WARNING

NEVER REMOVE, ADJUST, OR LOOSEN THE BOLTS, SCREWS AND/OR LAG SCREWS ON THE COUNTERBALANCE (END OR CENTER BEARING BRACKETS) SYSTEM OR BOTTOM BRACKETS OF THE DOOR. THESE BRACKETS ARE CON- NECTED TO THE SPRING(S) AND ARE UNDER EXTREME TENSION. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, HAVE ANY SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

Torquemaster® Plus Springs: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster® end brackets above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of spring failure or forceful manual operation.

Torsion Springs: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.

Extension Springs: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.

2.Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door opener, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance. Adjust Torquemaster® or Extension spring(s), if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust Torquemaster® or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door systems technician.

3.Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door rollers are rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, re- moving dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant) hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.

Moreover, the door can be integrated with garage door openers that come with smart technology, enabling users to control the door remotely through mobile apps.

Safety is another priority with the Wayne-Dalton 6100. The door incorporates safety features such as pinch-resistant panels and an automatic reverse mechanism, which ensures that the door will stop and reverse immediately if it detects an obstacle in its path. This is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of family members and pets.

In summary, the Wayne-Dalton 6100 model combines durability, insulation, customizable aesthetics, advanced technology, and essential safety features, making it a versatile choice for any garage.
