Preparing the Opening
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.
PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SPRINGS, EN-
SURE YOU’RE WINDING IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AS STATED IN THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OTHERWISE, THE SPRING FITTINGS MAY
RELEASE FROM SPRING IF NOT WOUND IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AND
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

Alternately inserting the winding rods into the holes of the spring winding cone, rotate the winding cone upward toward the ceiling, 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.
Torsion spring(s) should be wound in the direction the end coil points.

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.
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). Horizontal tracks must be level and parallel with door within 3/4” to
7/8” maximum of door edge.
PRIOR TO WINDING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SPRINGS, EN-
SURE YOU’RE WINDING IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AS STATED IN THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OTHERWISE THE SPRING FITTINGS MAY
RELEASE FROM SPRING IF NOT WOUND IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AND
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Now, lift door and check its balance. Adjustments to the required number of spring 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. A poorly balanced door can cause garage door operator operation problems.
To adjust spring tension, fully close door. Apply vice grips to track above third track roller.
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.

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.

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

SURFACE PREPARATION FOR PAINTING
Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/ flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a fine steel wool pad saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only to remove any loose particles and any soapy film residue.
Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or no. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased.
If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer specifically intended for galvanized surfaces to protect the area from corrosion. Allow for drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.
The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the factory-applied finish must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint.
IMPORTANT: IF A FACTORY SEAL IS COMPROMISED OR DAMAGED, REPAIR THE FACTORY
SEAL WITH FIELD CAULK.
PAINTING:
NOTE: When painting the section, the paint must not seal the bottom edge of any stiles to the section surface.
After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then coated immediately with premium quality latex house paint. Follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the exposed area.
NOTES:
1. Re-painting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally beyond the door manufacturer’s control.
2. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
3. Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to acceptable weather and temperature conditions in which to paint.
Wood (Preparation and Painting)
These instructions apply to all Wood Doors produced and sold by Wayne Dalton. The exterior surfaces, as well as all edges must be properly painted and maintained if satisfactory performance is to be achieved. The purpose for painting is to both protect and beautify the substrates. These requirements for finishing are intended to achieve both functions for reasonable service life of wood doors. Wood doors must be completely finished 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 not be transported or stored where the wood surfaces can be exposed to moisture or other contaminants.
Wood (Surface Preparation)
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust and dirt and any other contamination.
Wood (Painting)
Using painter’s tape, tape off all metal surfaces. A premium quality latex house based finish paint is recommended for use over the factory latex based primer
Painting the wood surfaces with at least 2 coats of finish paint over the primer. Follow paint manufacture’s label directions completely for all coatings. Once finished, remove painter’s tape and touch up where necessary.
Wood (Maintenance and Refinishing)
Yearly inspection of all the wood surfaces of the garage door(s) will reveal the extent of weathering and the need for refinishing. When the finish becomes eroded or thin, clean and prime the areas of deterioration. Follow up with a complete refinishing of the door(s), according to the above directions, as well as the manufacturer’s label directions. Protecting the door(s) from prolonged exposure to moisture and sunlight is vital in extending the service life of your garage door(s).
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 opener 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 u-bar (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 instruc-

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.
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
