Tools Needed:
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.
6’6” Door Height = Approx 7 Turns
7’0” Door Height = Approx 7-1/2 Turns
8’0” Door Height = Approx 8-3/4 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.
