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 Fully Adjustable track: 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. 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. BACKROOM REQUIREMENTS 12”, 14” Radius 11” (279 mm) Header board 2”x 6” lumber preferred For detailed information see supplemental instructions “Removing an Existing Door/ Preparing the Opening”.

If you suspect problems, have a trained door system technician make the repairs. Cleaning Your Garage Door WARNING Like any other exterior surface, Wayne Dalton garage doors will have dirt exposure from atmospheric conditions. Ordinarily, the cleaning action of rainfall will be adequate to wash the door, or the door can be washed periodically by hosing with a garden hose and clear water (in particular) for the areas not accessible to rain. If you desire to do a more thorough cleaning, or where soil collection conditions occur, follow these simple instructions. 1. Use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush. It attaches to your garden hose and makes washing your garage door easier. Do not rub vigorously which may create glossy areas over the vinyl finish. 2. For hard-to-remove dirt, such as soot and grime found in industrial areas, wash the garage door down with a mild solution consisting of the following ingredients: One cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm water. 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 weather stripping on both sides and top of door. 3. Start at the bottom and work up to the top, as less streaking will result. Immediately following all washing operations, thoroughly rinse the surface area with fresh water from a garden hose. This cleaning and maintenance information is suggested in an effort to be of assistance; however, manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for results obtained which are dependent on the cleaning solution and method of application. 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.

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. 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. CAUTION: DO NOT PAINT DOOR. PAINTING DOOR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
