Removing an Existing Door and Preparing the Opening

IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
WARNING
A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN, USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS, RELEASE THE SPRING TENSION.
To avoid possible injury and to insure proper installation, it’s highly recommended that you read and fully understand the complete instructions on removing an Existing Door & Preparing the Opening. These are available for download at www.Wayne-Dalton.com or at your local Wayne Dalton Sales Center.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU JUST REMOVED YOUR EXISTING DOOR OR YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW DOOR, COMPLETE ALL STEPS IN PREPARING THE OPENING.
To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-fit construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA technical data sheets #156, #161 and #164 at www.dasma.com.
The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed with wood jamb and header material. The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framing members. 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″ (89 mm).
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.
For TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2″ x 6″) must be firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.

2

NOTE: Drill a 3/16″ pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if necessary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12″ to 18″ apart.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8″ to 1/4″ inside the header edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header and 1/8″ to 1/4″ inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12″ to 18″ apart.
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″ low headroom 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.

IMPORTANT: VERIFY THAT THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE TRAVEL PATH OF THE DOOR SECTIONS OR COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES. IMPORTANT: INSPECT EACH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE MAKING SURE IT IS SEATED PROPERLY ONTO THE CABLE DRUM AND THAT BOTH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES HAVE EQUAL TENSION. PRIOR TO WINDING SPRING(S), CHECK COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES FOR EQUAL TENSION: 1. Attach locking pliers to track above top roller. 2. Grasp cable at approximate mid-door height location. 3. Draw cable toward you about 1/2″ to 1″ and release, noting the response of the cable. 4. Repeat above steps for other cable. 5. Adjust cable tension as needed until right and left cables both respond the same.
WARNING
WINDING SPRING IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

12

WARNING
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER GLOVES BE WORN WHILE WINDING SPRINGS. FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO HANDS.

NOTE: A 3″ ratchet extension is recommended for added clearance from the horizontal track angle.
IMPORTANT: PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER POSITION TO ADD / REMOVE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS.
There are two methods for counting the spring turns as you wind. One method is to identify the black tooth on the ratchet wheel inside of the end bracket. When the wheel makes one revolution and the tooth returns to its starting point, one turn has been made. The other method is to make a mark on the winding shaft (or socket) and end bracket, and count your turns in this manner.
Check the label attached to the spring warning tag or the Winding Spring Turn Chart (below) for the required number of complete turns to balance your door.
Starting on the right hand side, turn the pawl knob on the end bracket to the upper position. Using a ratchet wrench with a 5/8″ socket and a 3″ ratchet extension, wind the spring by rotating the winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching either the black tooth on the ratchet wheel or the mark on the winding shaft. After 2 to 3 turns, remove the ratchet wrench and adjust the counterbalance lift cable on the left side. Ensure counterbalance lift cables are in the first groove of the cable drums, as shown in Step Adjusting Counterbalance Lift Cable.
NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on the left hand side, but lift cable tension needs to be adjusted.
FOR SINGLE SPRING APPLICATIONS: Return to the right hand end bracket and continue winding the spring to the required number of turns for your door following the double spring instructions below. Place pawl knob in lower position.
FOR DOUBLE SPRING APPLICATIONS: Either use the black tooth on the ratchet wheel for winding reference or place a mark on the winding shaft and end bracket. Place the ratchet wrench with 5/8″ socket and a 3″ ratchet extension onto the left hand winding shaft end. To wind the spring, rotate the winding shaft clockwise, while watching the black tooth on the ratchet wheel or the mark on the winding shaft. Rotate the winding shaft to the required number of winding turns for your door. Then return to the right hand side and wind the right hand spring to the required number of turns. Place pawl knob in lower position on both sides.
IMPORTANT: MARK THE NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS ONTO THE END BRACKET WARNING TAG.

23 Balancing Door
NOTE: Windows may cause the top section to be significantly heavier than the remaining sections. Wayne Dalton attempts to balance the door at the top and bottom. To prevent any sudden door acceleration between the top and bottom, we recommend motor operating all doors with windows.
Remove any locking pliers. Lift the door and check its balance. Adjust spring(s) if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (drifts down). Anytime spring adjustments are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper position. An unbalanced door can cause TorqueMaster® Plus operation problems.
Close the door and place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above the third track roller. This is to prevent the garage door from rising while adjusting the spring(s).
IMPORTANT: TO ADJUST SPRINGS, ONLY ADD OR REMOVE A MAXIMUM OF 3/10 OF A TURN (THREE TEETH ON THE RATCHET WHEEL) AT A TIME. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED EQUALLY ON DOUBLE SPRING DOORS.
WARNING
WINDING SPRINGS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
ADD SPRING TENSION: The ratchet wheel is made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension, tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. Place pawl knob in upper position. Place the ratchet with 5/8″ socket and 3″ ratchet extension onto the winding shaft, to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel pass over the pawl, creating three “clicks”. Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring applications, repeat the same process for the other side.
REMOVE SPRING TENSION: To remove spring tension, place a regular 5/8″ wrench onto the winding shaft. Place pawl knob in upper position.
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.
Pull down on the wrench 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 wrench to be rotated upward by the spring tension, release the pawl to allow it to engage with the ratchet wheel. Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring applications, repeat the same process for the other side.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURN (1 SPRING TURN EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF TURNS SHOWN ON THE WINDING SPRING TURN CHART.
If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position, unwind spring(s) completely, and recheck the following items:
1.) Is the door level?
2.) Are the TorqueMaster® spring tube and flag angles level and plumb?
3.) Does the distance between the flag angles equal door width plus 3-3/8″ to 3-1/2″?
4.) Do the counterbalance lift cables have equal tension? Adjust if necessary.
5.) Rewind the spring(s).
6.) Make sure door is not rubbing on jambs.

TorqueMaster® Plus Reset Instructions
IMPORTANT: THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. SOME LIGHTER WEIGHT DOORS ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH A SINGLE COUNTERBALANCE SPRING. IF THAT COUNTERBALANCE SPRING BREAKS AND THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR’S FORCE SETTINGS ARE NOT ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS, THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR MAY THEN HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF LIFTING THE DOOR TO THE OPEN POSITION, DESPITE THE BROKEN COUNTERBALANCE SPRING. THIS SCENARIO WILL CAUSE THE COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES TO GO SLACK AND ENGAGE THE TORQUEMASTER® PLUS SAFETY SYSTEM. IF A PERSON IS UNAWARE OF THE SLACK COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES AND THE ENGAGED TORQUEMASTER® PLUS SAFETY SYSTEM AND ACTIVATES THE MISADJUSTED DRAWBAR OPERATOR, DAMAGE WILL LIKELY OCCUR TO THE DOOR AND DRAWBAR OPERATOR. THE POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS THAT THE PERSON ACTIVATING THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR UNDER THIS SCENARIO COULD BE SEVERELY INJURED.
WARNING
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESET THE TORQUEMASTER® PLUS SYSTEM. IF IN QUESTION ABOUT ANY OF THE PROCEDURES, DO NOT PERFORM THE WORK. INSTEAD, HAVE A QUALIFIED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN RESET THE SYSTEM.
WARNING
TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, DO NOT STAND OR WALK UNDER A MOVING DOOR, OR PERMIT ANYONE TO STAND OR WALK UNDER AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED DOOR.
This door is equipped with a TorqueMaster® plus system, a safety feature which prevents the door from rapidly descending in case of spring failure or forceful manual operation. If the system engages with the door in the open position, personal items that are left unattended in the garage or home are at risk to theft. To ensure the safekeeping of these items, close the garage door.
Typical signs of an engaged system.
Single spring system: Visually inspect the TorqueMaster® Plus right hand end bracket to confirm that the system has engaged (see illustration). If the system is engaged, then the door will not close. If the drawbar operator force settings were properly set during the initial installation, the door will not open. If the drawbar operator can physically overcome the weight of the door and lift it to the open position, then the counterbalance lift cables will be slack. If the system is engaged, DO NOT attempt to make the repairs. Instead, have a trained door system technician make the necessary repairs to counterbalance lift cables, spring assemblies and other hardware.
Double spring system: Visually inspect the TorqueMaster® Plus end brackets to confirm that the system has engaged (see illustration). Door makes a distinct “clicking” noise upon being opened. If the system is engaged, carefully follow the reset instructions below or refer to the reset tag (attached to right hand end bracket) to reset the TorqueMaster® Plus system.
Resetting an engaged TorqueMaster® Plus double spring system only:
1. First, locate and visually inspect the TorqueMaster® plus end bracket(s) to confirm that the system has engaged (see illustration).
2. With the door in the fully closed position, place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above the third track roller. Disengage the drawbar operator (if installed) by pulling or placing the emergency disconnect in the manually operated position.
3. With assistance, carefully remove locking pliers and raise the door to the fully open position.
4. Place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just below the bottom track roller on both sides.
5. Now is a good time to remove vehicles or personal items from garage to provide clear access to end brackets.
6. For single spring applications: Flip the ratchet pawl knob on the right hand end bracket to the upper position. For double spring applications: Flip the ratchet pawl knob on both end brackets to the upper position (see illustration).
7. Raise door 2″-3″ and then lower door. Repeat this process until the system resets (see disengaged system illustrations).
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE DOOR.
8. Cautiously remove the locking pliers from the vertical tracks. With assistance lower door.
Checking springs for tension:
9. Starting on the right hand side, place a ratchet wrench, 5/8″ socket and a 3″ extension on the TorqueMaster® Plus winding shaft (see illustration). Ensure ratchet is set so that it will tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side, and clockwise on the left hand side. If tension is present, remove the ratchet and check the left hand side. If spring(s) have tension, the door will need to be balanced; refer to step, Balancing Door, to do this. If no spring tension is present, contact a qualified trained door system technician to replace the spring(s).

IMPORTANT: TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS/ REPAIRS TO COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, SPRING ASSEMBLIES AND OTHER HARDWARE.

MAINTENANCE

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 weatherstrips on both sides and top of door.
CAUTION
NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
NOTE: Do not use any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solventbased cleaners of any kind. To clean polycarbonate windows, see www .Wayne-Dalton.com.
Painting Your Garage Door
Refer to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass or Steel Door Sections”.
Maintaining The Finish On Your Garage Door
If the factory finish is beginning to fade, the door may require a field applied top clear coat. Depending on environment and usage, this may be necessary after 1 to 3 years of use. Refer to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass Or Steel Door Sections”.
Operation And Maintenance
OPERATING YOUR GARAGE DOOR: Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual.

steps once a month, and have the door professionally inspected once a year. Review your Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual for the garage door. These instructions are available at no charge from Wayne Dalton, a division of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope, OH., 44660, or at www.Wayne- Dalton.com. For additional information on garage door/operator maintenance go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.
Monthly Inspections:
1. Visual Inspection: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any material found not to be structurally sound must be replaced. It may be necessary to uninstall part or all of the door assembly in order to replace defective material. Refer to the supplemental instructions “Removing an Existing Door / Preparing the Opening” at www.Wayne-Dalton. com. Inspect the spring(s), counterbalance lift cables, track rollers, pulleys, rear back hangs and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws and/or bolts, except on bottom corner brackets or on the counterbalance assembly. Check exterior surface of the door sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has not shifted right or left in the opening. If you suspect problems, contact a trained door system technician.
WARNING
GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS, COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, BRACKETS, AND OTHER HARDWARE ATTACHED TO THE SPRINGS ARE UNDER EXTREME TENSION, AND IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. ONLY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN SHOULD ADJUST THEM, BY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
NEVER REMOVE, ADJUST, OR LOOSEN THE BOLTS, SCREWS AND/OR LAG SCREWS ON THE COUNTERBALANCE (END BEARING BRACKETS, DRUMS OR SPRING SYSTEM) OR BOTTOM CORNER BRACKETS OF THE DOOR. THESE BRACKETS ARE CONNECTED TO THE SPRING(S) AND ARE UNDER EXTREME TENSION. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, HAVE ANY SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
TORQUEMASTER® PLUS SPRINGS: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster® end brackets above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of spring failure or forceful manual operation.
EXTENSION SPRINGS: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door drawbar operator, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Using handles or suitable gripping points, lift the door to check its balance. Adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s), if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door systems technician.
3. Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door track rollers are rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If track rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, removing dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a nonsilicon based lubricant) graduated end hinges, center hinges, steel track rollers, bearings and torsion springs (torsion spring coil surfaces). DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon track rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.
CHECK FOR PRESENCE OF SAFETY LABELS:

OPENING A DOOR: Make sure the lock(s) are in the unlocked position. Lift the door by using the lift handles / suitable gripping points only. Door should open with little resistance.
CLOSING A DOOR: From inside the garage, pull door downward using lift handles / gripping point only. If you are unable to reach the lift handles/ suitable gripping points only, use pull down rope affixed to the side of door. Door should close completely with little resistance.
USING AN ELECTRIC OPERATOR:
IMPORTANT: PULL DOWN ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.
When connecting a drawbar (trolley type) garage door operator to this door, a drawbar operator bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any struts provided with the door. Always use the drawbar operator bracket supplied with the door. To avoid possible damage to your door, Wayne Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section with a strut (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the drawbar operator must be according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your drawbar operator for complete details on installation, operation, maintenance and testing of the operator.
MAINTAINING YOUR GARAGE DOOR: Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance
