16b	Cable Adjustments

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 the chart below. Repeat for the opposite side on double spring TorqueMster™ systems.

If door raises off of floor remove 1/2 - 1 full turn from each spring before proceeding.

After spring is wound, hold the lock nut stationary with a 7/16” wrench while rotating the winding bolt clockwise until snug. Tightening of the lock nut prevents spring from unwinding. Repeat for opposite side if necessary.

Door Height = Spring Turns

6’0” Door Height = 14-1/2 turns (Double Spring) and 15 turns (Single Spring)

6’-3” Door Height = 15 turns 6’-5” Door Height = 15-1/2 turns 6’-6” Door Height = 15-1/2 turns

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.

17a Wind Counterbalance Springs

Clamp locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above third roller. This is to prevent garage door from rising while winding counterbalance springs.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE IMPACT GUN TO

6’-8” Door Height = 16 turns 6’-9” Door Height = 16 turns 7’-0” Door Height = 16-1/2 turns 7’-3” Door Height = 17 turns 7’-6” Door Height = 17-1/2 turns 7’-9” Door Height = 18 turns 8’-0” Door Height = 18-1/2 turns

IMPORTANT! Adjustments to the recommended number of turns may be required. AFTER REAR SUPPORT ASSEMBLYIS COMPLETE (located in main door manual instructions), check door balance. If door raises off of floor under spring tension alone, then reduce turns until door will rest on floor. A “hot” door such as this can cause idrive™ operation problems.

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 for left side on double spring TorqueMaster™ systems.

Single spring applications will require no spring pre-winding.
