Attaching Weather Seal
Permanently attach the weatherstrips on both door jambs and header. The weatherstrips
were temporarily attached in Preparing the Opening, in the pre-installation section of this
manual.
NOTE: When permanently attaching the weatherstrips to the jambs, avoid pushing the weath-
erstrips too tightly against the face of door.

Balancing Door
NOTE: Windows may cause the top section to be significantly heavier than the remaining
sections. Wayne Dalton attempts to balance the door at the top and bottom. To prevent any
sudden door acceleration between the top and bottom, we recommend motor operating all
doors with windows.
Remove any locking pliers. Lift the door and check its balance. Adjust spring(s) if door lifts by
itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (drifts down). Anytime spring adjustments
are made, ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper position. An unbalanced door can cause
TorqueMaster Plus operation problems.
®
Close the door and place locking pliers onto both vertical tracks just above the third track
roller. This is to prevent the garage door from rising while adjusting the spring(s).
IMPORTANT: TO ADJUST SPRINGS, ONLY ADD OR REMOVE A MAXIMUM OF 3/10 OF
A TURN (THREE TEETH ON THE RATCHET WHEEL) AT A TIME. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE
ADJUSTED EQUALLY ON DOUBLE SPRING DOORS.
WARNING
WINDING SPRINGS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
ADD SPRING TENSION: The ratchet wheel is made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension,
tighten counter clockwise on the right hand side and clockwise on the left hand side. Place
pawl knob in upper position. Place the ratchet with 5/8" socket and 3" ratchet extension
onto the winding shaft, to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth of the ratchet wheel pass
over the pawl, creating three "clicks". Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring
applications, repeat the same process for the other side.
REMOVE SPRING TENSION: To remove spring tension, place a regular 5/8" wrench onto the
winding shaft. Place pawl knob in upper position.
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO HOLD THE FULL TENSION OF THE SPRING.
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. Place pawl knob in lower position. For double spring applications,
repeat the same process for the other side.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE MORE THAN 1 SPRING TURN (1 SPRING TURN
EQUALS 10 TEETH ON RATCHET WHEEL) FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF TURNS
SHOWN ON THE WINDING 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.) Is the door level?
2.) Are the TorqueMaster spring tube and flag angles level and plumb?
®
3.) Does the distance between the flag angles equal door width plus 3-3/8" to 3-1/2"?
4.) Do the counterbalance lift cables have equal tension? Adjust if necessary.
5.) Rewind the spring(s).
6.) Make sure door is not rubbing on jambs.
