Rear Support
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 HER 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, 5/16” x 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 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 5/16” x 2” hex head lag screws, and
make sure lag screws engaged solid structural
lumber.
NOTE: 26” angle must be attached to sound framing
members and nails should not be used.
Now, permanently attach the weather seal to both
door jambs and header. (Temporarily attached in
PREPARING THE OPENING on page 6). Avoid pushing
weather seal stop too tightly against face of door.
Place the windload label on the intermediate section,
as shown.
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.
Now, lift door and check its balance. Adjustments
to the required 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. A poorly balanced door can
cause garage door opener operation problems.
To adjust spring tension, fully close door. Apply vice
grips to track above third roller. Insert a winding bar
into the winding cone. On single spring doors, cable
tension must be maintained by placing vice grips
on torsion tube before loosening set screws in the
winding cone.
