Door Section Identification
Graduated end and center hinges are always pre-attached at the top of each section (except top section) and the graduated end hinges are stamped for identification, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 and #6. The stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section. The sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #5 or #6 being the highest intermediate section. If the stamp on the graduated end hinge is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration. The section side view illustration shows the graduated end hinge profile of all sections, and can also be used to identify each section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory attached bottom astragal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets and by the bottom corner bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The
LOCK SECTION can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges.

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 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.
*NOTE: For door heights from 10’1” to 14’0”, refer to your operator manufacture installation instructions for appropriate depth into room.

NOTE: Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine which Center Bracket(s) came with your door.
NOTE: Prior to fastening center bracket(s) into the door jamb, pilot drill using a 3/16” drill bit.
NOTE: Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine if your door came with a coupler assembly. If your door came with a coupler assembly, the mounting surface needs to be a minimum of 17” wide. The two center bearing brackets will need to be spaced 12” to
14” apart at the center of the door, as shown.
NOTE: If your door came with (4) springs, each of the outer springs mounting surface will need to be a minimum of 3” wide.
NOTE: If needed, measure the diameter of your springs. If you have a one piece shaft with
3-3/4” diameter springs, they do not share center brackets and do not have a coupler assembly.
First, 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.

Equal distance (top of door section to horizontal line)
IF YOUR DOOR DID NOT COME WITH A CENTER COUPLER ASSEMBLY OR TORSION
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.

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,

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
