spring tension. A poorly balanced door can cause garage door operator operation problems.
To adjust spring tension, fully close door. Apply vice grips to track above third track roller.
Insert a winding rod into the winding cone. On single spring doors, counterbalance lift
cable tension must be maintained by placing vice grips on torsion shaft before loosening
set screws in the winding cone. Push upward on the winding rod while carefully loosening
the set screws in the winding cone. BE PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE FULL FORCE OF THE
TORSION SPRING ONCE THE SET SCREWS ARE LOOSE. Carefully adjust spring tension 1/4
turn. Retighten both set screws in the winding cone and repeat for the other side. Recheck
door balance DO NOT ADJUST MORE THAN 1/2 TURN FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER
OF TURNS.
If door still does not balance correctly, contact a qualified door agency. If the door still does
not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position, UNWIND THE SPRING(S) FULLY
(Reference the insert “Removing The Old Door/Preparing The Opening” section on torsion
spring removal), and recheck the following the items:
1.) Check the door for level.
2.) Check the torsion shaft for level.
3.) Check the track spacing.
4.) Check the counterbalance lift cables for equal tension.
5.) Check the track for potential obstruction of the track rollers.
6.) Clamp locking pliers onto track and rewind springs.
IMPORTANT: IF DOOR STILL DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, THEN CONTACT A TRAINED
DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.
