IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER GLOVES BE WORN
WHILE WINDING THE TORQUEMASTER
®
PLUS SPRINGS.
FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE INJURY TO
HANDS.
Starting with the right hand side, place a mark on winding shaft (or 5/8”
socket) and end bracket. Turn the pawl knob on the end bracket to the upper
position. Using a ratchet wrench with a 5/8“ socket, wind the spring by
rotating the winding shaft counter clockwise, while watching the mark on the
winding shaft, as shown in Fig. 3.6.
NOTE: A 3” extension is recommended to provide added clearance from the
horizontal angle, as shown in Fig. 3.6.
IMPORTANT: PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER POSITION TO ADD / REMOVE
REQUIRED NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS, AS SHOWN IN FIG. 3.9.
After 2-3 turns, remove the ratchet wrench and adjust the cable on the left
side, to ensure the cable is in the first groove of the cable drum.
NOTE: Single spring applications require no spring winding on the left hand
side, but does require cable adjustment.
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE CABLE TENSION MUST BE EQUAL ON BOTH
SIDES PRIOR TO FULLY WINDING SPRINGS.
SEE THE SPRING TURN CHART FOR THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF TURNS,
AS SHOWN IN FIG. 3.7
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, as shown
in Fig. 4.0.
For double spring applications:
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 mark on the winding shaft.
Rotate the winding shaft to the required number of turns for your door.
Then return to the right hand side and wind the right hand spring to the
required number of turns. Place pawl knob in lower position on both sides, as
shown in Fig. 4.0.
IMPORTANT: MARK NUMBER OF SPRING TURNS ON TORQUEMASTER
®
PLUS
END BRACKET WARNING TAG(S), as shown in Fig. 3.8.
NOTE: Since total turns to balance door may deviate from SPRING TURN
CHART values by ± 1/2 turn, adjustments to the recommended number of
turns may be necessary.
IMPORTANT! HOLD THE DOOR DOWN TO PREVENT IT FROM RAISING
UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE EVENT THE SPRING WAS OVERWOUND AND
CAUTIOUSLY REMOVE VICE CLAMPS FROM VERTICAL TRACKS.
