Door Section Identification

When installing your door, you must use sections of the appropriate height in the right stacking location. Determine, what sections you need to use in what order depends on the design of your door.

Sections are stamped for identification, #1, #2, #3, and #4 (#4 only on four section high doors). The stamp, located on each side of the sections identifies the stacking sequence. The sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #4 or #5 being the highest top section. If the stamp on the section is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration.

The section side view illustration shows the section profile of all sections, and can also be used to identify each section.

The

BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1.

The INTERMEDIATE I SECTION can be identified by #2.

3

The INTERMEDIATE II SECTION can be identified by #3, for a 4 section high door only.

The INTERMEDIATE III SECTION can be identified by #4, for a 5 section high door only.

The

TOP SECTION can be identified either by a #3, for a 3 section high door, by a #4, for a 4 section high door or by a #5, for a 5 section high door.

NOTE: Center hinge(s) use #1 graduated end hinges at each pre-drilled or vertical stile location. The pre-drilled locations are located at the top and or bottom rails on the inside of the section surface.

NOTE: Some doors will receive half center hinge(s). These will be installed in between the center hinge(s) and graduated end hinge(s).

STRUT IDENTIFICATION: Identify your struts to determine which ones are long strut(s) or short strut(s).

Short Strut(s) are typically installed along the top rail of the top section and or along the bottom rail of the bottom section.

Long Strut(s) are typically installed along the top and or bottom rails of sections. Measure the height of the long strut(s) to determine if you have 2” or 3”.

NOTE: Some struts also may or may not have holes in them. If they don’t, then prior to installing the strut and hinge to the section surface, you may have to drill a 3/16” hole for the appropriate fastener on one or both sides of the strut legs.

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 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.

INSTALLATION

Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instructions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an improperly installed door.

NOTE: Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at www.dasma.com.

IMPORTANT: WOOD DOORS MUST BE COMPLETELY FINISHED (3 TOTAL COATS, INCLUDING

PRIMER COAT) PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, TO ENSURE THAT THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR

SURFACES, AS WELL AS ALL EDGES OF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED AGAINST

MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. WOOD DOORS, IN A NON-FINISHED CONDITION,

MUST BE TRANSPORTED AND STORED SO THE WOOD SURFACES ARE NOT EXPOSED

TO MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. IMPROPER TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE OR

DELAYS IN FINISHING, THAT ALLOWS EXPOSURE OF THE WOOD DOOR SURFACES TO MOIS-

TURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS WILL RESULT IN THE WARRANTY BEING VOIDED.

Fully Adjustable Flag Angles

Tools Required: Safety glasses, Leather gloves

IF YOUR DOOR DID NOT COME WITH A CENTER COUPLER ASSEMBLY OR USES TOR-

SION SPRINGS LESS THAN 3-3/4” ID: Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the center. 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.

NOTE: On some single spring doors, the single spring can be longer than half the opening width. If your spring is longer, then the center bracket must be mounted off center for the spring to fit properly. Measure spring length to determine appropriate center bracket location.

Alternately inserting the winding rods into the holes of the spring winding cone, rotate the winding cone downward toward the floor, 1/4 turn at a time, until the required number of complete turns for your door height is achieved. As the last 1/8 to 1/4 turn is achieved, securely hold the winding rod and carefully stretch the torsion spring 1/8” - 1/4”. Next while still securely holding the winding rod, tighten both set screws in the winding cone to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque (once set screws contact the torsion shaft, tighten screws one full turn).

Carefully remove winding rod from winding cone. Repeat for the opposite spring. While holding the door down to prevent it from raising unexpectedly in the event the spring(s) were over-wound, carefully remove the locking pliers from the torsion shaft and vertical tracks.

Adjustments to the number of turns stated may be necessary. If door rises off floor under spring tension alone, reduce spring tension until door rests on the floor. If the door is hard to rise or drifts down on its own, add spring tension.

Raise the door until the top section and half of the next section are in the horizontal track radius. Do not raise door any further since rear of horizontal tracks are not yet supported.

WARNING

RAISING DOOR FURTHER CAN RESULT IN DOOR FALLING AND CAUSE

SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

Clamp a pair of vice clamps onto the vertical tracks just above the second track roller on one side, and just below the second track roller on the other side. This will prevent the door from raising or lowering while installing the rear back hangs.

Using the chart (Perforated Angle Gauge Weight Limitations) below, use the appropriate perforated angle (may not be supplied), (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” hex head lag screws and (3) 5/16” bolts with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear back hangs for the horizontal tracks.

Attach the horizontal tracks to the rear back hangs with 5/16” - 18 x 1” hex bolts and nuts

(may not be supplied).

NOTE: Doors heights over 8’0” or door widths over 11’0”, require an additional set of rear center back hangs to be installed and located at the middle of the horizontal tracks, see parts breakdown.

Using the chart (Perforated Angle Gauge Weight Limitations) below, use the appropriate perforated angle (may not be supplied), (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” hex head lag screws and (3) 5/16” bolts with nuts (may not be supplied), fabricate rear center back hangs for the middle of the horizontal tracks. Attach the rear center back hangs to the horizontal tracks with (1) 3/8” truss head bolt and (1) 3/8” nut (may not be supplied).

Horizontal tracks must be level and parallel with door within 3/4” to 7/8” maximum of door edge.

Insert a winding rod into the winding cone. On single spring doors, counterbalance lift cable tension must be maintained by placing vice grips on torsion shaft before loosening set screws in the winding cone. Push upward on the winding rod while carefully loosening the set screws in the winding cone. BE PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE FULL FORCE OF THE

TORSION SPRING ONCE THE SET SCREWS ARE LOOSE. Carefully adjust spring tension 1/4 turn. Retighten both set screws in the winding cone and repeat for the other side. Recheck door balance. DO NOT ADJUST MORE THAN 1/2 TURN FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER

OF TURNS.

If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position, UNWIND THE

SPRING(S) FULLY (Reference the insert “Removing The Old Door / Preparing The Opening” section on torsion spring removal) and recheck the following the items:

1.) Check the door for level.

2.) Check the torsion shaft for level.

3.) Check the track spacing.

4.) Check the counterbalance cables for equal tension and proper wrap onto the cable drums.

5.) Check the track for potential obstruction of the track rollers.

6.) Clamp locking pliers onto track and rewind springs.

NOTE: Lift handles must be lined up vertically.

BOTTOM SECTION: Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the bottom section.

NOTE: For flush doors, find the center most stile by locating the center most hinge.

Using the bottom hole of the lift handle, measure up 3” from the bottom of bottom section.

Mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the bottom section. On the outside of the door, insert (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2 1/2” carriage bolts (black head) into the outside lift handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes in the bottom section. From the inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of the carriage bolts. Secure the outside and inside lift handle to the bottom section with (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.

INTERMEDIATE I SECTION: Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the

Intermediate I section. Mark a vertical line on the section at that point.

NOTE: Some Garage Doors may require both lift handles to be installed on bottom section.

If your bottom section height is 28” or 29”, install both lift handles onto the bottom section.

Install bottom lift handle per above instructions, then install the second lift handle a Minimum of 20” and a Maximum of 30” above the bottom lift handle.

Measure up 4” from the bottom of the Intermediate I section. Using this measurement as a guide, position the bottom hole of the lift handle bottom at the mark. Make a mark at the top hole of the lift handle. This should give you a Minimum of 20” and a Maximum of 30” between the lower lift handle and the middle of the top lift handle. If needed, reposition the lift handle to stay within the Minimum and Maximum dimensions, as stated above.

Using the lift handle as a template, mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the section. On the outside of the door, insert (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” carriage bolts

(black head) into the outside lift handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes in the section. From the inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of the carriage bolts. Secure the outside and inside lift handle to the section with (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Garage Door

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!

An annual inspection of all the surfaces of your garage door(s) will reveal the extent of weathering and the possible need for refinishing. When the finish becomes eroded or thin, clean and prime any areas showing deterioration. Then completely refinish the door, according to the directions, listed below, or the manufacturer’s label directions. Proper finishing of the wood substrates to protect your door(s) from the effects of moisture and sunlight is vital in extending the service life and beautifying your garage door(s).

The interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges must be properly primed, painted and maintained, to protect and beautify your door. These finishing instructions are intended to achieve both objectives for your wood doors(s).

NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weatherstrips on both sides and top of door.

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.

Preparations

Clean all surfaces of dust, dirt and any other contaminants. Any scarring or stains that occur during transportation, handling or storage must be re-sanded to the original condition.

Painting Your Garage Door

A high quality exterior 100% Acrylic Latex based finish paint is recommended for painting your wood door. FOR BEST RESULTS DO NOT USE A DARK COLOR PAINT. HIGH HEAT

ABSORPTION CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE BOWING AND CRACKING OF THE WOOD. If priming is necessary, prime the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges, using a primer compatible with the selected finish paint and for the specific species of wood substrate being finished.

NOTE: Some species of wood, such as cedar, require special primers and finishes to prevent tannin stains from appearing. Consult with your paint supplier.

If the door is factory primed by Wayne Dalton, the priming step is not required, except if touch-up is needed due to surface preparation and re-sanding.

NOTE: Wayne-Dalton uses a latex primer.

Finish paint the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges with at least 2 coats of a high quality exterior 100% Acrylic Latex finish paint over the primer. Follow paint manufacture’s label directions explicitly for all coatings.

IMPORTANT: THE FOLLOWING TOP COATS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED. SHAKE AND SHINGLE

PAINTS, CLEAR COATINGS, OIL OR ALKYD PAINTS, VINYL ACETATE (PVA), VINYL ACRYLIC OR

VINYL ACETATE ACRYLIC CO-POLYMER PAINTS.

Clear Or Stained Finishes

If staining, select an exterior grade stain, approved for use on the species of wood substrates being finished and compatible with Alkyd varnishes. FOR BEST RESULTS DO NOT USE A

DARK STAIN. HIGH HEAT ABSORPTION CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE BOWING AND CRACKING OF

THE WOOD. Apply the stain to the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges, following stain manufacturer’s label directions. After proper drying time for the stain, or if wood is being left natural, apply 1 coat of waterproof exterior Alkyd varnish (marine type varnish) to the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges. After recommended drying time of

1st coat, sand all surfaces with fine grit (320) sandpaper. Clean all surfaces of sanding dust and apply a 2nd coat of the Alkyd varnish to the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges. After 2nd coat is dry, sand all surfaces again with fine grit (320) sandpaper. Clean all surfaces of sanding dust and apply a final 3rd coat of the Alkyd varnish to all surfaces.

Three finish coats of waterproof exterior Alkyd varnish are required to properly finish a stained or natural wood door. Follow the finish manufacturer’s label directions explicitly for each coat applied.

NOTE: Do not stain MDO plywood, apply paint only.

Only a waterproof exterior Alkyd varnish top coat finish is approved for stained or natural wood doors. Other types of top coat finishes, including deck sealers, are not acceptable and if used, will void the warranty.

Operation And Maintenance

OPERATING YOUR GARAGE DOOR:

Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. When correctly installed, your Wayne Dalton door will operate smoothly.

Always operate your door with controlled movements. Do not slam your door or throw your door into the open position, this may cause damage to the door or its components. If your door has an electric opener, refer to the owner’s manual to disconnect the opener before performing manual door operation below.

Manual door operation:

For additional information on manual garage door operations go to

www.dasma.com and reference TDS 165.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HANDS INTO SECTION JOINTS WHEN OPENING

AND/OR CLOSING A DOOR. ALWAYS USE LIFT HANDLES / SUITABLE GRIPPING POINTS

WHEN OPERATING THE DOOR MANUALLY.

Opening a Door: Make sure the lock(s) are in the unlocked position. Lift the door by using the lift handles / suitable gripping points only. Door should open with little resistance.

Closing a Door: From inside the garage, pull door downward using lift handles / gripping point only or a high friction area only. If you are unable to reach the lift handles/ suitable gripping points only, use pull down rope affixed to the side of door. Door should close completely with little resistance.

Using an electric operator:

IMPORTANT: PULL DOWN ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR

MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.

When connecting a drawbar (trolley type) garage door operator to this door, an drawbar operator and or drawbar operator bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any struts provided with the door. Always use the drawbar operator and 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.

GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS, COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, BRACK-

ETS, 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 MANUFAC-

TURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

19

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, center hinge(s), steel track rollers, bearings and torsion spring(s) (torsion spring coil surfaces). 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.
