3” Extension | WARNING |
|
|
| |
Step Ladder | FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO |
|
| HANDS. |
|
| See chart on page 19 for proper spring tension setting. |
|
| Double check to ensure the counterbalance cable is |
|
| aligned in the first and second groove of the cable |
|
| drum, as shown in Step 10. |
|
| There are two methods for counting the spring turns as |
|
| you wind. One method is to identify the black tooth on |
|
| the ratchet wheel inside of the end bracket. When the |
|
| wheel makes one revolution and the tooth returns to its |
|
| starting point, one turn has been made. The other |
|
| method is to make a mark on the winding shaft (or |
|
| socket) and end bracket, and count your turns in this |
|
| manor. |
|
| IMPORTANT! PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER |
|
| POSITION TO ADD/ REMOVE SPRING TURNS. AFTER |
|
| ADDING / REMOVING SPRING TURNS, PAWL KNOB |
|
| MUST BE PLACED BACK IN LOWER POSITION. |
|
| Beginning with the right side, place a mark on winding |
|
| shaft (or socket) and end bracket. Turn pawl knob on |
|
| the end bracket to the upper position. Using a ratchet |
|
| with a 5/8” socket,wind the spring by rotating the |
|
| winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching the |
|
| mark on the winding shaft. |
|
| NOTE: A 3” extension is also recommended for added |
|
| clearance from the horizontal angle. |
|
| After |
|
| on the left side. Ensure the cable is in the first and |
|
| second groove of the cable drums as shown in Step 10 |
|
| and clear of any obstructions. | Pawl Knob |
| 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 | Pawl |
| 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 continue winding the spring to the |
|
| required number of turns for your door or the number |
|
| record during the |
|
| Place pawl knob in lower position. |
|
| For DOUBLE SPRING applications, place a mark on the |
|
| left hand winding shaft and end bracket. Place the |
|
| ratchet with 5/8” socket onto the left hand winding |
|
| shaft end. |
