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 six sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate III 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.
4
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: For door heights from 10’1” to 14’0”, refer to your operator manufacture installation instructions for appropriate depth into room.

Tools Required: Step ladder, Locking pliers, 3/8” Wrench, Tape measure, Safety glasses, Leather gloves
Starting on the left hand side, thread the counterbalance lift cable up and around the front side of the left hand cable drum.
IMPORTANT: VERIFY THAT THERE ARE NO COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE OBSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: Always assemble the left hand cable and cable drum first to help maintain equal cable tension on both sides of the door.
Hook the counterbalance lift cable into the left hand cable drum. Slide the left hand cable drum up against the left hand end bearing bracket. Counterbalance lift cable should terminate at the 3 o’clock position. Tighten the (2) set screws in the drum to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque (once set screws contact the shaft, tighten screws one full turn).
NOTE: If you have torsion keyed shaft(s), insert (1) key into the slot of both the cable drum and the slot in the torsion keyed shaft, as shown.
Rotate the left hand drum and torsion shaft until counterbalance lift cable is taut. Now attach locking pliers to the torsion shaft and brace locking pliers up against jamb to keep counterbalance lift cable taut. Repeat for right hand side.
IMPORTANT: INSPECT EACH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE MAKING SURE THEY ARE
SEATED PROPERLY ONTO THE CABLE DRUMS AND THAT BOTH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT
CABLES HAVE EQUAL TENSION.
Once the counterbalance cables are set and if applicable tighten the coupler assembly together by tightening the (3) 3/8” - 16 nylon hex lock nuts to secure the coupler halves together.

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). 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.
Position a ladder slightly to the side of the spring so that the winding cone is easily accessible, and so your body is not directly in line with the winding bars.
Check the label attached to the spring warning tag for the required number of complete turns to balance your door.

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.

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.

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
