Wayne-Dalton 47, 43, 40, 42, 45 installation instructions Center Bracket, Torsion Spring Assembly

18	Center Bracket
	Tools: Step ladder, Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, 1/4” Torx bit, Level,

NOTE: Refer to the Package Contents and or Parts Breakdown to determine if your door came with a coupler assembly.

NOTE: If your door came with a coupler assembly, the mounting surface needs to be a mini- mum of 17” wide. The (2) center bearing brackets will need to be spaced 12” to 14” apart, at the center of the door, as shown.

Locate the center of the door.

If your door did not come with a coupler: Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the center.

If your door did come with a coupler: Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the center. Split the difference up and position the (2) center bearing brackets apart from each other. Mark two vertical pencil lines, one for each center bearing bracket onto the mounting surface above the door.

Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line which intersects the vertical pencil line(s). Align the edge of the center bracket(s) with the vertical pencil line and the center of the center bracket(s) with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion shaft is level between the center and end bearing brackets.

Attach the center bracket(s) to the mounting surface, using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws and

(1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.

IMPORTANT: Use a 5/16” x 1-5/8” tamper-resistant lag screw instead of the 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw if mounting surface is mounted over

NOTE: Identify the torsion springs provided as either right hand wound (red winding cone), which goes on the RIGHT HAND SIDE or left hand wound (black winding cone), which goes on the LEFT HAND SIDE.

For Doors without Coupler Assembly:

Facing the inside of the door lay the torsion shaft on the floor. Lay the torsion spring with the black winding cone and the red cable drum at the left end of the torsion shaft. Lay the torsion spring with the red winding cone and the black cable drum at the right end of the torsion shaft.

NOTE: The set screws used on all torsion winding cones and cable drums are now colored red. DO NOT identify right and left hand by the set screw color.

Slide the center bracket bushing or center bearing onto the torsion shaft followed by the torsion springs.

IMPORTANT: The center bracket bushing or center bearing and torsion springs, must be positioned, as shown.

With assistance, pick up the torsion spring assembly and slide one end of the torsion shaft through one end bearing bracket. Lay the middle of the torsion shaft into the center bracket. Slide the other end of the torsion shaft into the other end bearing bracket. Position the torsion shaft so that equal amounts of the shaft extend from each end bearing brackets.

	Tools: Step Ladder

NOTE: Refer to the Package Contents and or Parts Breakdown to determine if your door came with a coupler assembly.

IMPORTANT: Right and left hand is always determined from inside the building looking out.

IMPORTANT: On single spring applications, only a right hand wound (red wind- ing cone), which goes on the RIGHT HAND SIDE is required.

For Doors with a Coupler Assembly:

Disassemble the coupler assembly by removing the (3) 3/8”-16 x 1-3/4” hex head screws and the (3) 3/8”-16 nylon hex lock nuts from the coupler halves. Loosen the set screws. Set the components aside.

Facing the inside of the door, lay the (2) torsion keyed shafts on the floor. One torsion keyed shaft on the left hand side and the other torsion keyed shaft on the right hand side.

Starting on the left hand side, lay one of the coupler halves, center bearing, the torsion spring with the black winding cone, one set collar and the red cable drum at the left end of the tor- sion keyed shaft. Next on the right hand side, lay the other coupler halve, center bearing, the torsion spring with the red winding cone, one set collar and the black cable drum at the right end of the torsion keyed shaft.

NOTE: The set screws used on all torsion winding cones and cable drums are now colored red. DO NOT identify right and left hand by the set screw color.

Slide the coupler halve, the center bearing onto the torsion keyed shaft followed by the tor- sion spring and the set collar.

IMPORTANT: The coupler halves, center bearings, torsion springs and the set collars must be positioned, as shown.

Slide the flat edge of the couple halve flush with the side edge of the torsion keyed shaft. Tighten the (2) set screws and the locking nut to secure the coupler halve to the torsion keyed shaft.

NOTE: Tighten the set screws to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque (once set screws contact the shaft, tighten set screws one full turn).

Insert (1) key shaft into the slot of both the coupler halve and the slot in the torsion keyed shaft, as shown. Repeat the same process for the other side.

With assistance and starting on the left hand side of door, pick up the left hand torsion spring assembly and slide one end of the torsion keyed shaft through the end bearing bracket. Lay the other side of the torsion keyed shaft into the center bracket. Repeat the same process for the right hand torsion spring assembly.

Position both torsion keyed shafts so that equal amounts of the shafts extend from each end bearing brackets.
