End brackets are right and left hand. You can identify the right hand end bracket by the discon-
nect cable guide hole in the top of the bracket.
Beginning with the right hand side, slide the end bracket onto the winding shaft so that the
splines in the ratchet wheel fit onto the winding shaft grooves.
Attach the end bracket to the flag angle using (1) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolt, (1) 5/16”
washer and (1) 5/16”-18 hex nut; then secure it to the jamb using (1) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screw.
Repeat for left hand end bracket
NOTE: If ratchet wheel falls out of end bracket, refer to illustration for proper insertion orienta-
tion.
NOTE: On single spring applications, no ratchet wheel is required on the left hand side.

and level the TorqueMaster ® spring tube. Drill 3/16” pilot holes into header for the lag screws.
fasten the center bearing bracket assembly to the header using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.

Starting on the right side, adjust the cable drum assembly by rotating the drum until the set
screw faces directly away from the header. TorqueMaster ® spring tube cam peak should be
pointing straight up.
loosen the set screw no more than 1/2 turn. Ensure counterbalance cable is aligned and seated
in the first and second grooves of the cable drum and pull on the end of the cable to remove all
cable slack.
Snug the set screw, and then tighten an additional 1-1/2 turns. Measure approximately 6” of
cable and cut off excess cable. Insert end of cable in hole of cable drum. Repeat for left hand
cable drum assembly.

Double check to ensure the counterbalance cable is aligned in the first and second grooves of
the cable drum (see step, Cable Adjustments). There are two methods for counting the spring
turns as you wind. One method is to identify the black tooth on the ratchet wheel inside of the
end bracket. When the wheel makes one revolution and the tooth returns to its starting point,
one turn has been made. The other method is to make a mark on the winding shaft (or socket)
and end bracket, and count your turns in this manner.
Starting on the right hand side, turn the pawl knob on the end bracket to the upper position.
using a ratchet wrench with a 5/8” (16mm) socket ( NOTE: A 3” (76mm) extension is also
recommended for added clearance from the horizontal angle), wind the spring by rotating the
winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching either the black tooth on the ratchet wheel or
the mark on the winding shaft.

After 2-3 turns, remove the ratchet wrench and adjust the cable on the left side. Ensure
counterbalance cables are in the first and second grooves of the cable drums in step, Cable
Adjustments.
NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on the left hand side, but cable
tension needs to be adjusted.

see the spring turn chart for the required number of turns:
for single spring applications:
Return to the right hand end bracket and continue winding the spring to the required number of
turns for your door. Place pawl knob in lower position.
for double spring applications:
Either use the black tooth on the ratchet wheel for winding reference or place a mark on the
winding shaft and end bracket. Place the ratchet wrench with 5/8” socket onto the left hand
winding shaft end. To wind the spring, rotate the winding shaft clockwise, while watching the
