door. Sections are stamped for identiﬁcation, #1, #2, #3, and #4 (#4 only on four section high doors).

The stamp, located on each side of the sections identiﬁes the stacking sequence. The sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 being the highest top section. If the stamp on the section is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration. The section side view illustration shows the section proﬁle of all sections, and can also be used to identify each section.

The BOTTOM SECTION can be identiﬁed by #1. The INTERMEDIATE I SECTION can be identiﬁed by #2. The INTERMEDIATE II SECTION can be identiﬁed by #3, for a 4 section high door only. The TOP SECTION can be identiﬁed either by a #3, for a 3 section high door or by a #4, for a 4

NOTE: Center hinge(s) use #1 graduated end hinges at each pre-drilled or vertical stile location. The pre-drilled locations are located at the top and or bottom rails on the inside of the section surface.

STRUT IDENTIFICATION:

Identify your struts to determine which ones are long strut(s) or short strut(s). Short Strut(s) are typically installed along the top rail of the top section and or along the bottom

rail of the bottom section. Long Strut(s) are typically installed along the top and or bottom rails of sections. Measure the

height of the long strut(s) to determine if you have 2” or 3”. NOTE: Some struts also may or may not have holes in them. If they don’t, then prior to installing

the strut and hinge to the section surface, you may have to drill a 3/16” hole for the appropriate fastener on one or both sides of the strut legs.

Removing an Existing Door

IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.

WARNING WARNING

A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN, USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS, RELEASE THE SPRING TENSION.

For detailed information see supplemental instructions “Removing an Existing Door/ Preparing the Opening”. These instructions are not supplied with the door, but are available at no charge from Wayne-Dalton, A Division Of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope, OH., 44660, or at www.Wayne-Dalton.com.

Preparing the Opening

IMPORTANT: IF YOU JUST REMOVED YOUR EXISTING DOOR OR YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW DOOR, COMPLETE ALL STEPS IN PREPARING THE OPENING.

To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-ﬁt construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA technical data sheets #156, #161 and #164 at www.dasma.com.

The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed with wood jamb and header material. The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framing members. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top of the opening for Torsion counterbalance systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm), for 2” track. Minimum side clearance required, from the opening to the wall, is 4-1/2” (114 mm), for 3” track.

IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.

For Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be ﬁrmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.

NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.

WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):

Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if necessary) to properly ﬁt into the header and jambs.

NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required. NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.

For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the jamb, ﬁt the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.

Headroom requirement: Headroom is deﬁned as the space needed above the top of the door

Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instructions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an improperly installed door.

IMPORTANT: WOOD DOORS MUST BE COMPLETELY FINISHED (3 TOTAL COATS, INCLUDING PRIMER COAT) PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, TO ENSURE THAT THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SURFACES, AS WELL AS ALL EDGES OF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED AGAINST MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. WOOD DOORS, IN A NON-FINISHED CONDITION, MUST BE TRANSPORTED AND STORED SO THE WOOD SURFACES ARE NOT EXPOSED TO MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. IMPROPER TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE OR DELAYS IN FINISHING, THAT ALLOWS EXPOSURE OF THE WOOD DOOR SURFACES TO MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS WILL RESULT IN THE WARRANTY BEING VOIDED.

NOTE: Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at www.dasma.com.

Fully Adjustable Flag Angles

NOTE: If you have a wall angle track assembly or if you already have ﬂag angles pre-

attached to the vertical tracks, skip this step. Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine if you have ﬂag angles.

NOTE: Flag angles are right and left handed. If you have Fully Adjustable vertical tracks, hand tighten the left hand ﬂag angle to the left

hand vertical track using (2) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4”-20 ﬂange hex nuts. Repeat for other side. Flange nuts will be secured after ﬂag angle spacing is completed in step, Top Section.

NOTE: If you have a wall angle track assembly or if you already have jamb brackets pre-

attached to the vertical tracks, skip this step. Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine if you have jamb brackets.

NOTE: The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.

To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern. Secure jamb bracket using (1) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4”-20 ﬂange hex nut. Repeat for other side.

Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered between the bottom jamb bracket and ﬂag angle of the 2nd hole set. Secure jamb bracket using (1) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4”-20 ﬂange hex nut. Repeat for other side.

If a top jamb bracket was included, secure it to vertical track using the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4”-20 ﬂange hex nut. Repeat for other side.
