INSTALLATION
22
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. Check the label attached to the
spring warning tag for the required number
of complete turns to balance your door.
6’0” Door Height = Approx 7-1/8 Turns
6’3” Door Height = Approx 7-1/2 Turns
6’6” Door Height = Approx 7-3/4 Turns
6’9” Door Height = Approx 8 Turns
7’0” Door Height = Approx 8-1/4 Turns
7’3” Door Height = Approx 8-5/8 Turns
7’6” Door Height = Approx 8-7/8 Turns
7’9” Door Height = Approx 9-1/4 Turns
8’0” Door Height = Approx 9-1/2 Turns
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. Proceed to wind the second spring in
the same manner. 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.
