Wayne-Dalton 8300/8500 Bottom Section, Vertical Tracks, Stacking Sections, Top Fixtures

On the inside of the door, center the inside step plate’s second top most hole and bottom hole vertically over the pre-punched holes in the bottom section no higher than 8” from the bottom of the door to the top of the step plate. Drill 7/16” diameter holes through the entire section at these hole locations. Be careful to keep drill straight.

IMPORTANT: Do not mount the step plate higher than 8” from bottom of sec- tion.

Insert the outside step plate into the holes through the front of the door, and mount the two step plates back to back with two No. 8 x 1-1/2” screws through the inside step plate and into the outside step plate.

IMPORTANT: If your door is to be installed prior to a finishing construction of the building’s floor, the vertical tracks and the door bottom section assembly should be installed such that when the floor is constructed, no door or track parts are trapped in the floor construction.

Important: The tops of the vertical tracks must be level from side to side. If the bottom section was shimmed to level it, the vertical track on the shimmed side must be raised the height of the shim.

Position the left hand riveted/wall angle track assembly over the track rollers of the bottom section. Make sure the counterbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the door jamb. Drill 3/16” pilot holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.

Loosely fasten jamb brackets and flag angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 2” lag screws, as shown.

Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom jamb bracket/bottom slot to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing, between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle/wall angle. Repeat same process for other side.

Note: Refer to door section identification.

Note: Make sure hinges are flipped down, when stacking another section on top. Place rollers into end hinges of remaining sections.

With assistance, lift second section and guide rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten intermediate hinge(s) first, then end hinges, using 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Repeat for other sections, except top section.

Important: Push & hold the hinge leafs securely against the sections while securing with 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws. There should be no gap between the hinge leafs and the sections.

Note: Install lock at this time (sold separately). See optional installation step, Side Lock.

Align the top bracket base 3” down from the top section and even with the edge of the sec- tion, the slotted half of the bracket base should be facing upwards. Fasten to section through end cap using (4) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Secure the top bracket slide to the bracket base loosely using (1) 1/4”-20 x 5/8” carriage bolt and (1) 1/4”-20 flange hex nut. The bracket will be tightened and adjusted later, in step, Adjusting Top Brackets. Insert roller into top bracket slide. Repeat for other side.
