Wayne-Dalton 9800 Stacking Sections, Top Section, Top Fixtures, Drawbar Operator Bracket

8	Stacking Sections	10	Drawbar Operator Bracket
	Tools Required: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver		Tools Required: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

NOTE: The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed end hinges. The smallest graduated end hinge on section should be stacked on top of the bottom section, with each graduated end hinge increasing as the sections are stacked, see Parts Breakdown.

NOTE: Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another section on top.

NOTE: Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges. Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.

With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower section until it is seated against bottom section. Align vertical marks in the upper alignment sticker, with the lower alignment sticker on right hand side, on the back of door. Keep sec- tions aligned and fasten center hinge(s) first; then end hinges last using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws.

NOTE: To prevent center hinge leaf(s) from rotating, first secure the top middle hole of the center hinge leaf with one 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw then secure the other two holes.

NOTE: Larger doors with double graduated end hinges, fasten both hinges to connect the sections using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws.

Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.

NOTE: If you’re installing a drawbar operator, the drawbar operator bracket must be mounted and secured prior to installing top section.

IMPORTANT: when connecting a drawbar operator type garage door opener to this door, a Wayne-Dalton operator/ drawbar operator bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any strut provided with the door. The installation of the drawbar operator must be ac- cording to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly.

Remove, but retain (4-6) 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws from the center of the strut, allowing the drawbar operator bracket to slide between the section and the strut.

NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist- ing drawbar operator.

Locate the center of the top section and slide drawbar operator bracket under strut until the drawbar operator bracket is seated against the strut flange.

NOTE: Prior to fastening drawbar operator bracket to top section, ensure the top edge of drawbar operator bracket is aligned with the top edge of the section, as shown.

Attach the drawbar operator bracket using (8) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws (as shown). Finish re-attaching the strut using the self tapping screws removed previously.

IMPORTANT: Push & hold the hinge leafs securely against the sections while securing with 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws. There should be no gap between the hinge leafs and the sections.

Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail in the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first and end hinges last

	Tools Required: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

Remove, but retain (2-4) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screws from the right side of the strut, allowing enough room to slide the top fixture between the section and the strut.

Slide the top fixture assembly between the strut and section. Align the edge of the top fixture parallel to the top section edge. Secure the top fixture and strut to the top section with (3) 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws through the upper and lower slots of the top fixture. Fin- ish re-attaching the strut using the 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws removed previously. Insert track roller into top fixture. Repeat for left hand side.

(refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. Position flag angle or wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles or wall angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat for other side.

Important: the dimension between the flag angles or wall angles must be door width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for smooth, safe door opera- tion.

For Quick Install Track: Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.

For Fully Adjustable track or Riveted Track: Complete the vertical track instal- lation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.
