wayne Dalton garage doors will have dirt exposure from
atmospheric conditions. Ordinarily, the cleaning action of rainfall will be adequate to wash the
door, or the door can be washed periodically by hosing with a garden hose and clear water
(in particular) for the areas not accessible to rain. If you desire to do a more thorough clean-
ing, or where soil collection conditions occur, follow these simple instructions.
1. Use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush. It attaches to your garden hose and
makes washing your garage door easier. Do not rub vigorously which may create glossy
areas over the vinyl finish.
2. For hard-to-remove dirt, such as soot and grime found in industrial areas, wash the garage
door down with a mild solution consisting of the following ingredients:
One cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm
water.
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 weather stripping on both sides and top of door.
3. Start at the bottom and work up to the top, as less streaking will result. Immediately
following all washing operations, thoroughly rinse the surface area with fresh water from a
garden hose.
This cleaning and maintenance information is suggested in an effort to be of assistance;
however, manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for results obtained which are depen-
dent on the cleaning solution and method of application.
CAUTION
DO NOT PAINT DOOR. PAINTING DOOR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
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.
