TorqueMaster® Plus Reset

Tools Needed:

WARNING

Prior to winding or making adjustments to the springs, ensure you’re winding in the proper direction as stated in the Installation Instructions. Otherwise the spring fittings may release from spring if not wound in the proper direction and could result in severe or fatal injury. Lift the door and check its balance. Adjust springs, if 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 (see illustration). An unbalanced door can cause idrive® or Torquemaster® Plus operation problems.

IMPORTANT! TO ADJUST SPRINGS, ONLY ADD OR REMOVE A MAXIMUM OF 3/10 OF A TURN (THREE TEETH ON THE RATCHET WHEEL) AT A TIME. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED EQUALLY ON DOUBLE SPRING DOORS.

Close the door and place vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just above the third roller. This is to prevent the garage door from raising while adjusting the counterbalance spring(s). To Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension, ensure the ratchet wrench is set so that it will tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side, and clockwise on the left hand side. Place the ratchet wrench 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”.

To Remove Spring Tension: To remove spring tension, ensure the ratchet wrench is set so that it will tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. Place the ratchet wrench with 5/8” socket onto the winding shaft. Pull down on the ratchet 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 ratchet wrench to be rotated upward by the spring tension. Release the pawl to allow it to engage with the ratchet wheel.

Remove the vice clamps from the vertical tracks, re-check door balance and adjust if necessary. When door is balanced and adjusted properly, place the ratchet pawl knobs in the active position (lower position).
