Do not release the torsion spring tension

 

 

 

 

unless you are a qualified and experienced

 

 

 

 

door technician. Instead have a professional

APPROVED WINDING BAR

 

door agency release the tension.

 

Step 1: Close the door and place vice

 

 

 

 

clamps on the back legs of both vertical

 

 

 

 

tracks, above the third roller to prevent the

 

 

 

 

door from lifting as you unwind the springs.

 

 

 

 

Use only approved winding bars available

 

 

 

 

from your dealer. Do not use undersized

 

 

 

 

steel rods, screw drivers or anything else

 

 

 

 

to unwind the springs. Position the ladder

 

 

 

 

just off to the side of the winding cone.

 

 

 

 

The winding cone should be easy to reach

 

 

 

 

without putting your body directly in front

 

 

 

 

of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Insert a winding bar into one of the

 

 

 

 

holes in the winding cone. Exert upward

 

 

 

 

pressure. Using caution, loosen the two

 

 

 

 

(2) set screws in the winding cone. Be

 

 

 

 

prepared to support the full torsional force

 

 

 

 

of the spring when the set screws are

SET SCREWS

 

loosened.

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Once set screws are loose, slowly

 

 

 

 

and carefully lower the winding rod until it

 

 

 

 

rests against the door. Insert other winding

 

 

 

 

bar into the upper hole. Push up and

 

 

 

 

remove lower bar. Carefully lower upper

 

 

 

 

winding bar, 1/4 turns at a time until it rests

 

 

 

 

against the door. Repeat process until all

 

 

 

 

tension is relieved. If your door is equipped

 

 

 

 

with two (2) torsion springs, follow the same

 

 

 

 

procedure to relieve tension on the second

 

 

 

 

spring.

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Remove vice clamps from tracks,

 

 

 

 

unbolt torsion shaft assembly and remove

 

 

 

 

from work area.

 

 

 

 

NOTE: Continue with “P4” on page 9 after

firmly hold winding bars and

 

cautiously loosen set screws

 

completing this step.
