Using a ratchet wrench with a 5/8“ socket (NOTE: A 3” extension is also recommended for added clearance from the horizontal angle.), wind the spring by rotating the winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching the mark on the winding shaft.

IMPORTANT: pawl knob must be in upper position to add/ remove required number of spring turns. After 2-3 turns, remove the ratchet wrench and adjust the cable on the left side (step 28). Ensure the cables are in the first groove and the cable drums, as shown in Step 28.

NOTE: Single spring application require no spring winding on the left hand side, but need cable tension adjustments.

IMPORTANT: Counterbalance cable tension must be equal on both sides prior to fully winding springs.

See the Spring Turn chart for the required number of turns: For single spring applications:

Return to the right hand and continue winding the spring to the required number of turns for your door. Place pawl knob in lower position.

For double spring applications: Place a mark on the winding shaft and end bracket. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket onto the left hand winding shaft end.
