Shake the torque tube gently to extend the winding shafts out about 5” on each side. For single spring applications,
there will be no left hand winding shaft in the torque tube. Lift the torque tube and rest it on top of agangles. Orient
torque tube so that back of opener is at against header/spring pad. Cable drums and torque tube are cam shaped to t
together only one way. To install the cable drum, slide the drum over the winding shaft until the drum seats against the
torque tube. The winding shaft must extend past the drum far enough to expose the splines and the groove. Align the
winding shaft groove with the round notch in the agangle. Repeat for opposite side for double spring applications. For
single spring applications, insert the left hand loose winding shaft into the left hand drum prior to sliding the drum over
the torque tube.
NOTE: On single spring applications, take care in handling the loose winding shaft (left side) so that it does not slide
back into the torque tube.
Beginning with the right hand side, lubricate entire circumference of the drive gear with the oil provided in the packet.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE OIL. Slide the drive gear onto the winding splines until it touches the agangles.
NOTE: No drive gear is required for the left side on single spring applications.
IMPORTANT! Warning tags must be securely attached to both end brackets.
Slide the right hand end bracket over the drive gear. Secure end bracket and the agangle to the jamb using
(2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.
