WHEN OPERATING THE DOOR MANUALLY.
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
points only or a high friction area 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 com-
pletely 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 opera-
tor and or 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 and or draw-
bar 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 instruc-
tions and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance 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

and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.
MONTHLY INSPECTIONS:
1. Visual Inspection:
Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any wood found
not to be structurally sound must be replaced. Inspect the springs, 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. 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, have a trained door system technician make the repairs.
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 OR CENTER BEARING
BRACKETS) 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.
TORSION SPRINGS:
The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted
by a trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs
yourself.
EXTENSION SPRINGS:
A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the exten-
sion 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 do-
ing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance.
Adjust 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
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 non-silicon based lubricant) graduated end hinges, center hinge(s), steel track rollers,
bearings and torsion spring(s) (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.
