See chart in Step 30 for proper spring
tension setting.
Beginning with the right hand side,
ensure the cable is in the first groove of
the cable drum. Apply light pressure to
the canoe clip on counter cover while
winding springs.
Using a power drill (high torque/gear
reduced to 1300 RPM preferred) with a
7/16" socket, carefully rotate right hand
winding bolt clockwise, until counter
shows 2-3 turns.
This will keep the counterbalance cable
taut while adjusting the left hand side
counterbalance cable. Adjust left hand
counterbalance cable tension. (refer to
Step 28)
NOTE: Single spring applications require
no spring winding on left hand side, but
need cable tension adjusted.
NOTE: Ensure counterbalance cable
tension is equal for both sides prior to
fully winding spring(s) to appropriate
number of turns. If cable tension is
unequal refer to Step 28.

NOTE: Apply light pressure to the canoe clip on the
counter cover while winding spring(s).
See the Spring Turn chart.
For SINGLE SPRING applications, return to the right hand
side and carefully rotate the winding bolt head clockwise
until the counter shows the correct number of turns for
your door.
For DOUBLE SPRING applications, remain on the left
hand side and carefully rotate the winding bolt head
clockwise until the counter shows the correct number of
turns for your door. Then return to the right hand side and
wind the right hand spring to the required number of
turns.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERWIND.
After spring is wound, hold the lock nut (in back of end
bracket) stationary on the right hand side with a 7/16”
wrench while rotating the winding bolt clockwise until
snug. Tightening of the lock nut prevents spring from
unwinding. Repeat for opposite side for double spring

systems.
IMPORTANT: CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE VICE CLAMPS FROM
VERTICAL TRACKS. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF TURNS MAY BE REQUIRED.
AFTER REAR SUPPORT ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE (STEP
32), CHECK DOOR BALANCE. IF DOOR RAISES OFF FLOOR
UNDER SPRING TENSION ALONE, REDUCE SPRING
TENSION UNTIL DOOR RESTS ON THE FLOOR. IF THE
DOOR IS HARD TO RAISE OR DRIFTS DOWN ON ITS OWN,
ADD SPRING TENSION. AN UNBALANCED DOOR SUCH AS
THIS CAN CAUSE IDRIVE

OPERATION PROBLEMS.

PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
SPRINGS, ENSURE YOU’RE WINDING IN THE PROPER
DIRECTION AS STATED IN THE INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. OTHERWISE, THE SPRING FITTINGS MAY RELEASE
FROM SPRING IF NOT WOUND IN THE PROPER DIRECTION
AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
