2.7 Torsion Spring Assembly
WARNING: Springs under tension may cause damage or injury if handled incorrectly and should only
be attempted by a person with sound knowledge of springing mechanisms.
IMPORTANT: Door must always be in closed position when adjusting tension.
Attach the bearing plate to each horizontal angle on both tracks using carriage bolts and nuts.
Secure the spring anchor plugs to the centre bearing. Locate the left wound spring to the right side of
the plate and the right wound spring to the left of the plate. If your door only requires one wound spring
locate it to the left or right as detailed above. Slide the completed spring assembly over the shaft and
slide into place the cable drums at each end. Ensure that the correct drums are on the right ends as
marked.
Place the shaft assembly over the horizontal tracks and slide one end through the bearing plate with
the greatest side clearance, then insert the opposite end into its bearing plate. Take hold of the spring
bearing plate and raise it until the shaft is level. Position the bracket near the centre of the header so that
the automatic opener can be fixed in the centre and securely fix to the wall.
Pull the cables up in the space between the tracks and the door. Align the cable over the back of the
cable drum and insert in the cable slot. Lay the cable over the highest outside groove of the drum. Both
cables must be even.
Draw or texture a central horizontal line along the length of the springs. This line is used to easily identify
the amount of tension you have put on the door each spiral reflects one turn of tension.
Springs must be tensioned in the direction they are wound.
Insert a winding bar into the hole of the spring block and wind 1/4 of a turn, now insert a second winding
bar and continue turning repeat this process until desired tension is achieved (refer image, page 16).
