Starting on the left hand side, thread the counterbalance lift cable up and around the front
side of the left hand cable drum.
IMPORTANT: VERIFY THAT THERE ARE NO COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE OBSTRUCTIONS.
Hook the counterbalance lift cable into the left hand cable drum. Slide the left hand cable
drum up against the left hand end bearing bracket. Counterbalance lift cable should
terminate at the 3 o’clock position. Tighten the (2) set screws in the drum to 14-15 ft. lbs. of
torque (once set screws contact the shaft, tighten screws one full turn).
NOTE: If you have torsion keyed shaft(s), insert (1) key into the slot of both the cable drum
and the slot in the torsion keyed shaft, as shown.
Rotate the left hand drum and torsion shaft until counterbalance lift cable is taut. Now attach
locking pliers to the torsion shaft and brace locking pliers up against jamb to keep counter-
balance lift cable taut.
Repeat for right hand side.
IMPORTANT: INSPECT EACH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES MAKING SURE THEY ARE
SEATED PROPERLY ONTO THE CABLE DRUMS AND THAT BOTH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT
CABLES HAVE EQUAL TENSION.
