Levorotary/Dextrorotary Distinction

HELPFUL TRICK: Make an”O” with your index finger and thumb. Using the tip of your finger as the end of the wire, follow the direction down your finger, which will give you the direction in which the spring is coiled.

Adjust the Spring Tension: It is dangerous to adjust the torsion spring; please call a professional to adjust.

REMOVING THE OLD SPRINGS

Warning: It is dangerous to remove the torsion spring. Please call a professional to operate.

• Unplug the garage door opener and clamp the door to the track. Disconnect the garage door opener so the door remains closed. Use locking pliers or a C-clamp to secure the door to the track and keep it from opening when you release the tension on the springs.

• Loosen the set screws while holding each spring with a winding bar. Position a sturdy ladder to the side of the springs, rather than working directly in front of them, for safety reasons. Put on eye protection and leather gloves. Push a winding bar into the bottom hole of the winding cone on the outside of 1 spring. Use a wrench to loosen the e2 set screws.

Keep a firm grip on the bar, as the spring will expand powerfully as the screws are released. Repeat on the other side. File down the ends to ensure the bars fit securely into the winding cone holes.

Note:

A: Using a screwdriver, pin punch, or plier handle to unwind the bars could result in serious injury, as these tools aren’t designed to hold the spring in place.

B: To reach the springs, avoid standing on a bucket or chair. Use a sturdy ladder to minimize the risk of injury.

• Unwind each spring with the help of 2 winding bars. Position the second winding bar into a hole on the winding cone at a perpendicular angle to the first. Unwind the spring turn at a time, moving the winding bar to the next open perpendicular position after each turn. Repeat on the other spring.

• Remove the nuts and bolts, then slide the springs to the end bracket. Remove the two nuts and bolts that secure each spring to the center bracket using a wrench. Then slide each spring toward the end bracket.

Secure the tube and remove the springs, cables, and cabledrums. Use locking pliers or a C-clamp to secure the torsion tube to the center bracket to keep it from moving. Then, use a wrench to loosenthesetscrews on both lift cable drums. Disconnect the lift cables, thenslidethecable drums and springs off the torsion tube.

Note: Securing the tube is an essential step that will prevent the tube from moving around and potentially injuring you, so be sure to lock the tube in place fully.

Installing the Garage Door Torsion Springs

WARNING: It is dangerous to install the torsion spring. Please call a professional to operate.

• Slide the left spring onto the tube and add the cable drum.

When your new springs arrive, put the new left spring on the torsion tube, ensuring that the stationary cone on the end of the spring faces the center bracket. After sliding the new spring into place, replace the cable drum and insert the torsion bar into the left bearing bracket.

• Install the center bearing and the right spring, then secure the cones.

Slide the torsion bar to the left, then add the center bearing. Slide the right spring onto the bar and press the bearing into the stationary cone. Connect both of the stationary cones to the center bracket with the nuts and bolts you removed previously. Remove the locking pliers or clamp from the center bracket.

• Thread the cables and tighten the drums.

Run the lift cable between the roller and the doorjamb. Slip the lift cable through the cable slot on the drum. Then, attach locking pliers to the torsion tube to secure it. Spin the drum to wind the cable into the grooves, then tighten the set screws. Repeat on the other side, leaving the locking pliers in place.

Note: For the door to operate properly, you need the same amount of tension on both sides, so take care to tighten each side evenly.

• Wind the springs.

Insert two winding bars into the winding cone so they are perpendicular. Use the bars to turn the spring %turn at a time, moving the bars to new holes in the cone as necessary. Follow the supplier’s recommendation for the number of turns to complete. Repeat on the otherspring.

Note:

a. Generally, you’ll need 30 quarter-turns for a 7 ft (2.1 m) tall door and 36 quarter-turns for an 8 ft (2.4 m) tall door.

b. Winding the spring too tightly could cause it to break and injure you, so be sure to follow the supplier’s recommendation and don’t overwind the spring.

• Stretch the springs out 1/4 inch (6.4mm).

When the spring is fully wound, leave one winding bar in a slot perpendicular to the floor. Tap the winding bar with a hammer to stretch the spring 1/4 inch (6.4mm) out from the center. Repeat on the other side.

• Tighten the set screws.

Tighten each set screw until it contacts the torsion tube. Tightening the screws more than this could distort or puncture the torsion tube, so be sure to make less than 1 full rotation once the screws touch the torsion tube.

• Remove the clamps or pliers.

It is now safe to remove the clamps or pliers you used to hold both the tension bar and the garage door in place.

Note: When adding or unwinding 1 or 2 quarter turns, you must hold on to the clamps or pliers again.

• Check the balance after installation. Leave the door at the halfway position:

If the door moves up on itself, it means the torsion springs are wound too much, in this case, to unwind both of the torsion springs 1 or 2 quarter turns until the door balances itself.

Garage Door Torsion Springs Maintenance

1. Use a neutral cleaner and a soft brush to clean the garage door several times a year.
2. Use a lightweight oil spray on all springs, hinges, rollers, and pivot points at least once a year to allow your garage door to slide smoothly up and down.
3. Once a year, thoroughly inspect the electric garage door and tighten any loose screws, nuts, or bolts.
4. Using a cloth and a concentrated but non-corrosive cleaner, wipe down the garage door track and carefully clean all exposed parts of the roller to remove all excess moisture.
