IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE
ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
WARNING
A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR
SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN, USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS,
RELEASE THE SPRING TENSION.
For detailed information see supplemental instructions “Removing an Existing Door/ Preparing the Opening”. These instructions are not supplied with the door, but are available at no
charge from Wayne Dalton, A Division Of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope,
OH., 44660, or at www.Wayne-Dalton.com.
Preparing the Opening
IMPORTANT: 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 Torsion 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.
For Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly
attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not
attach the mounting surface with nails.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if necessary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
For Quick Install track: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge of the
header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either
side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in
the header and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip
with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling
out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
For other tracks: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header edge,
and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of
the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the
header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with
equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out
of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
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” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local
Wayne Dalton dealer.

When installing your door you must use sections of the appropriate height in the right stacking order. What sections heights you need to use in what order depends on the height of your
door.
Unless your door is six sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate III section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by the factory attached bottom bracket warning
labels on each end stile.
The INTERMEDIATE I SECTION may have a warning label attached to either right or left
hand end stile of the section. This section is always the 3rd section from the bottom of the
door.

Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening
back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.
*NOTE: For door heights from 10’1” to 14’0”, refer to your operator manufacture installation
instructions for appropriate depth into room.

Wayne Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section on models 8000, 8100, 8200 and
9100 doors with a strut (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the drawbar operator must be according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted
properly. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your drawbar operator for complete
details on installation, operation, maintenance and testing of the operator.
MAINTAINING YOUR GARAGE DOOR…
Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance steps once a month, and have the
door professionally inspected once a year. Review your Installation Instructions and Owner’s
Manual for the garage door. These instructions are available at no charge from Wayne Dalton,
A Division Of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope, OH., 44660, or at www.
Wayne-Dalton.com. For additional information on garage door/operator maintenance go to
www.dasma.com and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.
Monthly Inspections:
1. Visual Inspection: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any wood found
not to be structurally sound must be replaced. Inspect the springs, counterbalance lift cables,
track rollers, pulleys, rear back hangs and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken
parts. Tighten any loose screws and/or bolts. Check exterior surface of the door sections
for any minor cracks. Verify door has not shifted right or left in the opening. If you suspect
problems, have a trained door system technician make the repairs.
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 weatherstrips on both sides and top of door.
WARNING
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 solventbased cleaners of any kind.
GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS, COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, BRACKETS, AND OTHER HARDWARE ATTACHED TO THE SPRINGS ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION, AND IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, CAN CAUSE SEVERE
OR FATAL INJURY. ONLY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN
SHOULD ADJUST THEM, BY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
NEVER REMOVE, ADJUST, OR LOOSEN THE BOLTS, SCREWS AND/OR
LAG SCREWS ON THE COUNTERBALANCE (END OR CENTER BEARING
BRACKETS) SYSTEM OR BOTTOM CORNER BRACKETS OF THE DOOR.
THESE BRACKETS ARE CONNECTED TO THE SPRING(S) AND ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY,
HAVE ANY SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Painting Your Garage Door
Refer to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass or Steel Door Sections”.
Maintaining The Finish
On Your Garage Door
TorqueMaster® Plus Springs: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster® end brackets above
the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of spring
failure or forceful manual operation.
Torsion Springs: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a
trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
Extension Springs: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension
spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door
drawbar operator, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance.
Adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s), if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if
door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs
yourself. To adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions
and owner’s manual. If in question about any of the procedures, do not perform the work.
Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door systems technician.
3. Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door track rollers
are rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If track rollers do not rotate freely,
clean the door tracks, removing dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a
non-silicon based lubricant) graduated end hinges, steel track rollers and bearings. DO NOT
lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon track rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if
actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.
If the factory finish is beginning to fade, the door may require a field applied top clear coat.
Depending on environment and usage, this may be necessary after 1 to 3 years of use. Refer
to Instruction Insert “Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass Or Steel Door Sections”.
