WARNING

COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST BE RELIEVED BEFORE REMOVING ANY HARDWARE. A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING IT’S ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Do not release the torsion spring tension unless you are qualified and experienced door technician, but have a professional door agency release the tension.

  1. Step 1: Close the door and place vice clamps onto the back legs of both vertical tracks, above the third roller to prevent the door from lifting as you unwind the springs. Use only approved winding bars available from your dealer. Do not use undersized steel rods, screw drivers or anything else to unwind the springs. Position the ladder just off to the side
    of the winding cone. The winding cone should be easy to reach without putting your body directly in front of it.

  2. Step 2: Insert a winding bar into one of the holes in the winding cone. Exert upward pressure. Using caution, loosen the two (2) set screws in the winding cone. Be prepared to support the full torsional force of the spring when the set screws are loosened.

  3. Step 3: Once set screws are loose, slowly and carefully lower the winding rod until it rests against the door. Insert other winding bar into the upper hole. Push up and remove lower bar. Carefully lower upper winding bar until it rests against the door. Repeat process until all tension is relieved. If your door is equipped with two (2) torsion springs, follow the same procedure to relieve tension on the second spring.

  4. Step 4: Remove vice clamps from tracks, unbolt torsion shaft assembly and remove from work area.

  • Start by first removing the top row of center hinge(s).
  • With assistance, hold the top section to keep it from falling and remove the top brackets. With assistance, lift the top section out of the opening and remove it from the work area. Repeat for all remaining sections.
  • After door is disassembled, unbolt both track assemblies from the jambs and remove all material from the work area. You can neatly dispose of the old door by placing it in the carton of your new door.
  • Clean up area and complete “Preparing the Opening” “P5” on page 10 before installing the new door.

Preparing the Opening

WARNING FAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACH A SUITABLE MOUNTING PAD TO STRUCTURALLY SOUND FRAMING COULD CAUSE SPRINGS TO VIOLENTLY PULL MOUNTING PAD FROM WALL, RESULTING IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a new door, complete all steps in PREPARING THE OPENING.

For detailed technical information regarding the opening preparation, refer to the DASMA Technical Data Sheet TDS #161 Connecting Garage Door Jambs to Building. Framing located at www.dasma.com.
The inside of your garage door opening should be framed with wood jambs and header. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top of the opening for TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2”.

IMPORTANT : CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.

  • The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framing members. Do not place jambs and header over drywall, paneling, etc. Heads of fasteners must be flush or below jamb and header surface, so they do not interfere with installation or operation of new door.
  • TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface must be firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
  • The mounting surface must be 2” x 6” lumber minimum (Select southern yellow pine lumber. Do not use lumber marked as spruce-pine-fur or SPF).
  • The mounting surface must be securely attached to block or concrete wall with four (4) 3/8” masonry anchors or four (4) 5/16” x 4” lag screws for a wood structure.
  • NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.
  • WEATHER SEAL: Fit weather seal (may not be included) to fit the jambs and header. Align the edge of the weather seals an 1/8” to 1/4” inside the edge of the opening. Temporarily nail the weather seal to the jambs to keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
  • NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jambs at this time. Permanent installation will be done in Step 39.
  • HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the space needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be motor operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required. NOTE: 6” LHR Conversion Kit is available for 12” Radius only. Contact your local Wayne-Dalton® dealer.
  • BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

Securing Door for Spring Winding

WARNING FAILURE TO PLACE VICE CLAMPS ONTO VERTICAL TRACK CAN ALLOW DOOR TO RAISE AND CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

  • Place vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just above the third roller. This is to prevent the garage door from raising while winding counterbalance spring(s)
  • IMPORTANT : DO NOT USE IMPACT GUN TO WIND SPRING(S)

Cable Adjustments

  • Rotate the cable drum until the set screw faces directly away from the header. TorqueMaster® spring tube cam peak should be pointing straight up.
  • Beginning with the right side, loosen the set screw enough to adjust cable, approximately 2 turns. Using locking pliers, pull on the end of the cable to remove all cable slack.
  • Check to ensure the cable is aligned and seated in the first groove of the cable drum. Snug the set screw, then tighten an additional 1-1/2 turns. Cut excess cable.

Winding Bolt Rotation

  • See chart in Step 37 for proper spring tension setting.
  • Beginning with the right hand side, ensure the cable is in the first groove of the cable drum. Apply light pressure to the canoe clip on counter cover while winding springs.
  • Using a power drill (high torque/gear reduced to 1300 RPM preferred) with a 7/16″ socket, carefully rotate right hand winding bolt clockwise, until counter shows 2-3 turns.
  • This will keep the counterbalance cable taut while adjusting the left hand side counterbalance cable. Adjust left hand counterbalance cable tension. (refer to Step 35)
  • NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on left hand side, but need cable tension adjusted.
  • NOTE: Ensure counterbalance cable tension is equal for both sides prior to fully winding spring(s) to appropriate number of turns. If cable tension is unequal refer to Step 35.

Setting Spring Tension

NOTE: Apply light pressure to the canoe clip on the counter cover while winding spring(s). See the Spring Turn chart.
For SINGLE SPRING applications, return to the right hand side and carefully rotate the winding bolt head clockwise until the counter shows the correct number of turns for your door.
For DOUBLE SPRING applications, remain on the left hand side and carefully rotate the winding bolt head clockwise until the counter shows the correct number of turns for your door. Then return to the right hand side and wind the right hand spring to the required number of turns.

IMPORTANT : DO NOT OVERWIND.
After spring is wound, hold the lock nut (in back of end bracket) stationary on the right hand side with a 7/16″ wrench while rotating the winding bolt clockwise until snug. Tightening of the lock nut prevents spring from unwinding. Repeat for opposite side for double spring TorqueMaster® systems.
IMPORTANT : CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE VICE CLAMPS FROM VERTICAL TRACKS. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF TURNS MAY BE REQUIRED. AFTER REAR SUPPORT ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE (STEP 39), CHECK DOOR BALANCE. 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 IDRIVE® OPERATION PROBLEMS.

NOTE : For 7’ high doors, 8’, 9’, 10’, 16’ or 18’ wide with windows, the recommended number of spring turns is 15.

Drum Wrap Installation

Drum wraps are identified as right and left hand.
To install, place the drum wrap over the cable drum and under the idrive® disconnect cable (right hand side). Align the outside flange over the outside edge of the cable drum and push the drum wrap down onto the cable drum. Repeat for left hand side.
NOTE: Drum wraps must be installed to prevent cable from possibly becoming tangled.
IMPORTANT: RIGHT AND LEFT HAND ARE ALWAYS DETERMINED FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING LOOKING OUT.

Rear Support

WARNING KEEP HORIZONTAL TRACK PARALLEL AND WITHIN 3/4″ MAKERWISE DOOR COULD FALL, RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
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 RAISING DOOR FURTHER CAN RESULT IN DOOR FALLING AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Clamp a pair of vice clamps on the vertical tracks just above the second roller on one side, 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, 5/16″ x 1-5/8″ hex head lag screws and 5/16″ bolts

Rear Support Continued

  • with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear support for horizontal tracks. Attach horizontal tracks to the rear supports with 5/16”-18 x 1-1/4” hex bolts and nuts (may not be supplied). Horizontal tracks must be level and parallel with door.

  • NOTE: If rear supports are to be installed over drywall, use 5/16” x 2” hex head lag screws.

  • NOTE: If an idrive® opener will be installed, position horizontal tracks one hole above level when securing it to rear supports.

  • Adjust weather seal (if necessary). Now permanently attach the weather seal to both door jambs and header. (Temporarily attached in PREPARING THE OPENING on page 10.) Avoid pushing weather seal too tightly against face of door.
    Now, lift door and check it’s balance. Adjust, 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 you must loosen the lock nuts to begin with and retighten bothlock  nuts afterwards. To adjust spring(s), only add or remove 1/4 turn on the counter at a time. Adjust both sides equally.

  •  IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE

  • IMPORTANT: Do not add or remove more than 1 spring t urn from the specified amo unt. If the door still does not operate easil y, lower the door into the closed position , UNWIND SPRING(S) TO ZERO, and recheck the following items

Cleaning

Cleaning Your Garage Door

  • IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
  • While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur when a door has been exposed to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a result of direct exposure to sunlight.
  • Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing finish of the garage door, a periodic washing of the garage door is recommended.
  • The following cleaning solution is recommended
  • A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm water will aid in the removal of most dirt.
  • NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for use in general cleaning of garage doors.
  • NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weather stripping on both sides and top of door.
  • CAUTION: NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.

GLASS CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean with a mild detergent solution (same as above) and a soft cloth. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly.

ACRYLIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean acrylic glazing with nonabrasive soap or detergent and plenty of water. Use your bare hands to feel and dislodge any caked on particles. A soft, grit- free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloths that will scratch the acrylic glazing. Dry glazing with a clean damp chamois.
NOTE: DO NOT USE any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-based cleaners of any kind.

Painting

Surface Preparation for Painting

  • Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a fine steel wool pad, saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove any loose particles and any soapy film residue.

  • Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or No. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased.

  • If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer, specifically intended for galvanized surfaces, to protect the area from corrosion. Allow for drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat. The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the factory-applied finish must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint.
    Painting

  • After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then coated immediately with premium quality latex house paint. Follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the exposed area.

NOTES

  1. Repainting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally beyond the door manufacturer’s control.
  2. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
  3. Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to acceptable weather and temperature conditions in which to paint.
