Position the first vertical track over the rollers of the bottom section. Make sure the counterbalance cable is located between the rollers and the door jamb. Secure jamb brackets and flagangles to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Install the other vertical track the same way. Hang cables over flagangles.
IMPORTANT! The tops of the vertical tracks must be level from side to side. If the bottom section was shimmed to level it. The vertical track on the shimmed side, must be raised the height of the shim.
7A-7C
Place rollers into hinge tubes of second section (lock section). With assistance, lift second section and guide rollers into the vertical tracks. Keep sections aligned and fasten hinges to connect the sections using 1/4-14 x 5/8” self tapping screws. Repeat for other section(s) except top section.
IMPORTANT! Push & hold the hinge leaf against section while securing with 1/4-14 x 5/8 self tapping screws.
NOTE: To install lock (sold separately), see lock instructions included in the lock assembly bag.

To install the L-shaped top brackets, align the top holes in the top bracket base with:
a)the second set of holes in the endcap for Model 9100, 9200, and 9600 doors.
b)the first set of holes in the endcap for Model 9900 doors.
Fasten using (4) 1/4-14 x 5/8 self tapping screws. Secure the top bracket slide to the bracket base using (2) 1/4-20 carriage bolts and nuts. Insert rollers into top slide.
9A-9C
Model 9100 and 9200 Foamcore™ doors over 13’ wide require a 3” U-Bar (supplied). Center the U-Bar over the top rib of the top section and secure it to the section using (6) 1/4-20 x 5/8” self drilling screws.
10A-10B
Place top section in the door opening, align with other sections and secure it temporarily by driving a nail into the header near the center of the door and bending it over the section. Now flip up, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first, and end hinges last. When installing a door with a TorqueMaster™ counterbalance system, vertical track alignment is critical. Position flagangle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door. Flagangles must be parallel to the door sections. Now complete the vertical track installation on both sides by securing the center jamb bracket and tightening the other lag screws.
IMPORTANT! The dimension between the flagangles must be door-width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for smooth, safe door operation.
11A-11B
To install horizontal track, place the curved end over the top roller. Align the key slot in the track with the quick install tabs on the flagangle. Push the curved portion of the horizontal track downward to lock into place, while raising the rear of the horizontal to align the horizontal angle with the flagangle. Level the horizontal track, then bolt the horizontal angle to the flagangle using (1) truss head bolt and nut. Repeat for other side. Vertically align the top section with the lower sections. Once aligned, move top bracket slide out to force top roller against horizontal track. Tighten nuts to secure top bracket slide to top bracket base. Repeat for other side. Remove nail that was temporarily holding top section in place.
IMPORTANT! Failure to remove nail before attempting to raise door could cause permanent damage to top section.
WARNING!
DO NOT RAISE DOOR UNTIL HORIZONTAL TRACKS ARE SECURED AT REAR AS OUTLINED IN STEP 21, OR DOOR COULD FALL FROM OVERHEAD POSITION CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
12A-12B idrive™ Installation
NOTE: For non-idrive™ operated garage doors see Alternative Installations on the reverse side of this manual.
Lay the torque tube on the floor (inside garage) in front of the door with the labeled end to the left. NOTE: Opener will not slide over a torque tube label. Attempting to slide opener over the left end of the torque tube can damage the internal electronics.
door section with the idrive™ resting on the support bracket. Once torque tube is level, secure support bracket to the spring pad with (2) 1/4 x 2" lag screws.
Lift and slide the opener power head over the support bracket, aligning the mounting studs with the bracket slots. Loosely fasten to mounting studs with the (2) 1/4-20 flange nuts. NOTE: Do not tighten 1/4-20 flange nuts to power
head studs at this time.
17A-17D
Attach the loose disconnect cable (located in operator hardware bag) to the opener power head with “S” hook. Close both ends of “S” hook to lock assembly together. Thread the disconnect cable through hole in right hand end bracket and remove all slack between power head and right hand end bracket.
Mark location on right door jamb, six feet above the ground to mount disconnect handle. Thread disconnect cable through handle bracket and then handle. Align top of handle bracket with mark on wall. Remove all cable slack between the power head and top of handle bracket.
Insert and tighten #6-20 x 1/2" screw until snug, and then tighten screw 1 to 1-1/2 additional turns to secure cable in handle. Trim off excess cable from bottom of handle.
Holding handle bracket, remove all remaining slack between power head. With slack removed, secure bottom of handle bracket with (1) 1/4 x 1-1/2" lag screw.
CAUTION: Pull handle just enough to remove the cable slack. Pulling the cable more could cause the opener power head to disconnect from the torque tube.
Rotate disconnect handle to one side exposing upper mounting hole in handle bracket. Secure handle bracket with a second 1/4 x 1-1/2" lag screw. Apply emergency disconnect label next to the mounted bracket. Use mechanical fasteners if adhesive will not adhere.
Using the emergency disconnect, pull disconnect handle downwards and place it in the manual door operated position. Use disconnect label for reference. Motor will be rotated 90° from its packaged position.
NOTE: If motor does not pivot 90°, see troubleshooting section in the idrive™ main installation manual.

Clamp locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above third roller. This is to prevent garage door from rising while winding counterbalance springs.
WARNING!
FAILURE TO CLAMP TRACK CAN ALLOW DOOR TO RAISE AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Adjust the counter balance cables by rotating the drum until the set screw faces directly away from the header. Loosen the set screw no more than 1/2 turn. Pull on the end of the cable to remove all cable slack. Check to ensure the cable is aligned and seated in the first groove of the cable drum. Snug the set screw, then tighten an additional 1-1/2 turns. Cut off excess cable.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE IMPACT GUN TO WIND SPRING(S)
Beginning with the right hand side. Press and hold in the canoe clip. Ensure the cable is in the first groove of the drum. Using an electric drill (high torque gear reduced to 1300 RPM preferred) with a 7/16" socket, carefully rotate right hand winding bolt clockwise, until counter shows 2-3 turns. This will keep the counterbalance cable taut while adjusting the left hand side counterbalance cable. Repeat step 18 and 19 for left side. NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding.
Ensure counterbalance cable tension is equal for both sides prior to fully winding spring(s) to appropriate number of turns.
Carefully rotate the winding bolt head clockwise until the counter show the correct number of turns for your door. See
