	Tools: 7/16” Wrench, Step ladder

With horizontal tracks installed, you can now adjust the top brackets. Vertically align the top section of the door with the lower sections. Once aligned, position the top fixture slide, out against the horizontal track. Maintaining the slide’s position, tighten the 1/4”-20 flange hex nut to secure the top fixture slide to the top bracket base.

16	Head Plates / End Bearing Brackets
	Tools: Step ladder, Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

NOTE: Refer to illustrations to determine which head plates / end bearing brackets was supplied with your door.

IMPORTANT: Right and left hand is always determined from inside the building looking out.

NOTE: Head plates / End bearing brackets are right and left hand.

Attach the left hand head plate / end bearing bracket through on top of the left hand hori- zontal track angle using (2) 3/8”-16 x 3/4” hex head bolts and (2) 3/8”-16 nuts. Secure the head plates / end bearing bracket to the jamb using (2) 5/16” x 2” lag screw(s), as shown.

Note: It is recommended that the 5/16” lag screws are pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.

Repeat the same process for other side.

17	Spring Anchor Bracket / Center Bracket
	Tools: Step ladder, Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, 1/4” Torx bit, Level,
	Tape measure, Pencil

NOTE: Refer to the Package Contents and or Parts Breakdown to determine if your door came with a coupler assembly.

Locate the center of the door.

Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the center.

Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the head plates / end bearing brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line which intersects the vertical pencil line(s). Align the edge of the spring anchor bracket(s) / center bracket(s) with the vertical pencil line and the center of the spring anchor bracket(s) / center bracket(s) with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion shaft is level between the spring anchor bracket / center bracket and head plates / end bearing brackets.

Attach the spring anchor bracket(s) / center bracket(s) to the mounting surface, using (2)

5/16” x 2” lag screws and (1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.

Note: It is recommended that 5/16” lag screws are pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.

IMPORTANT: Use a 5/16” x 1-5/8” tamper-resistant lag screw instead of the 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw if mounting surface is mounted over masonry. Tamper-resistant lag screw must be attached through the bottom slot of the spring anchor bracket(s) / center bracket(s).

18	Torsion Spring Assembly
	Tools: Step Ladder

IMPORTANT: Right and left hand is always determined from inside the building looking out.

IMPORTANT: On single spring applications, only a left hand wound (black winding cone), which goes on the RIGHT HAND SIDE is required.

NOTE: Identify the torsion springs provided as either right hand wound (red winding cone), which goes on the LEFT HAND SIDE or left hand wound (black winding cone), which goes on the RIGHT HAND SIDE.

Facing the inside of the door, lay the torsion shaft on the floor. Lay the torsion spring with the black winding cone and the black cable drum at the right end of the torsion shaft. Lay the torsion spring with the red winding cone and the red cable drum at the left end of the torsion shaft.

NOTE: The set screws used on all torsion winding cones and cable drums are now colored red. DO NOT identify right and left hand by the set screw color.

Slide the spring anchor bracket bushing / center bracket bushing onto the torsion shaft fol- lowed by the torsion springs and cable drums.

IMPORTANT: The spring anchor bracket bushing / center bracket bushing, tor- sion springs, and cable drums must be positioned, as shown.

With assistance, pick up the torsion spring assembly and slide one end of the torsion shaft through the head plate / end bearing bracket. Lay the middle of the torsion shaft into the center bracket. Slide the other end of the torsion shaft into the other head plate / end bearing bracket. Position the torsion shaft so that equal amounts of the shaft extend from each head plates / end bearing brackets.
