Preparing the Opening

Header board 2” x

Suitable mounting surface
2” x 6” lumber minimum

Tools Needed:

Recommended

tools from

page 5

WARNING

FAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACH A SUITABLE
MOUNTING PAD TO STRUCTURALLY SOUND FRAMING
COULD CAUSE SPRINGS TO VIOLENTLY PULL
MOUNTING PAD FROM WALL, RESULTING IN SEVERE
OR FATAL INJURY.

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 TorqueMaster
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).

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

For TorqueMaster® 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 3/16” pilot holes in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber.
Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.

Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):
Cut the weather seal (if necessary) to fit the header and jambs.

NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.

Align the header seal with the inside edge of the header and temporarily secure
it to the header with equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against
the header seal and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure
the jamb seals with equally spaced nails. This will keep the bottom section from
falling out of the opening during installation. Space nails approximately 12” apart.

NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb at this time.

HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the space needed above

the top of the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the
door is to be motor operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.

BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from
the opening back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

Installation

Begin the installation of the door by checking the opening. It must be the same size as the door. Vertical jambs must be plumb and header must be level. Side clearance,
from edge of door to wall, must be a minimum of 3-1/2” (89mm) on each side.

IMPORTANT: STAINLESS STEEL OR PT 2000 COATED LAG SCREWS (NOT SUPPLIED) MUST BE USED WHEN INSTALLING CENTER

BEARING BRACKETS, END BRACKETS, JAMB BRACKETS, OPERATOR MOUNTING/SUPPORT BRACKETS AND DISCONNECT BRACKETS
ON TREATED LUMBER (PRESERVATIVE-TREATED). STAINLESS STEEL OR PT 2000 COATED LAG SCREWS ARE NOT NECESSARY WHEN
INSTALLING PRODUCTS ON UNTREATED LUMBER.

IMPORTANT: WHEN INSTALLING 5/16” DIAMETER LAG SCREWS USING AN ELECTRIC DRILL/DRIVER, THE DRILL/DRIVER’S CLUTCH MUST
BE SET TO DELIVER NO MORE THAN 200 IN. LBS. OF TORQUE. FASTENER FAILURE COULD OCCUR AT A HIGHER SETTING.

NOTE: It is recommended that 5/16” lag screws be pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.

WARNING

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER

TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO
HANDS.

Double check to ensure the counterbalance cable is
aligned in the first and second groove of the cable
drum (see Step 21).

There are two methods for counting the spring turns
as you wind. One method is to identify the black tooth
on the ratchet wheel inside of the end bracket. When
the wheel makes one revolution and the tooth returns
to its starting point, one turn has been made. The
other method is to make a mark on the winding shaft
(or socket) and end bracket, and count your turns in
this manner.

Starting on the right hand side. Turn the pawl knob on
the end bracket to the upper position. Using a ratchet
wrench with a 5/8“ 16mm socket (NOTE: A 3” 76 mm

NUMBER OF TURNS:

For single spring applications: Return to the right

hand and continue winding the spring to the required
number of turns for your door. Place pawl knob in lower
position.
For double spring applications: Either use the black
tooth on the ratchet wheel for winding reference or
place a mark on the winding shaft and end bracket.
Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket onto the left hand
winding shaft end. To wind the spring, rotate the winding
shaft clockwise, while watching the black tooth on the

WARNING

RAISING DOOR FURTHER CAN
RESULT IN DOOR FALLING AND
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

Clamp a pair of vice clamps on the vertical tracks
just above the second roller on one side, 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 (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” to 7/8” maximum of door
edge.

NOTE: If an idrive® opener is installed, position
horizontal tracks one hole above level when
securting it to the rear.

WARNING

KEEP HORIZONTAL TRACK
PARALLEL AND WITHIN 3/4” TO
7/8” MAXIMUM OF DOOR EDGE,
OTHERWISE DOOR COULD FALL,
RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY OR
DEATH.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT SUPPORT THE
WEIGHT OF THE DOOR ON ANY PART OF
THE HORIZONTAL TRACK HANGER THAT
CANTILEVERS 4” OR MORE BEYOND A
SOUND FRAMING MEMBER.

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

NOTE: 26” 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 6).

Avoid pushing weather seal stop too tightly against
face of door.

Now, lift door and check it’s balance. Adjust, if
door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is
diffi cult to lift (easy to pull down). Anytime spring
adjustments are made, ratchet pawl knob must be
in the upper position to add/remove required
number of spring turns. To adjust springs, only add
or remove a maximum of 3/10 of a turn (three teeth

of ratchet wheel) at a time. Both sides need to be
adjusted equal on double spring doors.

Add Spring Tension: The ratchet wheel is made of
10 teeth. To add spring tension, ensure the ratchet
and socket is set so that it will tighten counter
clockwise on the right hand side, and clockwise on
the left hand side. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket

Tools Needed:

onto the winding shaft, pull down to add 3/10 of a
turn. Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel pass
over the pawl, creating three “clicks”.

Remove Spring Tension: To remove spring
tension, ensure the ratchet and socket is set so
that it will tighten counter clockwise on the right
hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. It is
recommended that a regular 5/8” wrench be used.
Place the wrench onto the winding shaft. Pull down
on the wrench to relieve pressure between the
pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push in on the pawl
to allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to pass by
the pawl, as you carefully allow the wrench to be
rotated upward by the spring tension. Release the
pawl to allow it to engage with the ratchet wheel.

IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO HOLD
THE FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE
MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURNS (1 SPRING
TURN EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET
WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED
NUMBER OF TURNS SHOWN ON THE
SPRING TURN CHART.

If the door still does not operate easily, lower the
door into the closed position, UNWIND SPRING (S)
COMPLETELY, and recheck the following items:

1.) Check the door for level.

2.) Check the TorqueMaster
flagangles for level and plumb.

3.) Check the distance between the flagangles-
must be door width plus 3-3/8” to 3-1/2”.

WARNING

TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, DO
NOT STAND OR WALK UNDER A MOVING
DOOR, OR PERMIT ANYONE TO STAND OR
WALK UNDER AN ELECTRICALLY OPER­ATED DOOR.

This door is equipped with a TorqueMaster® Plus
system, a safety feature which prevents the door
from rapidly descending in case of spring failure or
forceful manual operation. If the system engages
with the door in the open position, personal items
that are left unattended in the garage or home are
at risk to theft. To insure the safekeeping of these
items, close the garage door.
Typical signs of an engaged system:
Single spring system: Visually inspect the Torque-

®

Master

Plus right hand end bracket to confirm that
the system has engaged (see illustration). If the
system is engaged then the door will not close. If the
opener force settings were properly set during the
initial installation, the door will not open.

Cleaning

Like any other exterior surface, Wayne-Dalton garage doors will have dirt exposure from atmospheric conditions. Ordinarily, the cleaning action of rainfall will be adequate to
wash the door, or the door can be washed periodically by hosing with a garden hose and clear water (in particular) for the areas not accessible to rain. If you desire to do a
more thorough cleaning, or where soil collection conditions occur, follow these simple instructions.

1. Use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush. It attaches to your garden hose and makes washing your garage door easier. Do not rub vigorously which may create
glossy areas over the vinyl finish.

2. For hard-to-remove dirt, such as soot and grime found in industrial areas, wash the garage door down with a mild solution consisting of the following ingredients:
One cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm water.

NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for use in general cleaning of garage doors.
NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weather stripping on both sides and top of door.

3. Start at the bottom and work up to the top, as less streaking will result. Immediately following all washing operations, thoroughly rinse the surface area with fresh
water from a garden hose.

This cleaning and maintenance information is suggested in an effort to be of assistance; however, manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for results obtained which
are dependent on the cleaning solution and method of application.

CAUTION: DO NOT PAINT DOOR. PAINTING DOOR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
