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, and #4
(#4 only on five section doors). The stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section. The
sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 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.
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.,
Preparing the Opening
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.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU JUST REMOVED YOUR ExISTING DOOR OR YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW
DOOR, COMPLETE ALL STEPS IN PREPARING THE OPENING.
The LOCk SECTION can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges on a 4 section high door and
by #3 graduated end hinges on a 3 section high door. Also, on a 3 section door, the lock section
will come with a warning label attached to the right or left endstile.
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
The INTERMEDIATE SECTION can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges (Only on a 4
section high door). The section will have a warning label attached to either the right or left hand
end stile.
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 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).
NOTE: #4 graduated end hinges are used on the fourth section of five section doors.
The TOP SECTION can be identified with no pre-installed graduated end or center hinges.
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD
FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.
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.

Maintenance
Manual door operation:
reference TDS 165.
Cleaning Your Garage Door
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.
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.
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.
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:
using an electric operator:
A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dis-
solved into five gallons of warm water will aid in the removal of most dirt.
IMPORTANT: PULL DOWN ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR
MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.
NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for
use in general cleaning of garage doors.
When connecting a drawbar (trolley type) garage door operator to this door, an drawbar opera-
tor 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
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.
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
MAINTAININg yOuR gARAgE DOOR…
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.
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
and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.
NOTE: Do not use any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-
based cleaners of any kind.
Painting Your Garage Door
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.
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.

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.
TorqueMaster® Plus Springs: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster® end brackets above
the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of spring
failure or forceful manual operation.
NOTES:
1. Re-painting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally
beyond the door manufacturer’s control.
Torsion Springs: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a
trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
2. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
Extension Springs: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension spring
(located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
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 condi-
tions in which to paint.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door drawbar
operator, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this

Lifetime Limited Warranty
Models 9100, 9400, 9600
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lifetime Limited Warranty, Wayne-Dalton, A Division Of Overhead Door Corporation (“Manufacturer”) war-
rants the sections of the door, which is described at the top of this page, for as long as you own the door against:
i) The door becoming inoperable due to rust-through of the steel skin from the core of the door section, due to cracking, splitting, or other deterioration of the steel
skin, or due to structural failure caused by separation or degradation of the foam insulation.
ii)Peeling of the original paint on the door as a result of a defect in the original paint or in the application of the original paint coating, in cases where the door
sections and the original paint: (a) have not been subjected to adverse atmospheric conditions or contaminates (such as salt water or other marine environment,
or to toxic or abrasive substances, including those in the air); (b) have been maintained in compliance with Manufacturer’s recommendations; and (c) have
not been subject to physical abrasion, impacted by a hard object, or punctured (including without limitation “paint rub” occurring in metal to metal contact and
movement).
The Manufacturer warrants the garage door hardware (except springs) and the tracks of the above-described door, for as long as you own the door, against
defects in material and workmanship, subject to all the terms and conditions below.
The Manufacturer warrants those component parts of the door not covered by the preceding provisions of this Lifetime Limited Warranty against defects in
material and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) yEAR from the date of installation.
The Manufacturer warrants the factory-applied finish and the factory attached stiles against fading and cosmetic changes from the time of installation for TWO
(2) yEARS. If the door is re-stained or re-painted, the TWO (2) yEARS warranty for the factory-applied finish is void. The Model 9400 factory attached stiles are war-
ranted against peeling, cracking, chalking, or delamination from the time of installation for TWO (2) yEARS.
After a period of TWENTy (20) yEARS, from time of installation, replacement of Lifetime Limited Warranty materials will be pro-rated at 50 per cent of Manufac-

rental property (even when used by a tenant as a residence). This Limited Warranty is not transferable to any other person (even when the premises is sold), nor does
it extend benefits to any other person. As a result this warranty does NOT apply to any person who purchases this product from someone other than an authorized

components or related products for other than its intended purpose and its customary usage. This Limited Warranty does not cover ordinary wear. This Limited Warranty
will be voided if the original finish is painted over, unless Manufacturer’s preparation and painting instructions are followed explicitly. This Limited Warranty will be
voided if any holes are drilled into the door, other than those specified by the Manufacturer.
