TORQUEMASTER
®
PLUS SPRINGS: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster

end brackets
above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of
spring failure or forceful manual operation.
TORSION SPRINGS: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a
trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
EXTENSION SPRINGS: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension
spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
2. DOOR BALANCE: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door opener,
use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with
the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance. Adjust Torquemaster
®
or
Extension spring(s), if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to
pull down). DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust Torquemaster
®
or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question
about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door
systems technician.
3. LUBRICATION: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door rollers are rotating
freely when opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, re-
moving dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant)
hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon rollers, door
track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.
