Winding springs
Tools: Step Ladder, Approved winding bars, 3/8” Wrench
23
Position a ladder slightly to the side of the spring so that the winding cone is easily accessible,
and so your body is not directly in line with the winding bars.
Check the label attached to the spring warning tag for the required number of complete turns to
balance your door.
Door height Approximate spring Turns
6’0” 6-7/8 Turns
6’3” 7-1/8 Turns
6’5” 7-1/4
6’6” 7-3/8 Turns
6’8” 7-1/2
6’9” 7-5/8 Turns
7’0” 7-7/8 Turns
7’3” 8 Turns
7’6” 8-1/4 Turns
7’9” 8-1/2 Turns
8’0” 8-3/4 Turns
Alternately inserting the winding bars into the holes of the springs winding cone, rotate the
winding cone upward toward the ceiling, 1/4 turn at a time, until the required number of com-
plete turns for your door height is achieved. As the last 1/8 to 1/4 turn is achieved, securely hold
the winding bar while tightening both set screws in the winding cone to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque
(once set screws contact the tube, tighten screws one full turn).
Carefully remove winding bar from winding cone. Repeat for the opposite spring. While holding
the door down to prevent it from raising unexpectedly in the event the spring(s) were over-
wound, carefully remove the locking pliers from the torsion tube and vertical tracks.
Adjustments to the number of turns stated may be necessary. If door rises off floor under spring
tension alone, reduce spring tension until door rests on the floor. If the door is hard to raise or
drifts down on its own, add spring tension.
NOTE: An unbalanced door such as this can cause garage door opener operation problems.
Rear support
Tools: Ratchet wrench, Socket: 1/2” 5/8”, Wrench: 1/2” 5/8”, (2) Vice
clamps, Tape measure, Level, Hammer, Step Ladder

Raise the door until the top section and half of the next section are in a horizontal position. Do
not raise door any further since rear of horizontal track is not yet supported.
WARNING WARNING
RAIsING DOOR fuRThER CAN REsuLT IN DOOR fALLING AND CAusE sEvERE
OR fATAL INjuRy.
Clamp a pair of vice clamps on the vertical tracks just above the second roller on one side, and
just below the second roller on the other side. This will prevent the door from raising or lowering
while installing the rear support.
using perforated angle (may not be supplied), (2) 5/16”-1- 5/8” hex head lag screws and (3)
5/16” bolts with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear support for horizontal tracks. Attach
horizontal tracks to the rear supports with 5/16”-18 x 1 hex bolts and nuts (may not be sup-
plied). Horizontal tracks must be level and parallel with door within 3/4” to 7/8” maximum of
door edge.
NOTE: If an idrive
® opener is installed, position horizontal tracks one hole above level when
securing it to the rear supports.

NOTE: If rear supports are to be installed over drywall, use (2) 5/16” x 2” hex head lag screws
and make sure lag screws engage solid structural lumber.
NOTE: 26” angle must be attached to sound framing members and nails should not be used.
now, permanently attach the weather seal on both door jambs and header (temporarily attached
in Preparing the Opening, in the pre-installation section of this manual). Avoid pushing weather
seal too tightly against face of door.

Trolley Arm Configuration
Tools: Tape measure, Level
Measure the curved ends of the horizontal track to determine if you have a 12” or 15” radius
horizontal track, as shown in fIG 1; if you have a low headroom door skip this step. Determine
center line of the door. Mark vertical line at this point on the header, as shown in fIG 4. Raise
the door slightly until the top section reaches the highest point of travel (high arc), as shown in
fIG 2 and fIG 3 for low headroom. using a level, mark this high arc point on the header where it
intersects the vertical center line, as shown in fIG 4. Hold the wall bracket’s bottom edge 1/2” -
1” (room permitting) above the high arc line and centered on the vertical center line, as shown in
fIG 4. Mark the wall bracket’s mounting holes on the header wall and then refer to your garage
door operator manual for pre-drilling and securing the wall bracket to header.
using the operator hook-up charts, refer to referenced illustrations for correct arm hook-up from
trolley to operator bracket. for low headroom, refer to operator hook-up chart for low headroom.
NOTE: Refer to your operator manual for specific details on how to assembly the curved and
straight arm, as shown in fIG 5 and fIG 6, and fIG 7 and fIG 8 for low headroom.
NOTE: Depending on your setup, you may or may not have to cut straight arm to accomplish
trolley settings.
Align hole in the appropriate arm with holes in operator bracket tabs, as shown in step, Trolley
Arm Hookup. Insert 5/16” x 1-1/4” clevis pin, making sure hole in clevis pin is outside of second
tab of operator bracket. Insert cotter pin into clevis pin hole and spread hairpin cotter to ensure
it will secure assembly.
