Rear Support Continued...
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.
Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is
made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
ensure the ratchet and socket is set so
that it will tighten counter clockwise on
the right hand side, and clockwise on the
left hand side. Place the ratchet with 5/8”
socket onto the winding shaft, pull down
to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth
of the ratchet wheel pass over the pawl,
creating three “clicks”.
Remove Spring Tension: To remove
spring tension, ensure the ratchet and
socket is set so that it will tighten counter
clockwise on the right hand side and
clockwise on the left hand side. It is
recommended that a regular 5/8” wrench
be used. Place the wrench onto the
winding shaft. Pull down on the wrench
to relieve pressure between the pawl and
the ratchet wheel. Push in on the pawl to
allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to pass
by the pawl, as you carefully allow the
wrench to be rotated upward by the spring
tension. Release the pawl to allow it to
engage with the ratchet wheel.
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE
FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE
MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURNS (1 SPRING
TURN EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET
WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED
NUMBER OF TURNS SHOWN ON THE
SPRING TURN CHART.
If the door still does not operate easily,
lower the door into the closed position,
UNWIND SPRING(S) COMPLETELY, and
recheck the following items:
1.) Check the door for level.
2.) Check the TorqueMaster
®
tube and
flagangles for level and plumb.
3.) Check the distance between the
flagangles must be door width plus 3-3/8”
to 3-1/2”.
4.) Check the counterbalance cables for
equal tension, adjust if necessary.
5.) Rewind the spring(s).
6.) Make sure door isn’t rubbing on
jambs.
NOTE: If an idrive
®
was installed and
you have completed your rear support
installation, refer to the idrive Installation
