	Now, lift door and check it’s balance.
	Adjust, if door lifts by itself (hard to pull
	down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to

maximum of 3/10 of a turn (three teeth of
ratchet wheel) at a time. Both sides need to
be adjusted equally on double spring doors.
Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is
made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
ensure the ratchet and socket is set so that
it will tighten counter clockwise on the right
hand side, and clockwise on the left hand
side. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket
onto the winding shaft, pull down to add
3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth of the
ratchet wheel pass over the pawl, creating
three “clicks”.
Remove Spring Tension: To remove spring
tension, ensure the ratchet and socket is
set so that it will tighten counter clockwise
on the right hand side and clockwise on
the left hand side. It is recommended that
a regular 5/8” wrench be used. Place the
wrench onto the winding shaft. Pull down
on the wrench to relieve pressure between
the pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push in on
the pawl to allow the three ratchet wheel
teeth to pass by the pawl, as you carefully
allow the wrench to be rotated upward by
the spring tension. Release the pawl to
allow it to engage with the ratchet wheel.
Important: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE
FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.
Important: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE
MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURNS (1 SPRING
TURN EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET
WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED
NUMBER OF TURNS SHOWN ON THE
SPRING TURN CHART.

2.)	Check the TorqueMaster® tube and
	flagangles for level and plumb.
3.)	Check the distance between the
	flagangles must be door width plus
	3-3/8” to 3-1/2”.
4.)	Check the counterbalance cables for
	equal tension adjust if necessary.
5.)	Rewind the spring(s).
6.)	Make sure door isn’t rubbing on jambs.
