24	Winding Springs
	Tools: Step Ladder, Approved winding bars, 3/8” Wrench

Position a ladder slightly to the side of the spring so that the winding cone is easily acces- sible, and so your body is not directly in line with the winding bars.

IMPORTANT: Check the label attached to the spring warning tag for the required number of complete turns to balance your door.

22	Set Collars
	Tools: Step Ladder, 3/8” Wrench

NOTE: If your door did not come with set collars, then skip this step.

Slide each of the set collars up against the inside surface of the end bearing brackets, with the set screw facing directly away from the header. Tighten the set screw in each of the set collars to the torsion shaft to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque (once set screw contacts the shaft, tighten set screw one full turn).

IMPORTANT: Prior to tightening the set screws in the set collars, avoid plac- ing the set screws in the keyways of torsion keyed shaft(s).

23	Securing Door For Spring Winding(s)
	Tools: Vice Clamps

With the door in the fully closed position, place vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just above the third track roller. This is to prevent the garage door from rising while winding springs.

WARNING

Failure to place vice clamps onto vertical track can allow door to raise and cause severe or fatal injury.

Prior to winding or making adjustments to the springs, ensure you’re winding in the proper direction as stated in the Instal- lation Instructions. Otherwise the spring fittings may release from spring if not wound in the proper direction and could result in severe or fatal injury.

Alternately inserting the winding rods into the holes of the springs winding cone, rotate the winding cone downward toward the floor, 1/4 turn at a time, until the required number of complete turns for your door height is achieved. As the last 1/8 to 1/4 turn is achieved, securely hold the winding rod while tightening both set screws in the winding cone to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque (once set screws contact the torsion shaft, tighten screws one full turn).

Carefully remove winding rod from winding cone. Repeat for the opposite spring. While holding the door down to prevent it from raising unexpectedly in the event the spring(s) were over-wound, carefully remove the locking pliers from the torsion shaft and vertical tracks.

Adjustments to the number of turns stated may be necessary. If door rises off floor under spring tension alone, reduce spring tension until door rests on the floor. If the door is hard to rise or drifts down on its own, add spring tension.

NOTE: An unbalanced door such as this can cause garage door opener operation problems.

25	Rear Back Hangs
	Tools: Ratchet wrench, Socket: 1/2” 5/8”, Wrench: 1/2” 5/8”, (2) Vice

Important: Hold the door down to prevent it from rising unexpectedly in the event the spring(s) was over-wound and cautiously remove vice clamps from vertical tracks.

Raise the door until the top section and half of the next section are in the horizontal track radius. Do not raise door any further since rear of horizontal tracks are not yet supported.

WARNING

Raising door further can result in door falling and cause severe or fatal injury.

Vice clamps above third track roller on both sides of door

Vice clamps attached to inner and outer rail of vertical track

Bottom section

Clamp a pair of vice clamps onto the vertical tracks just above the second track roller on one side, and just below the second track roller on the other side. This will prevent the door from raising or lowering while installing the rear back hangs.

Using perforated angle (may not be supplied), (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” hex head lag screws and

(3)5/16” bolts with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear back hangs for the horizontal tracks. Attach the horizontal tracks to the rear back hangs with 5/16”-18 x 1 hex bolts and nuts (may not be supplied).

NOTE: Doors heights over 8’0” or door widths over 11’0”, require an additional set of rear center back hangs to be installed and located at the middle of the horizontal tracks, see parts breakdown.

Using perforated angle (may not be supplied), (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” hex head lag screws and (3) 5/16” bolts with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear center back hangs for the horizon- tal tracks. Measure and drill a 3/8” diameter hole through the center length of the horizontal track, as shown. Attach the rear center back hangs to the horizontal tracks with (1) 3/8” truss head bolt and (1) 3/8” nut (may not be supplied).
