Tools Needed:
INSTALLATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
LEATHER GLOVES BE WORN WHILE
WINDING THE TORQUEMASTER
®
PLUS SPRINGS. FAILURE TO WEAR
GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO
HANDS.
Double check to ensure the
counterbalance cable is aligned in the first
groove of the cable drum as shown in Step
24.
PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SPRINGS,
ENSURE YOU’RE WINDING IN THE
PROPER DIRECTION AS STATED IN
THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
OTHERWISE, THE SPRING FITTINGS
MAY RELEASE FROM SPRING
IF NOT WOUND IN THE PROPER
DIRECTION AND COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Starting with the right hand side, place a
mark on winding shaft (or socket) and end
bracket. Turn the pawl knob on the end
bracket to the upper position.
IMPORTANT: Using a ratchet with a 5/8”
(16 mm) socket (NOTE: A 3” (76 mm)
extension is recommended for added
clearance from the horizontal angle), wind
the spring by rotating the winding shaft
counter clockwise, while watching the
mark on the winding shaft.
IMPORTANT: PAWL KNOB MUST BE
IN UPPER POSITION TO ADD/REMOVE
REQUIRED NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS.
After 2-3 turns, remove the ratchet and
adjust the cable tension on the left side.
Ensure the cable is in the first groove of
the cable drums, as shown in Step 24.
NOTE: Single spring applications require
no spring winding of the left hand side but
need cable tension adjustments.
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE CABLE
TENSION MUST BE EQUAL ON BOTH SIDES
PRIOR TO FULLY WINDING SPRINGS.
SEE THE SPRING TURN CHART FOR THE
REQUIRED NUMBER OF TURNS:
For single spring applications:
Return to the right hand and continue
winding the spring to the required number
of turns for your door. Place pawl knob in
lower position.
For double spring applications:
Place a mark on the winding shaft and end
bracket. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket
