Do not release the torsion spring

 

 

 

tension unless you are a qualified and

experienced door technician. Instead have

 

 

a professional door agency release the

 

 

 

tension.

 

 

 

Step 1: Close the door and place vice

 

 

 

clamps on the back legs of both vertical

 

 

 

tracks, above the third roller to prevent the

 

 

 

door from lifting as you unwind the springs.

 

 

 

Use only approved winding bars available

 

 

 

from your dealer. Do not use undersized

 

 

 

steel rods, screw drivers or anything else

 

 

 

to unwind the springs. Position the ladder

 

 

 

just off to the side of the winding cone.

 

 

 

The winding cone should be easy to reach

 

 

 

without putting your body directly in front

 

 

 

of it.

 

 

 

Step 2: Insert a winding bar into one of the

 

 

 

holes in the winding cone. Exert upward

 

 

 

pressure. Using caution, loosen the two

 

 

 

(2) set screws in the winding cone. Be

 

 

 

prepared to support the full torsional force

of the spring when the set screws are

 

 

 

 

 

loosened.

 

 

 

Step 3: Once set screws are loose, slowly

 

 

 

and carefully lower the winding rod until

 

 

 

it rests against the door. Insert other

 

 

 

winding bar into the upper hole. Push up

 

 

 

and remove lower bar. Carefully lower

 

 

 

upper winding bar, 1/4 turns at a time until

 

 

 

it rests against the door. Repeat process

 

 

 

until all tension is relieved. If your door

 

 

 

is equipped with two (2) torsion springs,

 

 

 

follow the same procedure to relieve

 

 

 

tension on the second spring.

 

 

 

Step 4: Remove vice clamps from tracks,

 

 

 

unbolt torsion shaft assembly and remove

 

 

 

from work area.
