spring applications, the right hand end

bracket will always have a drive gear,

counter gear, counter cover, and a winding

bolt head. The left hand end bracket will

have no gears, counter cover, or winding

bolt head. The hole for the winding bolt

head will be plugged.

For double springs, both the right hand

and left hand end brackets will always

have a drive gear, counter gear, counter

cover and a winding bolt head.

Step 1: If you have a black counter

cover: Place a mark on the drive gear

tooth and an adjacent mark on the right

hand end bracket (Fig. 1). loosen the lock

nut 1/4 turn using a 7/16” wrench and

continue with step 2.

If you have a gray counter cover:

loosen the lock nut 1/4 turn using a 7/16”

wrench and continue with step 2.

Step 2: using an electric drill (high

torque / gear reduced to 1300 rpm

preferred) with a 7/16” hex head driver,

unwind the right hand winding bolt head

counterclockwise (Fig. 2) and count the

number of turns the mark on the drive

gear passes the adjacent mark on the end

bracket. Referencing the chart below, by

door height, stop unwinding the spring

once the counted turns have reached the

listed number of turns.

6’-0” Door height = 14 turns

6’-3” Door height = 14 1/2 turns

6’-5” Door height = 15 turns

6’-6” Door height = 15 turns

6’-8” Door height = 15 1/2 turns

6’-9” Door height = 15 1/2 turns

7’-0” Door height = 16 turns

7’-3” Door height = 16 1/2 turns

7’-6” Door height = 17 turns

7’-9” Door height = 17 1/2 turns
