End Brackets
Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, 1/2” Wrench, Step ladder

IMPORTANT: WARNING TAGS MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO BOTH END BRACKETS.
End brackets are right and left hand. You can identify the right hand end bracket by the discon-
nect cable guide hole in the top of the bracket.
Beginning with the right hand side, slide the end bracket onto the winding shaft so that the
splines in the ratchet wheel fit onto the winding shaft grooves.
Attach the end bracket to the flag angle using (1) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolt, (1) 5/16”
washer and (1) 5/16”-18 hex nut; then secure it to the jamb using (1) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screw.
Repeat for left hand end bracket
NOTE: If ratchet wheel falls out of end bracket, refer to illustration for proper insertion orienta-
tion.
NOTE: On single spring applications, no ratchet wheel is required on the left hand side.

SPRING TUBE MUST BE LEVEL BEFORE SECURING CENTER
BEARING BRACKET ASSEMBLY TO HEADER.
To locate the center bearing bracket assembly, mark the header halfway between the flag angles
and level the TorqueMaster

spring tube. Drill 3/16” pilot holes into header for the lag screws.
Fasten the center bearing bracket assembly to the header using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.
Securing Door for Spring Winding
Tools: Vice Clamps
23
Place vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just above the third roller. This is to prevent the
garage door from rising while winding counterbalance springs.
WARNING WARNING
FAILURE TO PLACE VICE CLAMPS ONTO VERTICAL TRACK CAN ALLOW DOOR
TO RAISE AND CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

Starting on the right side, adjust the cable drum assembly by rotating the drum until the set
screw faces directly away from the header. TorqueMaster
®
spring tube cam peak should be
pointing straight up.
Loosen the set screw no more than 1/2 turn. Ensure counterbalance cable is aligned and seated
in the first and second grooves of the cable drum and pull on the end of the cable to remove all
cable slack.
Snug the set screw, and then tighten an additional 1-1/2 turns. Measure approximately 6” of
cable and cut off excess cable. Insert end of cable in hole of cable drum. Repeat for left hand
cable drum assembly.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THE CABLE IS ALIGNED AND SEATED IN THE FIRST AND SECOND
GROOVES OF THE CABLE DRUM PRIOR TO WINDING SPRINGS.
NOTE: Illustration shows the right hand TorqueMaster

WARNING WARNING
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER GLOVES BE WORN WHILE WINDING THE
TORQUEMASTER
®
PLUS SPRINGS. FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE
INJURY TO HANDS.
Double check to ensure the counterbalance cable is aligned in the first and second grooves of
the cable drum (see step, Cable Adjustments). There are two methods for counting the spring
turns as you wind. One method is to identify the black tooth on the ratchet wheel inside of the
end bracket. When the wheel makes one revolution and the tooth returns to its starting point,
one turn has been made. The other method is to make a mark on the winding shaft (or socket)
and end bracket, and count your turns in this manner.
Starting on the right hand side, turn the pawl knob on the end bracket to the upper position.
Using a ratchet wrench with a 5/8” (16mm) socket (NOTE: A 3” (76mm) extension is also
recommended for added clearance from the horizontal angle), wind the spring by rotating the
winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching either the black tooth on the ratchet wheel or
the mark on the winding shaft.
IMPORTANT: PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER POSITION TO ADD/ REMOVE REQUIRED NUMBER
OF SPRING TURNS.
After 2-3 turns, remove the ratchet wrench and adjust the cable on the left side. Ensure
counterbalance cables are in the first and second grooves of the cable drums in step, Cable
Adjustments.
NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on the left hand side, but cable
tension needs to be adjusted.
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE CABLE TENSION MUST BE EQUAL ON BOTH SIDES PRIOR TO
FULLY WINDING SPRINGS.
See the spring turn chart for the required number of turns:
For single spring applications:
Return to the right hand end bracket and continue winding the spring to the required number of
turns for your door. Place pawl knob in lower position.
For double spring applications:
Either use the black tooth on the ratchet wheel for winding reference or place a mark on the
winding shaft and end bracket. Place the ratchet wrench with 5/8” socket onto the left hand
winding shaft end. To wind the spring, rotate the winding shaft clockwise, while watching the
