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
3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” Hex bolts (as required)
3
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 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: For doors with 32” Radius Horizontal Track, the headroom requirements needed would
be door height + 30”.
Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening
back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

IMPORTANT: WHEN CONNECTING A TROLLEY TYPE GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO THIS DOOR,
A MANUFACTURER OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO
THE TOP SECTION OF THE DOOR IF ONE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, ALONG WITH ANY STRUTS
PROVIDED WITH THE DOOR (IF A MANUFACTURER OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET WAS NOT
PROVIDED WITH YOUR DOOR, THAN USE THE ONE PROVIDED BY YOUR OPERATOR MANUFACTURER). THE INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATOR MUST BE ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY.
NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an existing operator.
NOTE: Refer to illustrations to determine which top fixtures were supplied with your door.
FOLLOW THE CORRESPONDING STEP BELOW:
A: Place the bottom halve of drawbar operator bracket inside the top halve of drawbar operator bracket and flush against the inside surface of the top section. Adjust both the top and
bottom halves out as far apart as possible on the section surface. Secure the bottom halve
drawbar operator bracket and the top halve drawbar operator bracket together using (4)
5/16”-18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and (4) 5/16”-18 flange hex nuts.
NOTE: Install the 5/16”-18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and the 5/16”-18 flange hex nuts as far
apart as possible, prior to securing both top and bottom halves together.
Now, locate the center of the top section and align the center of the holes in the drawbar operator bracket assembly with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket
assembly vertically.
Slide the top halve of the drawbar operator bracket under the strut, keeping the drawbar
operator bracket aligned with the center line. Remove the strut’s screws, if necessary and
attach to the top section (through strut if necessary) using (3) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self-drilling
screws.
NOTE: If your door lacks a strut on the top section, ignore the previous paragraph.
Attach the bottom halve of the drawbar operator bracket to the section surface using (3)
1/4”-20 x 7/8” self-drilling screws.
NOTE: When attaching drawbar operator bracket to top section with strut, apply additional
pressure to thread into the strut.

NOTE: Right and left hand is always determined from inside the garage looking out.
First, using a tape measure, determine if the bottom curve of the horizontal track is either 12”
or 15” radius. End bearing brackets are right hand and left hand. Starting with the left hand
side, position the left hand end bearing bracket above the left hand flag angle, as shown.
Loosely attach the end bearing bracket to the flag angle using (1) 3/8”-16 x 3/4” truss head
bolt and (1) 3/8”-16 nut.
NOTE: Ensure the 3/8”-16 x 3/4” truss head bolt is going through the inside portion of flag
angle first and the 3/8”-16 hex nut is on the outside of the flag angle, as shown.
IMPORTANT: SPACING SPECIFIED BELOW MUST BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE END BEARING BRACKET AND THE FLAG ANGLE, PRIOR TO SECURING THE END BEARING BRACKET TO
FLAG ANGLE AND JAMB. THIS IS TO ENSURE PROPER CLEARANCE OF THE COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE.
The spacing between the end bearing bracket and the flag angle is critical. Position the
end bearing bracket between 1” (12” Radius) or 1/2” (15” Radius) from the top edge of flag
angle. Once the end bearing bracket is properly positioned, tighten the 3/8”-16 nut to secure
the end bearing bracket to the flag angle. Next, secure the end bearing bracket to the jamb
using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws, as shown. Repeat same process for the other side.
NOTE: Pilot drill all 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.

Locate the center of the door. Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above
the door, at the center. Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing
brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance
upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line
which intersects the vertical pencil line. Align the edge of the center bracket with the vertical
pencil line and the center of the center bracket with the horizontal pencil line; this is to
ensure the torsion shaft is level between the center and end bearing brackets.
Attach the center bracket to the mounting surface, using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws and
(1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.
NOTE: Pilot drill all 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.
IMPORTANT: USE A 5/16” X 1-5/8” TAMPER-RESISTANT LAG SCREW INSTEAD OF THE

Maintenance
avoid possible damage to your door, Wayne Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section
on models 8000, 8100, 8200 and 9100 doors with a u-bar (may or may not be supplied).
The installation of the opener must be according to manufacturer’s instructions and force
settings must be adjusted properly. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electric
opener for complete details on installation, operation, maintenance and testing of the opener.
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/opener 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, cables, rollers, pulleys, 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 and/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 weather stripping on both sides and top of door.
CAUTION: NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
WARNING
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, 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 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
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 opener, 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. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust
Torsion Springs yourself. 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 rollers are rotating freely when
opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, removing dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant)
hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon 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”.
Operation and Maintenance
OPERATING YOUR GARAGE DOOR…
