INTRODUCTION
This manual's main function is to assist the installer in correctly mounting doors with due regard for safety,
operation, and sound construction practices. Reference must be made to construction codes in your area.
All Wayne-Dalton DS-350 Windload Rated Commercial Roll-Up Doors follow the general instructions contained
herein. Additional installation information for the specific door shipped is found with the packing slip and on
supplementary drawings. There are also bolt and small sealed parts bags with accessory lists, describing proper
