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

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).
