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

WarningARNING

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.

NOTE: Windows will cause the top section to be significantly heavier than the remaining sections. Wayne-Dalton attempts to balance the door at the top and bottom. To prevent any sudden door acceleration between the top and bottom, we recommend motor operating all doors with windows. Doors with windows in the top section should not be manually operated.

Remove any vice clamps. Lift the door and check its balance. Adjust spring(s) if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). Anytime spring adjust- ments are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper position. An unbalanced door can cause operator or TorqueMaster® Plus operation problems.

Close the door and place vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just above the third track
