WARNING 

WINDING SPRING IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE 

AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM 

TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING 

USE ONLY SPECIFIED WINDING BARS, AS STATED IN STEP SECURING 

DOOR FOR SPRING WINDING (D8). DO NOT SUBSTITUTE WITH 

SCREWDRIVERS, PIPE, ETC. OTHER TOOLS MAY FAIL OR RELEASE FROM 

THE SPRING CONE AND CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

WARNING 

PRIOR TO WINDING THE SPRING, ENSURE YOU’RE WINDING IN THE 

PROPER DIRECTION AS SHOWN BELOW. OTHERWISE THE SPRING 

FITTING MAY RELEASE FROM SPRING AND RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL 

INJURY.

Check the label attached to the spring warning tag for the required number of complete turns 

to balance your door.

HOW TO WIND TORSION SPRINGS:

1. Insert one winding rod snugly into winding cone, to full socket depth
2. Maintaining a tight grip on the winding rod rotate it slowly in the proper direction, as 

shown below.
3. If there is any slippage of the winding rod in the winding cone socket, reverse the direction 

of winding and return the cone to its original position. Remove the winding rod from the 

winding cone socket. Reseat the winding rod in the socket. Start over at Step #1.
4. When the winding rod is vertical above the winding cone, insert another winding rod into 

one of the other sockets, being careful to seat it snugly and at full socket depth.
5. Hold the spring with the second winding bar, and remove the first.
6. Repeat Steps #2 through #5 until the complete turns have been applied.

IMPORTANT: 

AFTER WINDING THE SPRING(S), TIGHTEN THE SET SCREWS IN THE WINDING 

CONE TO 14-15 FT-LBS OF TORQUE (ONCE SET SCREWS CONTACT THE TORSION SHAFT, 

TIGHTEN SCREWS AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 TURN FOR SOLID SHAFT AND ONE FULL TURN FOR 

TUBULAR SHAFT).

HIGH SPRING TENSION CAN CAUSE 
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

DO NOT

 adjust, repair or remove springs or parts to 

which springs are connected, such as steel brack-
ets, cables, wood blocks, fasteners or other parts of 
the counterbalance system.

Adjustments or repairs must 

ONLY

 be made by a 

trained door systems technician using proper tools 
and instructions.

DO NOT

 remove, cover or paint over this tag. Prod-

uct user should inspect this tag periodically for 
legibility and should order a replacement tag from 
the door manufacturer, as needed.

FROM VERTICAL TRACKS.
Raise the door until the top section and half of the next section are in the horizontal track 

radius. Do not raise door any further since rear of horizontal tracks are not yet supported.

WARNING 

RAISING DOOR INTO THE LOOSE HORIZONTAL TRACKS CAN RESULT IN 

DOOR FALLING AND CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

Clamp a pair of locking pliers onto the vertical tracks just above the second track roller on 

one side, and just below the second track roller on the other side. This will prevent the door 

from raising or lowering while installing the rear back hangs.
Using the chart below, select the appropriate perforated angle (may not be supplied). Fabri-

cate and install rear back hangs, as shown.

Perforated Angle Gauge Weight Limitations:

 If rear back hangs are to be installed over drywall, use (2) 5/16” x 2” hex head lag 

screws and make sure lag screws engage into solid structural lumber.

WARNING 

FAILURE TO ASSEMBLE AND ATTACH REAR BACK HANGS PROPERLY 

ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DOOR
