NOTE:
Single spring applications require
no spring winding on left hand side.
Clamp a pair of vice clamps on the vertical
tracks just above the third roller on one
side and just below the third roller on the
other side. This will prevent the door from
raising or lowering while adjusting the
spring(s).
PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
TO THE SPRINGS, ENSURE YOU’RE WINDING
IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AS STATED IN THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OTHERWISE THE
SPRING FITTINGS MAY RELEASE FROM SPRING
IF NOT WOUND IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AND
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
To Add Spring Tension:
The ratchet wheel is made of 10 teeth. To
add spring tension, ensure the ratchet and
socket is set so that it will tighten counter
clockwise on the right hand side, and
clockwise on the left hand side. Place the
ratchet with 5/8” socket onto the wind-
ing shaft, pull down to add 3/10 of a turn.
Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel
pass over the ratchet pawl, creating three
“clicks”.
To Remove Spring Tension:
To remove spring tension, ensure the
ratchet and socket is set so that it will
tighten counter clockwise on the right
hand side and clockwise on the left hand
side. It is recommended that a regular 5/8”
wrench be used. Place the wrench onto
the winding shaft. Pull down on the wrench
to relieve pressure between the ratchet
pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push in on
the pawl to allow the three ratchet wheel
teeth to pass by the ratchet pawl, as you
carefully allow the wrench to be rotated
upward by the spring tension. Release the
pawl to allow ratchet pawl to engage with
the ratchet wheel.
Remove the vice clamps from the vertical
tracks, re-check doors balance and adjust
if necessary. When door is balanced and
adjusted properly, place the pawl knobs in
the active position (lower position).
