Tools Required: Ratchet wrench, 5/8” Socket, 3” Ratchet extension, Pliers / Wire
cutters, Flat tip screwdriver, Step ladder, Tape measure, Safety glasses, Leather
gloves

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.
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.
IMPORTANT:
MARK THE NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS ONTO THE END BRACKET WARNING
TAG.

± 1 turn, adjustments to the recommended number of turns may be required after rear back
hangs are installed.

Attaching Rear Back Hangs
Tools Required: Ratchet wrench, Socket: 1/2” 5/8”, Wrench: 1/2” 5/8”, 3” Ratchet
extension, (2) Locking pliers, Step ladder, Tape measure, Safety glasses, Leather
gloves

IMPORTANT:
HOLD THE DOOR DOWN TO PREVENT IT FROM RISING UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE
EVENT THE SPRING(S) WERE OVER-WOUND AND CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE LOCKING PLIERS
FROM VERTICAL TRACKS.
Raise the door until the top section and half of the next section are in the horizontal track
radius. Do not raise door any further since rear of horizontal tracks are not yet supported.
WARNING
RAISING DOOR INTO THE LOOSE HORIZONTAL TRACKS CAN RESULT IN
DOOR FALLING AND CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Clamp a pair of locking pliers onto the vertical tracks just above the second track roller on
one side, and just below the second track roller on the other side. This will prevent the door
from raising or lowering while installing the rear back hangs.
Using the charts below, select the appropriate perforated angle (may not be supplied). Fabri-
cate and install rear back hangs, as shown.
