Step 1: If you have a black counter cover:
Place a mark on the drive gear tooth and an
adjacent mark on the right hand end bracket
(fig. 1). loosen the lock nut 1/4 turn using a
7/16” wrench and continue with step 2.
If you have a gray counter cover:
loosen
the lock nut 1/4 turn using a 7/16” wrench
and continue with step 2.
Step 2:
using an electric drill (high
torque / gear reduced to 1300 rpm
preferred) with a 7/16” hex head driver,
unwind the right hand winding bolt head
counterclockwise (fig. 2) and count the
number of turns the mark on the drive
gear passes the adjacent mark on the end
bracket. Referencing the chart below, by
door height, stop unwinding the spring
once the counted turns have reached the
listed number of turns.
6’-0” Door height = 14 turns
6’-3” Door height = 14 1/2 turns
6’-5” Door height = 15 turns
6’-6” Door height = 15 turns
6’-8” Door height = 15 1/2 turns
6’-9” Door height = 15 1/2 turns
7’-0” Door height = 16 turns
7’-3” Door height = 16 1/2 turns
7’-6” Door height = 17 turns
7’-9” Door height = 17 1/2 turns
8’-0” Door height = 18 turns
