Now, lift door and check it’s balance. Adjust, if

 

Tools Needed:

 

 

 

 

door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door

 

 

 

is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). Anytime

 

 

 

spring adjustments are made, ratchet pawl

 

 

 

knob must be in the upper position to add/

 

 

 

remove required number of spring turns (refer to

 

 

 

step 21). To adjust springs, only add or remove

 

 

 

a maximum of 3/10 of a turn (three teeth of

 

 

 

ratchet wheel) at a time. Both sides need to be

 

 

 

adjusted equally on double spring doors.

 

 

 

Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is made

 

 

 

of 10 teeth. To add spring tension, ensure the

 

 

 

ratchet and socket is set so that it will tighten

 

 

 

counter clockwise on the right hand side, and

 

 

 

clockwise on the left hand side. Place the

 

 

 

ratchet with 5/8” socket onto the winding shaft,

 

 

 

pull down to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three

 

 

 

teeth of the ratchet wheel pass over the pawl,

 

 

 

creating three “clicks”.

 

 

 

Remove Spring Tension: To remove spring

 

 

 

tension, ensure the ratchet and socket is set so

 

 

 

that it will tighten counter clockwise on the right

 

 

 

hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. It

 

 

 

is recommended that a regular 5/8” wrench be

 

 

 

used. Place the wrench onto the winding shaft.

 

 

 

Pull down on the wrench to relieve pressure

 

 

 

between the pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push

 

 

 

in on the pawl to allow the three ratchet wheel

 

 

 

teeth to pass by the pawl, as you carefully allow

 

 

 

the wrench to be rotated upward by the spring

 

 

 

tension. Release the pawl to allow it to engage

 

 

 

with the ratchet wheel.

 

 

 

important: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE

 

 

 

FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.

 

 

 

Important: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE

 

 

 

MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURNS (1 SPRING

 

 

 

TURN EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET

 

 

 

WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED

 

 

 

NUMBER OF TURNS SHOWN ON THE

 

 

 

SPRING TURN CHART.

 

 

 

If the door still does not operate easily, lower the

 

 

 

door into the closed position, UNWIND SPRING(S)

 

 

 

COMPLETELY, and recheck the following items:

 

 

 

1.)

Check the door for level.

 

 

 

2.)

Check the TorqueMaster® tube and

 

 

 

flagangles for level and plumb.

 

 

 

3.)

Check the distance between the flagangles

 

 

 

must be door width plus 3-3/8” to 3-1/2”.

 

 

 

4.)

Check the counterbalance cables for equal

 

 

 

tension, adjust if necessary.

 

 

 

5.)

Rewind the spring(s).

 

 

 

6.)

Make sure door isn’t rubbing on jambs.
