bAlANCING DOOR:
lift the door and check its balance. adjust
springs, if door lifts by itself (hard to pull
down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to
pull down). anytime spring adjustments
are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in
the upper position (see illustration). an
unbalanced door can cause idrive ® or
Torquemaster ® Plus operation problems.

Close the door and place vice clamps
onto both vertical tracks just above the
third roller. This is to prevent the garage
door from raising while adjusting the
counterbalance spring(s).

To Add Spring Tension: The ratchet
wheel is made of 10 teeth. To add spring
tension, ensure the ratchet wrench is set
so that it will tighten counter clockwise
on the right hand side, and clockwise on
the left hand side. Place the ratchet
wrench with 5/8” socket onto the winding
shaft, pull down to add 3/10 of a turn.
Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel
pass over the pawl, creating three
“clicks”.
To Remove Spring Tension: To remove
spring tension, ensure the ratchet wrench
is set so that it will tighten counter
clockwise on the right hand side and
clockwise on the left hand side. Place the
ratchet wrench with 5/8” socket onto the
winding shaft. Pull down on the ratchet to
relieve pressure between the pawl and
the ratchet wheel. Push in on the pawl to
allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to
pass by the pawl, as you carefully allow
the ratchet wrench to be rotated upward
by the spring tension. Release the pawl to
allow it to engage with the ratchet wheel.
Remove the vice clamps from the vertical
tracks, re-check door balance and adjust
if necessary. When door is balanced and
adjusted properly, place the ratchet pawl
knobs in the active position (lower
position).
