NOTE: Windows will cause the top section to be significantly heavier than the remaining sec-

tions. Wayne-Dalton attempts to balance the door at the top and bottom. To prevent any sudden

door acceleration between the top and bottom, we recommend motor operating all doors with

windows. Doors with windows in the top section should not be manually operated.
Remove any vice clamps. lift the door and check its balance. Adjust spring(s) if door lifts by itself

made, ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper position. An unbalanced door can cause idrive®
