Wayne-Dalton 9700 Rear Support Continued, Full Tension Of The Spring, Spring Turn Chart

		Rear Support Continued...
	Now, lift door and check it’s balance. Adjust, if
Tools Needed:
	door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door
	is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). Anytime
	spring adjustments are made, ratchet pawl
	knob must be in the upper position to add/
	remove required number of spring turns (refer to
	step 21). To adjust springs, only add or remove
	a maximum of 3/10 of a turn (three teeth of
	ratchet wheel) at a time. Both sides need to be
	adjusted equally on double spring doors.
	Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is made
	of 10 teeth. To add spring tension, ensure the
	ratchet and socket is set so that it will tighten
	counter clockwise on the right hand side, and
	clockwise on the left hand side. Place the
	ratchet with 5/8” socket onto the winding shaft,
	pull down to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three
	teeth of the ratchet wheel pass over the pawl,
	creating three “clicks”.
	Remove Spring Tension: To remove spring
	tension, ensure the ratchet and socket is set so
	that it will tighten counter clockwise on the right
	hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. It
	is recommended that a regular 5/8” wrench be
	used. Place the wrench onto the winding shaft.
	Pull down on the wrench to relieve pressure
	between the pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push
	in on the pawl to allow the three ratchet wheel
	teeth to pass by the pawl, as you carefully allow
	the wrench to be rotated upward by the spring
	tension. Release the pawl to allow it to engage
	with the ratchet wheel.
	important: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE
	FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.
	Important: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE
	MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURNS (1 SPRING
	TURN EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET
	WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED
	NUMBER OF TURNS SHOWN ON THE
	SPRING TURN CHART.
	If the door still does not operate easily, lower the
	door into the closed position, UNWIND SPRING(S)
	COMPLETELY, and recheck the following items:
	1.)	Check the door for level.
	2.)	Check the TorqueMaster® tube and
	flagangles for level and plumb.
	3.)	Check the distance between the flagangles
	must be door width plus 3-3/8” to 3-1/2”.
	4.)	Check the counterbalance cables for equal
	tension, adjust if necessary.
	5.)	Rewind the spring(s).
	6.)	Make sure door isn’t rubbing on jambs.
	NOTE: If an idrive® was installed and
	you have completed your rear support
	installation, refer to the idrive Installation
	Instructions and Owner’s Manual to complete
	your idrive installation.
