24	Securing Drum Wraps
	Tools: Step ladder

NOTE: If you don’t have drum wraps, then skip this step. Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine if you have drum wraps.

Starting on the left hand side, position the left hand drum wrap, as shown. Slide the left hand drum wrap over the cable drum assembly.

IMPORTANT: Pull the counterbalance lift cable away from the header to clear the latch, while simultaneously sliding the drum wrap against the last rib until the three catches engage the 3rd rib.

Secure the hinge latch by rotating upward until a distinct snap is felt. Confirm the catch is fully engaged by lightly tugging on it. Repeat the same process for right hand side.

25	Rear Back Hangs
	Tools: Ratchet wrench, Socket: 1/2”, 5/8”, Wrench: 1/2”, 5/8”, (2) Vice

Important: Hold the door down to prevent it from rising unexpectedly in the event the spring(s) was over-wound and cautiously remove vice clamps from vertical tracks.

Raise the door until the top section and half of the next section are in the horizontal track radius. Do not raise door any further since rear of horizontal tracks are not yet supported.

WARNING

Raising door further can result in door falling and cause severe or fatal injury.

Clamp a pair of vice clamps onto the vertical tracks just above the second track roller on one side, and just below the second track roller on the other side. This will prevent the door from raising or lowering while installing the rear back hangs.

Using perforated angle (may not be supplied), (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” hex head lag screws and

(3) 5/16” bolts with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear back hangs for the horizontal

tracks. Attach the horizontal tracks to the rear back hangs with 5/16”-18 x 1 hex bolts and

nuts (may not be supplied). Horizontal tracks must be level and parallel with door within 3/4”

to 7/8” maximum of door edge.

NOTE: If an idrive® opener is installed, position horizontal tracks one hole above level when securing it to the rear back hangs.

WARNING

Keep horizontal tracks parallel and within 3/4” to 7/8” maxi- mum of door edge, otherwise door could fall, resulting in severe or fatal injury.

Important: Do not support the weight of the door on any part of the rear back hangs that cantilevers 4” or more beyond a sound framing member.

Note: If rear back hangs are to be installed over drywall, use (2) 5/16” x 2” hex head lag screws and make sure lag screws engage into solid structural lumber.

Note: 26” angle must be attached to sound framing members and nails should not be used.

Now, permanently attach the weatherstrips on both door jambs and header. The weather- strips were temporarily attached in Preparing the Opening, in the pre-installation section of this manual.

NOTE: When permanently attaching the weatherstrips to the jambs, avoid pushing the weath- erstrips too tightly against the face of door.

5/16”-18 x 1-1/4” Hex bolts must extend into the track to serve as a roller stop
