NoTe: If rear supports are to be installed over

make sure lag screws engaged solid structural
lumber.
NoTe: 26” Angle must be attached to sound framing
members and nails should not be used.
Adjust weather seal (if necessary) to both door jambs
and header. (Temporarily attached in PREPARING The
OPENING on page 6). Avoid pushing weather seal
stop too tightly against face of door.
Now, lift door and check its balance. Adjust, if door
lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult
to lift (easy to pull down).
NoTe: Windows will cause the top section to be
significantly heavier than the remaining sections.
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.
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.
To adjust spring tension, fully close door. Apply vice
grips to track above third roller. Insert a winding bar
into the winding cone. On single spring doors, cable
tension must be maintained by placing vice grips
on torsion tube before loosening set screws in the
winding cone. Push upward on the winding bar while
carefully loosening the set screws in the winding
cone.
bE PREPARED TO SUPPORT ThE FULL FORCE OF
ThE TORSION SPRING ONCE ThE SET SCREWS ARE
LOOSE.
Carefully adjust spring tension 1/4 turn. Retighten
both set screws in the winding cone and repeat
for the other side. Recheck door balance. DO
NOT ADjUST MORE ThAN 1/2 TURN FROM ThE
RECOMMENDED NUMbER OF TURNS.
