Tools Needed:
INSTALLATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LEATHER
GLOVES BE WORN WHILE WINDING
THE TORQUEMASTER
®
PLUS SPRINGS.
FAILURE TO WEAR GLOVES MAY CAUSE
INJURY TO HANDS.
Double check to ensure the counterbalance
cable is aligned in the first groove of the cable
drum as shown in Step 21.
Staring with the right hand side, place a mark
on winding shaft (or socket) and end bracket.
Turn the pawl knob on the end bracket to the
upper position.
IMPORTANT: USING A RATCHET WITH A 16 MM
(5/8”) SOCKET (NOTE: A 76 MM (3”) EXTENSION
IS ALSO RECOMMENDED FOR ADDED
CLEARANCE FROM THE HORIZONTAL ANGLE.),
WIND THE SPRING BY ROTATING THE WINDING
SHAFT COUNTER CLOCKWISE, WHILE WATCHING
THE MARK ON THE WINDING SHAFT. DO NOT
USE IMPACT GUN TO WIND SPRING(S).
IMPORTANT: PAWL KNOB MUST BE IN UPPER
POSITION TO ADD/ REMOVE REQUIRED NUMBER
OF SPRING TURNS.
After 2-3 turns, remove the ratchet and
adjust the cable on the left side. Ensure the
cables are in the first groove and the cable
drums, as shown in Step 21.
NOTE: Single spring applications require
no spring winding of the left hand side but
need cable tension adjustments.
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE CABLE
TENSION MUST BE EQUAL ON BOTH SIDES
PRIOR TO FULLY WINDING SPRINGS.
SEE THE SPRING TURN CHART FOR THE
REQUIRED NUMBER OF TURNS:
For single spring applications:
Return to the right hand and continue
winding the spring to the required number
of turns for your door. Place pawl knob in
lower position.
For double spring applications:
Place a mark on the winding shaft and end
bracket. Place the ratchet with 5/8” socket
onto the left hand winding shaft end. To
wind the spring, rotate the winding shaft
clockwise, while watching the mark on the
winding shaft.
Rotate the winding shaft to the required
number of turns for your door. Then return
to the right hand side and wind the right
hand spring to the required number of
turns. Place pawl knob in lower position on
both sides.
