Plus Reset Instructions
IMPORTANT:
THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED AC-
CORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. SOME LIGHTER WEIGHT DOORS ARE
DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH A SINGLE COUNTERBALANCE SPRING. IF THAT COUNTER-
BALANCE 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 POSI-
TION, 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 posi-
tion.
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 ten-
sion 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.

Door Arm Hookup
Align hole in the door arm with holes in drawbar operator bracket tabs, as shown. Insert
5/16” x 1-1/4” clevis pin, making sure hole in clevis pin is outside of second tab of drawbar
operator bracket. Insert hairpin cotter into clevis pin hole and spread hairpin cotter to secure
assembly, as shown.

Trolley Arm Configuration
Measure the horizontal radius of the horizontal track to determine if you have a 12” or 15”
radius horizontal track, as shown in FIG. 1; if you have a low headroom door skip this step.
Determine center line of the door. Mark vertical line at this point on the header, as shown in
FIG. 4. Raise the door slightly until the top section reaches the highest point of travel (high
arc), as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 for low headroom. Using a level, mark this high arc point
onto the header where it intersects the vertical center line, as shown in FIG. 4. Hold the wall
bracket’s bottom edge 1/2” - 1” (room permitting) above the high arc line and centered on
the vertical center line, as shown in FIG. 4. Mark the wall bracket’s mounting holes on the
header wall and then refer to your garage door operator manual for pre-drilling and securing
the wall bracket to header.
NOTE:
Refer to your operator manual for specific details on how to assembly the curved and
straight arm.
Align hole in the appropriate arm with holes in drawbar operator bracket tabs, as shown in
step, Trolley Arm Hookup. Insert 5/16” x 1-1/4” clevis pin, making sure hole in clevis pin is
outside of second tab of drawbar operator bracket. Insert cotter pin into clevis pin hole and
spread hairpin cotter to ensure it will secure assembly.
NOTE:
Depending on your door, configuration, you could have an alternative drawbar opera-
tor brackets. Refer to your alternative drawbar operator bracket insert.
