Balancing Door
Tools Required: Ratchet wrench, Socket: 5/8”, Wrench: 5/8”, 3” Ratchet extension,
(2) Locking pliers, Step ladder, Tape measure, Safety glasses, Leather gloves
A11
NOTE:
Windows may 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.
Remove any locking pliers. 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 (drifts down). Anytime spring adjustments
are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper position. An unbalanced door can cause

Plus operation problems.
Close the door and place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above the third track
roller. This is to prevent the garage door from rising while adjusting the spring(s).
IMPORTANT:
TO ADJUST SPRINGS, ONLY ADD OR REMOVE A MAXIMUM OF 3/10 OF
A TURN (THREE TEETH ON THE RATCHET WHEEL) AT A TIME. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE
ADJUSTED EQUALLY ON DOUBLE SPRING DOORS.
WARNING
WINDING SPRINGS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
ADD SPRING TENSION:
The ratchet wheel is made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. Place
pawl knob in upper position. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket and 3” ratchet extension
onto the winding shaft, to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel pass
over the pawl, creating three “clicks”. Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring
