	NOTE: Single spring applications require
	no spring winding on left hand side, but
	need cable tension adjusted.
	NOTE: Ensure counterbalance cable
	tension is equal for both sides prior to
	fully winding spring(s) to appropriate
	number of turns. If cable tension is
	unequal refer to Step 28.

WARNING

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