The backroom distance is<br />
measured from the back<br />
of the door into the<br />
site, <strong>and</strong> should be at<br />
least 18" more than the<br />
height of the industrial<br />
door.<br />
step one:<br />
A minimum side room of 4" should be available on each side of the<br />
door on the interior wall surface to allow for attachment of the<br />
vertical track assembly. The rough opening should be the same size<br />
as the door.<br />
Headroom is the space needed above the top of the<br />
door for the door, the overhead tracks, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
springs. Measure to check that there are no<br />
obstructions within that space,20" headroom<br />
required at least for industiral door.<br />
vertical tracks<br />
Please keep in mind that the clearance<br />
between the door edge <strong>and</strong> the vertical<br />
track inside edge is 20mm-25mm<br />
(each side,grey part).<br />
On the inside of the opening should be framed with wood<br />
jambs, 2" x 6" if possible. The side<br />
jambs should extend to approximately the same height as<br />
the headroom required.<br />

step two:<br />
I&J: After checked the aboved<br />
sizes,then install the protection track<br />
I <strong>and</strong> vertical track J accordingly: THE<br />
VERTICAL PROTECTION TRACKS MUST BE<br />
PARRLLEL.In other words,the distance<br />
between the track must be the same at<br />
the top <strong>and</strong> at the bottom. The top of<br />
the vertical tracks must be level as<br />
compared to each other.If possible<br />
please use the gravity dropper to test.<br />
The tops of the vertical tracks must be level with each other.If two vertical<br />
tracks are not level,cut the bottom of one of the tracks or lift the other.<br />

WARNING: WINDING THE TORSION SPRING CALLS<br />
FOR EXTREME CAUTION : CARELESSNESS COULD<br />
LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES.<br />
WARNING:THIS PART REQUIRES THE MOST<br />
ATTENTION ON SAFETY.<br />
Loosen the set screws one the<br />
winding cone of the spring,<strong>and</strong> then<br />
using the winding bar(not included)<br />
to wind the spring by truning the<br />
winding cone TOWARD THE CEILING.<br />
The wire must point in the same<br />
direction as you are winding.<br />
N.: Always wind toward the ceiling.<br />
Note: wind the spring 2 ~ 3 turns<br />
first, then make the complete<br />
turns as recommended:<br />
door height 2100mm 6turns<br />
door height 2400mm 7turns<br />
door height 2700mm 8turns<br />
Then tighten the set screws of the<br />
winding cone(add half a turn after<br />
feeling a pressure on the shaft.Do<br />
not forget to tighten the pressure<br />
screw before taking out the winding<br />
bars ).<br />
The winding bars must have the same<br />
diameter as the holes on the<br />
winding cone <strong>and</strong> must be pushed in<br />
as depth as possible into it.<br />
NEVER USE SCREWDRIVERS FOR THIS<br />
STEP.<br />
step seven:<br />
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS IN<br />
CLOSED POSITION.<br />
Remember that each hole on the winding cone is one quarter of a<br />
turn. The number of turns are indicated on the red line affixed<br />
on the spring.<br />
NEVER REMOVE A WINDING BAR OF ITS HOLE UNTIL THE OTHER WINDING<br />
BAR IS IN PLACE AND THAT YOU ARE HOLDING IT FIRMLY. YOU MUST BE<br />
VERY CAREFUL AT THIS POINT.<br />
Once this operation is completed, remove the locking pliers from<br />
the shaft,then only unlock the door, open <strong>and</strong> close the door<br />
slowly manually.You can now check if the door is well-balanced;<br />
ideally, it should stabilize where you stop pushing it up or<br />
pulling it down.<br />
If the door is heavy to lift, increase the torsion spring<br />
tension. If the door goes up too fast, decrease the torsion<br />
spring tension. Add or delete 1/4 turn at a time, alternating<br />
torsion springs. Recheck the balance. Repeat this procedure<br />
until the door rolls smoothly with a satisfactory balance.<br />
12
final checkings:<br />
a,re-adjust torsion spring if necessary,always close the door <strong>and</strong><br />
latch before adjusting.<br />
b,lubricate all moving parts.<br />
step eight:<br />
c,if door doesnot work<br />
easily,double-check the<br />
installation process<br />
especially the step ten &<br />
eleven.<br />
d, make sure spacing of<br />
track is correct <strong>and</strong> that<br />
door is not binding any<br />
place.<br />
balance the door<br />
with the level<br />

1, the door becomes very heavy <strong>and</strong> only goes up harfway.<br />
The torsion spring(s) has been installed backwards<br />
2, the door opens very fast <strong>and</strong> is hard to bring back down.<br />
The spring has been wound too much,it is too tight.Adjust the tension according to the type of spring.<br />
3, the door closes fast <strong>and</strong> is hard to lift.<br />
The spring has not been wound enough,it is too loose.Adjust the tension according to the type of spring.<br />
4, the door works well but it goes back up 2 to 3 inches.<br />
The spring is a little too tight.Adjust the tension according to the type of spring.<br />
5, the door is hard to open at first.<br />
The weatherstripping is too tight.Loosen it <strong>and</strong> place it a little farther from the door(the base of the<br />
weatherstripping should be at about 1/2” from the door)<br />
6, the door is hard to open at the end.<br />
The horizontal tracks are not perpendicular with the axis of the door.Use a tape measure to check this.<br />
7, the top panel does not close completely.<br />
Adjust the position of the upper brackets.<br />
Troubleshooting<br />
8, The door slanting as it moves:<br />
The cable tightness of the two sides of the door is not the same --- Readjust the winding drum<br />
9, louder noise as door moving:<br />
a, Hardware is not fully tightened --- Fully tighten them<br />
b, The curved power arm of the motor is not aligned with the door center --- Adjust the arm to align it with<br />
the door center line<br />
c, The two side tracks are not parallel to each other --- Adjust level, vertical tracks to keep them<br />
d, Didn’t lubricate the hinges <strong>and</strong> the winding drum --- Lubricate the hinges <strong>and</strong> the winding drum<br />

Maintaineance<br />
A, The door - clean door surface with a mild household detergent(as you would use for your car) with the brush.<br />
Thoroughly rinse the surface with a garden hose. Avoid abrasive cleaners(ex.:Spic’n’ Span) or strong liquid soaps.<br />
B, Weatherstripping – The weatherstripping is make of quality P.V.C. rubber <strong>and</strong> therefore should be cleaned with an<br />
all-purpose vinyl cleanser,Lubricate the weatherstripping every 2 months(more frequently for high usage door) with a<br />
silicon-based oil. Don’t use petroleum-based oils as this will cause loss of elasticity.Petroleum attacks the<br />
rubber <strong>and</strong> decreases its flexibility.<br />
C, Track,hinges,rollers – Lubricated the rollers(Do not lubricate nylon rollers) <strong>and</strong> hinges with a small amount of<br />
light household oil.For the track,use a small amount of grease (as you would use for your car).removing the old grease<br />
with a rag.Apply this grease primarily in the curve of the track.Using grease will result in the quieter operation<br />
of your door(as both the rollers <strong>and</strong> track are steel). To replace bent hinge(s) or broken roller(s). No more than<br />
1 hinge is to be removed from the door at any given time.<br />
D, Automatic door opener – Lightly lubricate with the light household oil.Carefully read the instructions<br />
provided by the manufacturer.<br />
E, Open <strong>and</strong> close the door manually once a month to check the balance system <strong>and</strong> if non-smooth move occurs.<br />
Please invite the qualified maintenance staff to repair it immediately when you find any problem.<br />
F, Warning – Every 3months disconnect the opener(pull the cord) <strong>and</strong> open the door by h<strong>and</strong> several times.If you have<br />
dificulty opening the door,your opener will have the same difficulty. We suggest don't attempt to make repaires on<br />
your garage door without the assistance of a qualified professional door techinican.<br />
G, For your security – The spring assembly,the hardware attached to it <strong>and</strong> the cables are under extreme tension.<br />
Never attempt to loosen them unless all tension is first removed from springs. Always call your door dealer.<br />
