| ||
7/16" Wrench | Using a power drill (high torque/gear reduced to 1300 RPM | ||
preferred) with a 7/16" socket driver, carefully rotate right | |||
| |||
Step Ladder | hand winding bolt clockwise, until counter shows | ||
This will keep the counterbalance cable taut while adjusting | |||
| |||
| the left hand side counterbalance cable. | ||
| Adjust left hand counterbalance cable tension (Refer to step | ||
| 10). | ||
| NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding | ||
| on left hand side, but need cable tension adjusted. | ||
| IMPORTANT! 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 10. | ||
| See the Spring Turn chart. | ||
| For SINGLE SPRING applications, return to the right hand | ||
| side and carefully rotate the winding bolt head clockwise | ||
| until the counter shows the correct number of turns for your | ||
| door or the number record during the | ||
| Inspection on page II. | ||
| For DOUBLE SPRING applications, remain on the left | ||
| hand side and carefully rotate the winding bolt head | ||
| clockwise until the counter shows the correct number of | ||
| turns for your door or the number record during the Pre- | ||
| Installation Inspection on page II. Then return to the right | ||
| hand side and wind the right hand spring to the required | ||
| number of turns for your door or the number recorded | ||
| during the | ||
| IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVERWIND. | ||
| After spring is wound, hold the lock nut (in back of end | ||
| bracket) stationary with a 7/16" wrench while rotating the | ||
| winding bolt clockwise until snug. Tightening of the lock nut | ||
| prevents spring from unwinding. Repeat for opposite side on | ||
| double spring Torquemaster® systems. | ||
| IMPORTANT! CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE VICE CLAMPS FROM | ||
| VERTICAL TRACKS. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECOMMENDED | ||
| NUMBER OF TURNS MAY BE REQUIRED. IF DOOR RAISES OFF | ||
| FLOOR UNDER SPRING TENSION ALONE, THEN REDUCE UNTIL | ||
| RESTS ON FLOOR. IF IS HARD RAISE OR DRIFTS DOWN ITS | ||
| OWN, ADD TENSION. AN UNBALANCED CAN CAUSE IDRIVE® | ||
| OPERATION PROBLEMS. | ||
| IMPORTANT! IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE IDRIVE® | ||
| OPENER ON A NEW GARAGE DOOR, REAR SUPPORTS WILL | ||
| NEED TO BE FABRICATED/ INSTALLED TO SUPPORT THE | ||
| HORIZONTAL TRACKS. REAR SUPPORTS ARE CONSTRUCTED | ||
| USING PERFORATED ANGLES, HEX HEAD BOLTS/NUTS AND | ||
| THEN THE MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO SOUND | ||
| FRAMING MEMBERS WITH LAG SCREWS. FOR DETAILED | ||
| INFORMATION ON CONSTRUCTING/ SUPPORTING THE REAR | ||
| SUPPORTS, REFER TO YOUR DOORS INSTALLATION | ||
