REMOVE THIS TAG.

IMPORTANT! Right and left hand is always determined from inside the building looking out.

WARNING

COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST BE RELIEVED BEFORE REMOVING ANY HARDWARE. A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

Drum Wrap

Cable Drum

Remove the drum wraps from cable drums (if installed) by twisting the drum wrap while pulling it away from the drum, as shown in Fig. 1.1.

Check for spring tension by pulling the counterbalance cable on the right hand cable drum away from the header, as shown in Fig. 1.2.

STEP 1: If there is no spring tension the cable will be loose. In addition, the torque tube should be free to rotate in either direction. If there is no spring tension, proceed to Step 3. If the counterbalance cable is still taut and the torque tube is difﬁcult to rotate, that is an indication that spring tension still exists, proceed to Step 2.

WARNING

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER GLOVES BE WORN WHILE UNWINDING THE TORQUEMASTER® PLUS SPRINGS. FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO HANDS.

STEP 2: If there is spring tension and starting with the right hand side, ensure ratchet pawl knob is in upper position, as shown in Fig. 1.3.

IMPORTANT! PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER POSITION TO REMOVE SPRING TENSION, AS SHOWN IN FIG. 1.3.

Place a ratchet with a 5/8” socket on the winding shaft, as shown in Fig. 1.4.

NOTE: A 3” extension is recommended for added clearance from the horizontal track assembly.

Spring Turns

To remove spring tension, ensure the ratchet and socket is set so that it will add tension (counter clockwise) on the right hand side and (clockwise) on the left hand side. Rotate ratchet to relieve pressure between the pawl and the ratchet wheel. Push in on the pawl to allow the ratchet wheel teeth to pass by.

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

Gently let the ratchet rotate upward, while watching the number of teeth on the ratchet wheel pass by the pawl. Remove 3/10 of a turn (watch the 3 teeth of the ratchet wheel pass the pawl) at a time.

Release the pawl to allow it to engage with the ratchet wheel. Repeat this process until all spring tension has been removed from spring.

For Double Springs, repeat the same process for the left hand side. Cables should be loose and the torque tube should be free to rotate in either direction.
