brackets. Once the holes are drilled proceed with the installation of the flag brackets as |

Insert the 3/8” bolts into the previously identified slot in the flag bracket, insert a spacer onto the bolt and posi- tion the flag bracket to the existing flag angle. Attach the 3/8” nut and tighten. Secure the second bolt, spacer and nut in the same manner. Make sure that the flag bracket is parallel with the existing flag angle.
IMPORTANT! Flag brackets must be level and plumb. Secure the top of the flag bracket with a 5/16” lag screw in the slot provided. Repeat the procedure for the right hand bracket.
NOTE: Right and Left hand is determined from inside the garage, looking out.
Step 4A: Track Width
Conformation
For the extension spring torsion tube to install correctly it is neces-
sary that the distance between the flag angles be correct. Measure the
distance between the existing flag angles. The dimension needs to be
the width of the door +
then you must adjust the track so that the mounting brackets meet
the requirment.To move the track it may be necessary to loosen the bolts in the flag angles and the brackets mounting it to the jamb. Set the track so it is
of the door on both sides. Reinstall bolts in the jamb brackets and flag angles. Recheck dimensions before go- ing to the next step.
