WARNING

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® Plus 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).

IMPORTANT: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting
surface. Any wood found not to be sound, must be replaced.

WEATHER SEAL

For TorqueMaster® Plus counterbalance systems, a suitable
mounting pad (2” x 4”) 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 pad to avoid
splitting the lumber, and attach mounting pad with lag
screws of appropriate length. Do not attach the mounting
pad with nails.

Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):

Cut or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to fit the header
and jambs.

HEADROOM REQUIREMENT

For fully adjustable track: Align the header seal 1/8” to

1/4” inside 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 1/8” to 1/4” inside the
jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally spaced
nails. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the
opening during installation.
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.
NOTE: 6” LHR Conversion Kit is available for 12” track radius
only. Contact your local Wayne-Dalton dealer.

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

system, vertical track alignment is
critical. Position flagangle between
1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm)
from the edge of the door. Tighten the
bottom lag screw. Flagangles must be
parallel to the door sections. Repeat for
opposite side.

IMPORTANT: THE DIMENSION BETWEEN
THE FLAGANGLES MUST BE DOOR WIDTH
PLUS 3-3/8” (86 MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM)
FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERATION.

Complete the vertical track installation
by securing the center jamb bracket(s)
and tightening the other lag screws. Push
the vertical track against the rollers so
that the rollers are touching the deepest
part of the curved side of the track (see

Cleaning

Cleaning Your Garage Door

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!

While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a routine basis. Some discoloration of the
finish may occur when a door has been exposed to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a
result of direct exposure to sunlight.

Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing finish of the garage door, a
periodic washing of the garage door is recommended.

The following cleaning solution is recommended

A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm water will
aid in the removal of most dirt.

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.

CAUTION: NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.

GLASS CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean with a mild detergent solution (same as above) and a soft cloth. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly.

ACRYLIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean acrylic glazing with nonabrasive soap or detergent and plenty of water. Use your bare hands to feel and dislodge any caked on
particles. A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloths that will scratch
the acrylic glazing. Dry glazing with a clean damp chamois.

NOTE: DO NOT USE any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-based cleaners of any kind.

Painting

Surface Preparation for Painting

Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the
surface with a fine steel wool pad, saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove
any loose particles and any soapy film residue.

Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or No. 400 sand
paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the
likelihood for rusting is greatly increased.

If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal
primer, specifically intended for galvanized surfaces, to protect the area from corrosion. Allow for drying time on primer can label before
applying topcoat. The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to
it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the
factory-applied finish must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under
the paint.

Painting

After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then coated immediately with premium quality latex
house paint. Follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is
exposed and not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the exposed area.

NOTES:

1. Repainting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally beyond the door manufacturer’s control.

2. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.

3. Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular

attention to acceptable weather and temperature conditions in which to paint.

Limited Warranty

Models 8000, 8100, 8200 and 46

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Limited Warranty, Wayne-Dalton Corp. (“Manufacturer”) warrants the sections of the door, which
is described at the top of this page, for a period of TEN (10) YEARS from the date of installation against:

(i) The door becoming inoperable due to rust-through of the steel skin from the core of the door section, due to cracking, splitting, or other
deterioration of the steel skin, or due to structural failure caused by separation or degradation of the foam insulation.

(ii) Peeling of the original paint on the door as a result of a defect in the original paint or in the application of the original paint coating, in cases where
the door sections and the original paint: (a) have not been subjected to adverse atmospheric conditions or contaminates (such as salt water or
other marine environment, or to toxic or abrasive substances, including those in the air); (b) have been maintained in compliance
with Manufacturer’s recommendations; and (c) have not been subject to physical abrasion, impacted by a hard object, or punctured (including
without limitation “paint rub” occurring in metal to metal contact and movement).

The Manufacturer warrants the garage door hardware (except springs) and the tracks of the above-described door, for a period of TEN (10) YEARS
from the date of installation, against defects in material and workmanship, subject to all the terms and conditions below.
The Manufacturer warrants those component parts of the door not covered by the preceding provisions of this Limited Warranty against defects in

premises is sold), nor does it extend benefits to any other person. As a result this warranty does not apply to any person who purchases the product from
someone other than an authorized Wayne-Dalton dealer or distributor.
The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage attributable to improper storage, improper installation, or any alteration of the door or its
components, abuse, damage from corrosive fumes or substances, salt spray or saltwater air, fire, Acts of God, failure to properly maintain the door, or attempt
to use the door, its components or related products for other than its intended purpose and its customary usage. This Limited Warranty does not cover ordinary
wear. This Limited Warranty will be voided if the original finish is painted over, unless Manufacturer’s preparation and painting instructions are followed
explicitly. This Limited Warranty will be voided if any holes are drilled into the door, other than those specified by the Manufacturer.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS A CONSUMER PRODUCT AS DEFINED BY THE MAGNUSON-MOSS ACT. NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WILL EXTEND BEYOND THE TIME
