Tools Needed:
INSTALLATION
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 with door.
NOTE: If rear supports are to be installed
over drywall, use 5/16” x 2” hex head lag
screws.
NOTE: If an idrive
®
opener is installed,
position horizontal tracks one hole above
level when securing it to rear supports.
Adjust weather seal or door stop (if
necessary) Now permanently attach the
weather seal or door stop to both door
jambs and header. (They were temporarily
attached in PREPARING THE OPENING on
page 10.) Avoid pushing weather seal or
door stop too tightly against face of door.
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 it’s balance.
Adjust, if door lifts by itself (hard to pull
down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to
pull down). Anytime spring adjustments
are made you must loosen the lock nuts
before beginning adjustments. Retighten
both lock nuts after completion. To adjust
spring(s), only add or remove 1/4 turn on
the counter at a time. Adjust both sides
equally.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE
MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURN FROM
SPECIFIED AMOUNT. IF THE DOOR STILL
DOES NOT OPERATE EASILY, LOWER THE
DOOR TO THE CLOSED POSITION, UNWIND
SPRING(S) TO ZERO, AND RECHECK THE
FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1.) Check the door for level.
2.) Check the TorqueMaster
®
spring tube
and flagangles for level and plumb.
3.) Check the distance between the
flagangles - must be door width
plus 3-3/8” to 3-1/2”.
4.) Check the counterbalance cables
for equal tension - adjust if
necessary.
5.) Rewind the spring(s).
6.) Make sure door isn’t rubbing on
jambs.
NOTE: As a safety feature, the right hand end
bracket cannot be disassembled for service
until the spring is completely unwound and the
counter cover reads zero.
After door installation is completed, refer to the
idrive
®
owner’s manual.
