20	Drum Wraps
	Tools: None

NOTE: If you don’t have drum wraps, then skip this step. Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine if you have drum wraps.

Drum wraps are marked right and left hand. Beginning with the left hand side, slide the left hand drum wrap onto the TorqueMaster® spring tube. Repeat for the right hand side. The drum wrap will be secured later, in Step, Securing Drum Wraps.

21	Cable Drum Assemblies
	Tools: Tape measure, Step ladder

Shake the TorqueMaster® spring tube assembly gently to extend the winding shafts out about 5” on each side. For single spring applications, there will be no left hand spring in the TorqueMaster® spring tube assembly. Lift the TorqueMaster® spring tube assembly and rest it on top of the flag angles.

NOTE: Cable drum assemblies are marked right and left hand. Cable drums and TorqueMas- ter® spring tube assembly is cam shaped to fit together only one way.

Starting on the right hand side, pre-wrap the cable drum with the counterbalance lift cable 1-1/2 wraps, as shown.

Position the TorqueMaster® spring tube assembly so the cam peak is pointing straight up. Slide the cable drum over the winding shaft until the cable drum seats against the Torque- Master® spring tube assembly.

The winding shaft must extend past the cable drum far enough to expose the splines and the grooves. Align the winding shaft grooves with the round notch in the flag angle.

For double spring applications: Repeat for left hand side.

For single spring applications: Pre-wrap the left hand cable drum with the counter- balance lift cable 1-1/2 wraps and insert the loose winding shaft into the cable drum, prior to sliding the cable drum over the TorqueMaster® spring tube assembly.

NOTE: On single spring applications, take care in handling the loose winding shaft (left hand side), so that it does not slide back into the TorqueMaster® spring tube assembly.

22	End Brackets
	Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, 1/2” Wrench, Step ladder

IMPORTANT: Warning tags must be securely attached to both end brackets.

End brackets are right and left hand. You can identify the right hand end bracket by the disconnect cable guide hole, located at the top of the end bracket.

Beginning with the right hand side, slide the end bracket onto the winding shaft so that the splines in the ratchet wheel fit onto the winding shaft grooves.

Attach the end bracket to the flag angle using (1) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolt, (1) 5/16” washer and (1) 5/16”-18 hex nut. Then secure the end bracket to the jamb using (1) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screw.

Repeat same process for left hand end bracket.

NOTE: If ratchet wheel falls out of end bracket, refer to illustration for proper insertion orientation.

NOTE: On single spring applications, no ratchet wheel is required on the left hand side.

23	Securing Center Bracket Bushing Assembly
	Tools: Power drill, 3/16” Drill bit, 7/16” Socket driver, Step ladder, Level

IMPORTANT: TorqueMaster® spring tube must be level before securing center bracket bushing assembly to header.

To locate the center bracket bushing assembly, mark the header halfway between the flag angles and level the TorqueMaster® spring tube. Drill 3/16” pilot holes into header for the lag screws. Fasten the center bracket bushing assembly to the header using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.

24	Securing Door For Winding Spring(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.
