NOTE: Windows will 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. Doors with windows in the top section should not be manually operated.
Remove any vice clamps. 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 (easy to pull down). Anytime spring adjust-
ments 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 vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just above the third track
