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.
6’0” Door height = Approx. 6-7/8 Turns
6’6” Door height = Approx. 7-3/8 Turns
7’0” Door height = Approx. 7-7/8 Turns
7’6” Door height = Approx. 8-1/4 Turns
8’0” Door height = Approx. 8-3/4 Turns
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 1/8 to1/4 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.
Repeat for the opposite spring. While holding the
door down, to prevent it from raising unexpectedly, in
the event the spring(s) were overwound, carefully
remove the vice grips from the torsion tube and the
vertical tracks.
PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAkING ADjUSTMENTS TO
ThE SPRINGS, ENSURE YOU’RE WINDING IN ThE
PROPER DIRECTION AS STATED IN ThE INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS. OThERWISE, ThE SPRING
fITTINGS MAY RELEASE fROM SPRING If NOT
WOUND IN ThE PROPER DIRECTION AND COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE OR fATAL INjURY.
