| HARDWARE. A POWERFUL SPRING | WINDING CONE | ||||
| RELEASING IT’S ENERGY SUDDENLY |
|
|

| CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL |
|
|
| ||
| INJURY. |
|
|
| ||
| Do not release the torsion spring tension |
|
|
| ||
| unless you are a qualified and experienced | APPROVED WINDING BAR | ||||
| door technician. Instead have a professional | |||||
| door agency release the tension. |
|
|
| ||
| Step 1: Close the door and place vice |
|
|
| ||
| clamps on the back legs of both vertical |
|
|
| ||
| tracks, above the third roller to prevent the |
|
|
| ||
| door from lifting as you unwind the springs. |
|
|
| ||
| Use only approved winding bars available |
|
|
| ||
| from your dealer. Do not use undersized |
|
|
| ||
| steel rods, screw drivers or anything else |
|
|
| ||
| to unwind the springs. Position the ladder |
|
|
| ||
| just off to the side of the winding cone. |
|
|
| ||
| The winding cone should be easy to reach |
|
|
| ||
| without putting your body directly in front |
|
|
| ||
| of it. |
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
| |||
| Step 2: Insert a winding bar into one of the |
|
|
| ||
| holes in the winding cone. Exert upward |
|
|
| ||
| pressure. Using caution, loosen the two |
|
|
| ||
| (2) set screws in the winding cone. Be |
|
|
| ||
| prepared to support the full torsional force | SET SCREWS | ||||
| of the spring when the set screws are | |||||
|
|
|
| |||
| loosened. |
|
|
| ||
| Step 3: Once set screws are loose, slowly |
|
|
| ||
| and carefully lower the winding rod until it |
|
|
| ||
| rests against the door. Insert other winding |
|
|
| ||
| bar into the upper hole. Push up and |
|
|
| ||
| remove lower bar. Carefully lower upper |
|
|
| ||
| winding bar, 1/4 turns at a time until it rests |
|
|
| ||
| against the door. Repeat process until all |
|
|
| ||
| tension is relieved. If your door is equipped |
|
|
| ||
| with two (2) torsion springs, follow the |
|
|
| ||
| same procedure to relieve tension on the |
|
|
| ||
| second spring. |
|
|
| ||
| Step 4: Remove vice clamps from tracks, |
|
|
| ||
| unbolt torsion shaft assembly and remove |
|
|
| ||
| from work area. |
|
|
| ||
| NOTE: Continue with “P4” on page 9 after | firmly hold winding bars and | ||||
| completing this step. | cautiously loosen set screws | ||||
