Wayne-Dalton 8700 Horizontal Tracks/F.A. Flag Angles, Center Bracket, End Bearing Brackets

To install horizontal track, place the top rail end over the top track roller of the top section. Align key slot of the bottom rail end of horizontal track with the Quick Install tab of the flag angle. Push curved portion of horizontal track down to lock in place.

WARNING

Do not raise door until horizontal tracks are secured at rear, as outlined in Step, Rear Back Hangs, or door could fall from overhead position causing severe or fatal injury.

Level the horizontal track assembly and bolt the top rail of the horizontal track to the encoun- tered slot in the flag angle using (1) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolt, (1) 1/4”-20 flange hex nut and (1) 5/16 washer. Repeat for other side.

Remove the nail that was temporarily holding the top section in place, installed in step, Top Section.

side, position the left hand end bearing bracket above the left hand flag angle, as shown. Loosely attach the end bearing bracket to the flag angle using (1) 3/8”-16 x 3/4” truss head bolt and (1) 3/8”-16 nut.

NOTE: Ensure the 3/8”-16 x 3/4” truss head bolt is going through the inside portion of flag angle first and the 3/8”-16 hex nut is on the outside of the flag angle, as shown.

Important: Spacing specified below MUST be maintained between the end bear- ing bracket and the flag angle, prior to securing the end bearing bracket to flag angle and jamb. This is to ensure proper clearance of the counterbal- ance lift cable.

The spacing between the end bearing bracket and the flag angle is critical. Position the end bearing bracket between 1” (12” Radius) or 1/2” (15” Radius) from the top edge of flag angle. Once the end bearing bracket is properly positioned, tighten the 3/8”-16 nut to secure the end bearing bracket to the flag angle. Next, secure the end bearing bracket to the jamb using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws, as shown. Repeat same process for the other side.

Important: Failure to remove nail before attempting to raise door could cause permanent damage to top section.

Note: If an idrive® opener will be installed, position horizontal tracks slightly above level.

Note: If you have Fully Adjustable flag angles, complete this step.

To install horizontal track, place the top rail end over the top track roller of the top section. Align the bottom rail end of the horizontal track with the top of the vertical track. If you have Quick Install horizontal track, tighten the bottom rail of the horizontal track to the flag angle with (1) stud plate and (2) 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts. If you have Universal horizontal track, tighten the bottom rail of the horizontal track to the flag angle with (2) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts.

Locate the center of the door. Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the center. Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line which intersects the vertical pencil line. Align the edge of the center bracket with the vertical pencil line and the center of the center bracket with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion shaft is level between the center and end bearing brackets.

Attach the center bracket to the mounting surface, using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws and

(1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.

NOTE: Right and left hand is always determined from inside the garage looking out.

First, using a tape measure, determine if the bottom curve of the horizontal track is either 12” or 15” radius. End bearing brackets are right hand and left hand. Starting with the left hand
