Position a ladder slightly to the side of
spring so that the winding cone is easily
accessible, yet your body is not in direct
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.
PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAKING
ADjUSTMENTS TO ThE SPRINGS, ENSURE
YOU’RE WINDING IN ThE PROPER
DIRECTION AS STATED IN ThE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
OThERWISE, ThE SPRING fITTINGS MAY
RELEASE fROM SPRING If NOT WOUND
IN ThE PROPER DIRECTION AND COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE OR fATAL INjURY.
Alternately inserting the winding bars into
the holes of the spring’s winding cone,
rotate the winding cone upward toward
ceiling, 1/4 turn at a time, until the
required number of complete turns for
your door height is achieved. As the last
1/4 turn is achieved, securely hold
winding bar while tightening both set
screws in 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. Proceed to wind the
second spring in the same manner. While
holding the door down, to prevent it from
rising unexpectedly, in the event the
spring(s) were overwound, carefully
remove the locking clamps from the
torsion tube and the vertical tracks.
imPoRTaNT: CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE
LOCKING PLIERS fROM ThE TORSION
TUBE AND LOCKING CLAMPS fROM ThE
VERTICAL TRACKS.
Adjustments from the number of turns
stated may be necessary. If door raises
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. An unbalanced door such as this
can cause garage door opener operation
problems.
