	recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA Technical
	Data Sheets #156, #161 and #164 at www.dasma.com.	Plumb jambs
	The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed
	with wood jamb and header material. The jambs and header must
	be securely fastened to sound framing members. It is recommended		Door
	that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb and the
	header level. The jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm)		Width
	above the top of the opening for TorqueMaster® counterbalance
	systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend
	to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the
	opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).
	IMPORTANT: Closely inspect jambs, header and
	mounting surface. Any wood found not to be sound,
	must be replaced.
	For TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting		Headroom
	surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly attached to the wall, above the	Header					Backroom
	header at the center of the opening.
	NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid
	splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.						Jamb
	Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):
	Cut the weather seal if necessary to fit the header and jambs.
	For quick install track: Align the header seal with the inside edge	Jamb	WEATHER SEAL
	of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally
	spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the header
	seal and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure
	the jamb seals with equally spaced nails. This will keep the bottom
	section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally
	space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
	For fully adjustable track: Align the header seal 1/8” to 1/4” inside
	the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally
	spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the header
	seal and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb
