Wayne-Dalton 46 installation instructions Rear Support Continued

	Rear Support Continued...
Tools Needed:	Now, lift door and check it’s balance. Adjust, if
	door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if
	door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down).
	Anytime spring adjustments are made,
	ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper
	position to add/remove required number
	of spring turns. To adjust springs, only add
	or remove a maximum of 3/10 of a turn
	(three teeth of ratchet wheel) at a time.
	Both sides need to be adjusted equally on
	double spring doors.
	Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is
	made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
	ensure the ratchet and socket is set so
	that it will tighten counter clockwise on
	the right hand side, and clockwise on the
	left hand side. Place the ratchet with 5/8’
	socket onto the winding shaft, pull down
	to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth
	of the ratchet wheel pass over the pawl,
	creating three “clicks”.

Remove Spring Tension: To remove

spring tension, ensure the ratchet and

socket is set so that it will tighten counter

clockwise on the right hand side and

clockwise on the left hand side. It is

recommended that a regular 5/8” wrench

be used. Place the wrench onto the

winding shaft. Pull down on the wrench

to relieve pressure between the pawl and

the ratchet wheel. Push in on the pawl to

allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to pass

by the pawl, as you carefully allow the

wrench to be rotated upward by the spring

tension. Release the pawl to allow it to

engage with the ratchet wheel.

IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE

FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.

IMPORTANT: Do not add or remove

more than 1 spring turn from

specified amount. If the door still

does not operate easily, lower

the door into the closed position,

UNWIND SPRING(S) TO ZERO, and

recheck the following items:

1.) Check the door for level.

2.) Check the TorqueMaster® spring tube

and flagangles for level and plumb.

3.) Check the distance between the

flagangles - must be door width plus

3-3/8” to 3-1/2”.

4.) Check the counterbalance cables

for equal tension - adjust if necessary.

5.) Rewind the spring(s).

6.) Make sure door isn’t rubbing on

jambs.

NOTE: If an idrive was installed and

you have completed your rear support

installation, refer to the idrive Installation

Instructions and Owner’s Manual to
