WARNING

 

 

 

Prior to winding or making

 

 

 

adjustments to the springs,

 

 

 

ensure you’re winding in the

 

 

 

proper direction as stated in

 

 

 

the Installation Instructions.

 

 

 

Otherwise, the spring fittings may

 

 

 

release from spring if not wound

 

 

 

in the proper direction and could

 

 

 

result in severe or fatal injury.

 

 

 

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
