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 five sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate II 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.

Removing an Existing Door
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE
ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
3
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.
Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

NOTE: Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine which bottom corner brackets you have.
Uncoil the counterbalance lift cables. Depending on which bottom corner brackets you have
(reference illustrations below), slip the loop at the ends of the counterbalance lift cable over the milford pin of the bottom corner bracket or secure the cable loop to the clevis pin and bottom corner bracket using a flat washer and a cotter pin. Repeat for other bottom corner bracket.
FAILURE TO ENSURE TIGHT FIT OF CABLE LOOP OVER MILFORD PIN
COULD RESULT IN COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE COMING OFF THE PIN,
ALLOWING THE DOOR TO FALL, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SEVERE OR
FATAL INJURY.
Starting on the left hand side, attach the left hand bottom corner bracket to the left corner of the bottom section, making sure it is seated to the edges of the end cap, using 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws, roller spacer (if applicable) washer (if applicable) and (1) 1/4” -
14 x 5/8” tamper resistant self drilling screw. Repeat for right hand bottom corner bracket.
NOTE: All doors are provided with the tamper resistant fastener for the bottom corner brackets. However, the professional installer is most likely to have the proper tool to install this fastener. If the homeowner does not have the proper tool to install the tamper resistant fastener, use a regular 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screw in its place.
NOTE: Check to ensure cable loop fits tightly over the milford pins.
Insert a short stem track roller with roller spacer into the bottom corner bracket. Repeat for other side.

NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this manual to determine what size sections you need to use as your lock (second) section, intermediate (third) section, intermediate (fourth) section and top section. Measure your sections to make sure they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE: The graduated end hinges can be identified by the number stamped on the lower hinge leaf. The #1 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the bottom section. The #1 graduated end hinges also serves as center hinges on all sections, except for the top section.
NOTE: The #2 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Lock section.
NOTE: The #3 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Intermediate I section.
NOTE: The #4 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Intermediate II section.
NOTE: Refer to the strutting schedules below to determine the placement of strut(s) on your door. Be sure to use the proper schedules for the type of door model and the size of your door.
IMPORTANT: WHEN REFERRING TO THE STRUTTING SCHEDULES, DETERMINE HOW
MANY STRUTS YOUR DOOR NEEDS AND ON WHAT SECTIONS THEY ARE NEEDED TO BE
INSTALLED. ALSO BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT STRUTTING SCHEDULE FOR ALUMINUM
DOORS OR STEEL DOORS DEPENDING ON THE MATERIAL YOUR DOOR IS MADE OF. ALSO
USE THE CORRECT STRUTTING SCHEDULE FOR THE PROPER COLOR OF YOUR DOOR.
NOTE: Sections not noted in the strutting schedule, do not require a strut. All strut(s) are placed at the top of the section(s).
Strutting Schedule Key:
TS = Top Section
IW = Intermediate Section With Windows
BS = Bottom Section
ES = Every Section gets a strut.

Using sawhorses, lay sections together on a flat smooth surface. Ensure the appropriate graduated end hinges, center hinge(s) and strut (if applicable) are on top of their corresponding sections.
INSTALLATION ON TOP SECTION: Place the strut on the top edge of the top section, as shown. Center the strut side to side on the section, as shown. Secure the graduated end and center hinges to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws at each graduated end / center hinge locations.
INSTALLATION ON ALL SECTIONS (EXCEPT TOP SECTION): Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section, align the lower leafs of the #1 graduated end hinge over the holes at the top of the end caps located at the top of bottom section. Next, align the lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges with the dimples at the center location(s) located at the top of the section. If applicable, place the strut on top of the graduated end and center hinges.
For Graduated End And Center Hinge Installation Only: Secure the graduated end and center hinges to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws at each graduated end
/ center hinge locations.
For Strut, Graduated End And Center Hinge Installation Only: Secure the strut to the graduated end and center hinges to the section using (2) strut clips (if applicable) and (2) 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each graduated end / center hinge locations.
NOTE: If your Intermediate Section has windows in it and a strut needs to be installed on that section, strut clips will need to be used to attach it to the section.
IMPORTANT: ONCE THE 1/4” - 20 X 7/8” / 1/4” - 20 X 11/16” SELF DRILLING SCREWS ARE
SNUG AGAINST THE LOWER HINGE LEAFS, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO

Cable Adjustments
Tools Required: Wrench: 3/8”, Tape measure, Step ladder, Safety glasses,
Leather gloves
Adjust counterbalance lift cables to create about 1” to 2” (25 mm to 50 mm) of initial extension spring stretch, with the door in the fully opened position.
Measure relaxed extension spring length for your door height and verify with chart. Spring length must be the same for both extension springs to allow even door balance.
Carefully remove the locking pliers from the horizontal track and lower the door into the closed position.
Once the door is closed, measure the extension spring length in tension for both sides. Using
the chart, verify the spring length in tension, is correct with your door height.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust spring length for proper door balance.

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:
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.
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.
Painting Your Garage Door
Refer to Instruction Insert “
Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass or Steel Door Sec-
tions”.
Maintaining The Finish
On Your Garage Door
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”.
