| Do not release the torsion spring tension |
|
| unless you’re a qualified and experienced |
|
| door technician, but have a professional |
|
| door agency release the tension. |
|
| Step 1: Close the door and place vice |
|
| clamps to the back legs on both vertical |
|
| tracks, above the third roller to prevent |
|
| the door from lifting as you unwind the |
|
| springs. Use only approved winding bars |
|
| available from your dealer. Do not use |
|
| undersized steel rods, screw drivers or |
|
| anything else to unwind the springs. |
|
| Position the ladder just off to the side |
|
| of the winding cone. The winding cone |
|
| should be easy to reach without putting |
|
| your body directly in front of it. | WINDING CONE |
| Step 2: Insert a winding bar into one | |
|
| |
| of the holes in the winding cone. Exert |
|
| upward pressure. Using caution, loosen |
|
| the two (2) set screws in the winding |
|
| cone. Be prepared to support the full | TORSION ASSEMBLY |
| torsional force of the spring when the set | |
|
| |
| screws are loosened. | APPROVED WINDING BARs |
|
| |
| Step 3: Once set screws are loose, slowly |
|
| and carefully lower the winding rod until it |
|
| rests against the door. Insert other winding |
|
| bar into the upper hole. Push up and |
|
| remove lower bar. Carefully lower upper |
|
| winding bar, one 1/4 turn at a time, until |
|
| it rests against the door. Repeat process |
|
| until all tension is relieved. If your door |
|
| is equipped with two (2) torsion springs, |
|
| follow the same procedure to relieve |
|
| tension on the second spring. |
|
| Step 4: Remove vice clamps from tracks, |
|
| unbolt entire torsion assembly and remove |
|
| from work area. |
