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.
Lift the door and check its balance. Adjust
springs, 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,
ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper
position (see illustration). An unbalanced door
can cause idrive

operation problems.
IMPORTANT! TO ADJUST SPRINGS, ONLY ADD
OR REMOVE A MAXIMUM OF 3/10 OF A TURN
(THREE TEETH ON THE RATCHET WHEEL) AT A
TIME. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED
EQUALLY ON DOUBLE SPRING DOORS.
Close the door and place vice clamps onto
both vertical tracks just above the third roller.
This is to prevent the garage door from raising
while adjusting the counterbalance spring(s).
To Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is
made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
ensure the ratchet wrench is set so that it will
tighten counter clockwise on the right hand
side, and clockwise on the left hand side.
Place the ratchet wrench with 5/8” socket
onto the winding shaft, pull down to add 3/10
of a turn. Watch as three teeth of the ratchet
wheel pass over the pawl, creating three
“clicks”.
To Remove Spring Tension: To remove spring
tension, ensure the ratchet wrench is set so
that it will tighten counter clockwise on the
right hand side and clockwise on the left hand
side. Place the ratchet wrench with 5/8”
socket onto the winding shaft. Pull down on
the ratchet to relieve pressure between the
pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push in on the
pawl to allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to
pass by the pawl, as you carefully allow the
ratchet wrench to be rotated upward by the
spring tension. Release the pawl to allow it to
engage with the ratchet wheel.
Remove the vice clamps from the vertical
tracks, re-check door balance and adjust if
necessary. When door is balanced and
adjusted properly, place the ratchet pawl
knobs in the active position (lower position).
