Position a ladder slightly to the side of spring so that
the winding cone is easily accessible, yet your body
is not in direct line with the winding bars.

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.
Alternately inserting the winding bars into the holes
of the spring’s winding cone, rotate the winding cone
upward toward ceiling, 1/4 turn at a time, until the
required number of complete turns for your door
height is achieved. As the last 1/4 turn is achieved,
securely hold winding bar while tightening both set
screws in winding cone to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque
(Once set screws contact the tube, tighten screws
one full turn).
Carefully remove winding bar from winding cone.
Repeat for the opposite spring. While holding the
door down, to prevent it from rising unexpectedly, in
the event the spring(s) were overwound, carefully
remove the locking clamps from the torsion tube and
the vertical tracks.
IMPORTANT: CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE LOCKING PLIERS
FROM THE TORSION TUBE AND LOCKING CLAMPS
FROM THE VERTICAL TRACKS.
Adjustments to the required from the number of
turns stated may be necessary. If door raises off floor
under spring tension alone, Reduce spring tension
until door rests on the floor. If the door is hard to
raise or drifts down on its own, add spring tension.
An unbalanced door such as this can cause garage
door opener operation problems.
