Clamp a pair of vice clamps onto the vertical tracks just above the second roller on one side and just below the second roller on the other side. This will prevent the door from raising or lowering while installing the rear support. Using perforated angle, 5/16” x 1-5/8” hex head lag screws and 5/16” bolts with nuts (these materials may not be supplied), fabricate rear support for horizontal tracks. Attach horizontal tracks to the rear supports with 5/16”- 18 x 1-1/4” hex bolts and nuts (may not be supplied). Horizontal tracks must be level and parallel to door within 3/4” maximum

of door edge.

WARNING

Keep horizontal track parallel and within 3/4” maximum of door edge, otherwise door could fall, resulting in severe or fatal injury.

NOTE: If rear supports are to be installed over drywall, use 5/16” x 2” hex head lag screws, and make sure lag screws engage solid structural lumber.

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

Now, permanently attach the weather seal to both door jambs and header. (Temporarily attached

in PREPARING THE OPENING on page 5). Avoid pushing weather seal stop too tightly against face of door.

Place the Windload label on the intermediate section as shown.

Now, lift door and check its balance. Adjustments to the required number of turns stated may be necessary. If door raises off floor under spring tension alone, reduce spring tension until door rests on the floor. If the door is hard to raise or drifts down on its own, add spring tension. A poorly balanced door can cause garage door opener operation problems.
