7/16" Socket

Driver

Winding Bolt Rotation

See chart in Step 31 for proper spring tension setting. Beginning with the right hand side, ensure the cable is in the first groove of the cable drum. Apply light pressure to the canoe clip on counter cover while winding springs.

WARNING

Prior to winding or making adjustments to the springs, ensure you’re winding in the proper direction as stated in the Installation Instructions. Otherwise the spring fittings may release from spring if not wound in the proper direction and could result in severe or fatal injury. Using a power 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. Adjust left hand counterbalance cable tension. (refer to Step 29) NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on left hand side, but need cable tension adjusted.

NOTE: Ensure counterbalance cable tension is equal for both sides prior to fully winding spring(s) to appropriate number of turns. If cable tension is unequal refer to Step 29.
