Raise the door until the top section and
half of the next section are in a horizontal
position. Do not raise door any further
since rear of horizontal track is not yet
supported.
RAISING DOOR FURTHER CAN RESULT IN
DOOR FALLING AND CAUSE SEVERE OR
FATAL INJURY.
Clamp a pair of vice clamps on the vertical
tracks just above the second roller on one
side, just below the second roller on the
other side. This will prevent the door from
raising or lowering while installing the rear
support.
Using perforated angle, (2) 5/16”-1 - 5/8”
hex head lag screws and 5/16” bolts
with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate
rear support for horizontal tracks. Attach
horizontal tracks to the rear supports with
5/16”-18 x 1-1/4” hex bolts and nuts
(may not be supplied). Horizontal tracks
must be level and parallel to the door
within 3/4” maximum of door edge.
KEEP HORIZONTAL TRACK PARALLEL
AND WITHIN 3/4” MAXIMUM OF DOOR
EDGE, OTHERWISE DOOR COULD FALL,
RESULTING IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SUPPORT THE
WEIGHT OF THE DOOR ON ANY PART OF
THE HORIZONTAL TRACK HANGER THAT
CANTILEVERS 4” OR MORE BEYOND A
SOUND FRAMING MEMBER.
NOTE: If rear supports are to be installed
over drywall, use (2) 5/16” x 2” hex head
lag screws.
NOTE: If an idrive
®
opener is installed,
position horizontal tracks one hole above
level when securing it to rear supports.
NOTE: 26” angle must be attached to
sound framing members and nails should
not be used.
Now, permanently attach the weather
seal on both door jambs and header
(Temporarily attached in PREPARING
THE OPENING on page 6). Avoid pushing
weather seal too tightly against face of
door.
Place the windload label on the
intermediate section, as shown.
Now, lift door and check it’s balance.
Adjust, if door lifts by itself (hard to pull
down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to
pull down). Anytime spring adjustments
are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in
the upper position to add/remove required
number of spring turns (refer to step 26).
To adjust springs, only add or remove a
maximum of 3/10 of a turn (three teeth of
ratchet wheel) at a time. Both sides need
to be adjusted equally on double spring
doors.
