	To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side
	and center brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-fit
	construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures
	outlined in DASMA Technical Data Sheets #156, #161 and
	#164 at www.dasma.com.
	The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should				headroom
	be framed with wood jamb and header material. The jambs						backroom
	and header must be securely fastened to sound framing		header
	members. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used.
	The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The jambs
	should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top						jamb
	of the opening for TorqueMaster® Plus counterbalance
	systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should
	extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance
	required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).
	IMPORTANT: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting				WEATHER SEAL
	surface. Any wood found not to be sound, must be replaced.
	For TorqueMaster® Plus counterbalance systems, a suitable
	mounting pad (2” x 4”) must be firmly attached to the wall,				jamb
	above the header at the center of the opening.
	NOTE: Drill 3/16” pilot holes in the mounting pad to avoid
	splitting the lumber, and attach mounting pad with lag
	screws of appropriate length. Do not attach the mounting
	pad with nails.				weather
