water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only to remove any loose particles and any soapy film residue.

Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or no. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased.

If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer specifically intended for galvanized surfaces to protect the area from corrosion. Allow for drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.

The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the factory-applied finish must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint.

Painting

After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then coated immediately with premium quality latex house paint. Follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the exposed area.

NOTES:

1.Re-painting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally beyond the door manufacturer’s control.

2.Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.

3.Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to acceptable weather and temperature condi- tions in which to paint.

Operation and Maintenance

OPERATING YOUR GARAGE DOOR…

Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. When correctly installed, your Wayne-Dalton door will operate smoothly. Always operate your door with controlled movements. Do not slam your door or throw your door into the open position, this may cause damage to the door or its components. If your door has an electric opener, refer to the owner’s manual to disconnect the opener before performing manual door operation below.

Manual door operation:

For additional information on manual garage door operations go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 165.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HANDS INTO SECTION JOINTS WHEN OPENING AND/OR CLOSING A DOOR. ALWAYS USE LIFT HANDLES/ SUITABLE GRIPPING POINTS WHEN OPERATING THE DOOR MANUALLY.

Opening a Door: Make sure the lock(s) are in the unlocked position. Lift the door by using the lift handles/ suitable gripping points only. Door should open with little resistance.

Closing a Door: From inside the garage, pull door downward using lift handles/ gripping point only or a high friction area only. If you are unable to reach the lift handles/ suitable gripping points only, use pull rope affixed to the side of door. Door should close completely with little resistance.

Using an electric opener:

IMPORTANT: PULL ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.

When connecting a trolley type garage door opener to this door, an opener and/or trolley bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any u-bars provided with the door. Always use the opener and/or trolley bracket supplied with the door. To avoid possible damage to your door, Wayne-Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section on models 8000, 8100, 8200 and 9100 doors with a u-bar (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the opener must be according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electric opener for complete details on installation, operation, maintenance and testing of the opener.

MAINTAINING YOUR GARAGE DOOR…

Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance steps once a month, and have the door profes- sionally inspected once a year. Review your Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual for the garage door. These instructions are available at no charge from Wayne-Dalton Corp., P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope, Oh 44660, or at www.wayne-dalton.com. For additional information on garage door/opener maintenance go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.

Monthly Inspections:

1.Visual Inspection: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any wood found not to be structurally sound must be replaced. Inspect the springs, cables, rollers, pulleys, back hangs and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws and/or bolts. Check exterior surface of the door sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has not shifted right and/or left in the opening. If you suspect problems, have a trained door system technician make the repairs.

WARNING

GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS, CABLES, BRACKETS, AND OTHER HARDWARE AT- TACHED TO THE SPRINGS ARE UNDER EXTREME TENSION, AND IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. ONLY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN SHOULD ADJUST THEM, BY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING

NEVER REMOVE, ADJUST, OR LOOSEN THE BOLTS, SCREWS AND/OR LAG SCREWS ON THE COUNTERBALANCE (END OR CENTER BEARING BRACKETS) SYSTEM OR BOTTOM BRACKETS OF THE DOOR. THESE BRACKETS ARE CON- NECTED TO THE SPRING(S) AND ARE UNDER EXTREME TENSION. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, HAVE ANY SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A TRAINED DOOR

SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

Torquemaster® Plus Springs: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster® end brackets above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of spring failure or forceful manual operation.

Torsion Springs: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.

Extension Springs: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.

2.Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door opener, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance. Adjust Torquemaster® or Extension spring(s), if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust Torquemaster® or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door systems technician.

3.Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door rollers are rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, re- moving dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant) hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.
