spring system can be
identified by the end brackets. For single
spring applications, the right hand end
bracket will always have a drive gear,
counter gear, counter cover, and a winding
bolt head. The left hand end bracket will
have no gears, counter cover, or winding
bolt head. The hole for the winding bolt
head will be plugged.
For double springs, both the right hand and
left hand end brackets will always have a
drive gear, counter gear, counter cover and
a winding bolt head.
IMPORTANT:
RIGHT AND LEFT HAND IS
ALWAYS DETERMINED FROM INSIDE THE
BUILDING LOOKING OUT.
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
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE IMPACT GUN TO
UNWIND SPRINGS.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT REFERENCE THE
COUNTER COVER WHEN COUNTING THE
NUMBER OF TURNS BEING UNWOUND
ON THE SPRING, BUT FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE.
Step 3:
Verify that spring tension has been
released by pulling the counterbalance
cable on the right hand cable drum away
from the header (Fig. 3). If spring tension
has been released, the cable will be loose.
