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 TorqueMaster
®
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 TorqueMaster
®
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.
NOTE: 6” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local
Wayne Dalton dealer.
Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

Final Adjustments
Tools Required: Tape measure, Level, Step ladder, Safety glasses, Leather gloves
Now lift the door and check its balance. If the door is hard to pull down or lifts by itself, adjust extension spring length by moving the “S” hook backward (towards the rear back hangs) to a different hole in the horizontal angle.
If the door is difficult to lift or too easy to pull down, adjust extension spring length by moving the “S” hook forward (towards the header) to a different hole in the horizontal angle.
IMPORTANT: WHENEVER ADJUSTING EXTENSION SPRING LENGTH FOR DOOR BALANCE,
ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR TO THE FULLY OPEN POSITION AND RETURN THE LOCKING PLI-
ERS TO THE HORIZONTAL TRACKS BELOW THE BOTTOM TRACK ROLLERS.
If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position and recheck the following items:
1.) Check the door for level.
2.) Check the distance between flag angles - must be door width plus 3-3/8” + 1/4” - 0”.
3.) Check the counterbalance lift cables for equal tension - adjust by re-tieing the special knot.

Maintenance
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.
or drawbar operator bracket supplied with the door. To avoid possible damage to your door,
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…

TEN (10) YEARS on Product hardware and tracks (except springs).

Seller’s obligation under this warranty is specifically limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, any part which is determined by Seller to be defective during the applicable warranty period. Any labor charges are excluded and will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty is made to the original purchaser of the Product only, and is not transferable or assignable. This warranty applies only to Product installed in a residential or other non-commercial application. It does not cover any Product installed in commercial or industrial building applications. This warranty does not apply to any unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product, or to any Product or component which has been damaged or deteriorated due to misuse, neglect, accident, failure to provide necessary maintenance, normal wear and tear, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller or as a result of having been exposed to toxic or abrasive environments, including blowing sand, salt water, salt spray and toxic chemicals and fumes.

DAMAGES, even if Seller has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
