5/16” x 1 5/8” Hex head lag screws
(as required)
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 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).
5/16” x 2” Tamper-resistant hex head
lag screw (as required)
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD
5/16” x 1-5/8” Tamper-resistant
hex head lag screws (as required)
FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.
For Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly at-
tached 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.
1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” Carriage bolts (as required)
1/4” - 20 x 2-3/4” Carriage bolts (as required)
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.
Door Section Identification
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.

Alternately inserting the winding rods into the holes of the springs 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 while tightening 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).
With the door in the fully closed position, place vice clamps onto both vertical tracks just
above the third track roller. This is to prevent the garage door from rising while winding
springs.

THE MANuFACTuRER’S INSTRuCTIONS.
Like any other exterior surface, Wayne-Dalton garage doors will have dirt exposure from atmo-
spheric conditions. Ordinarily, the cleaning action of rainfall will be adequate to wash the door, or
the door can be washed periodically by hosing with a garden hose and clear water (in particular)
for the areas not accessible to rain. If you desire to do a more thorough cleaning, or where soil
collection conditions occur, follow these simple instructions.
1. Use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush. It attaches to your garden hose and makes
washing your garage door easier. Do not rub vigorously which may create glossy areas over the
vinyl finish.

INSTRuCTIONS.
2. For hard-to-remove dirt, such as soot and grime found in industrial areas, wash the garage
door down with a mild solution consisting of the following ingredients:
One cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm
water.
NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for
use in general cleaning of garage doors.
Torsion Springs: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a
trained door systems technician.
NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weather stripping on both sides and top of door.
3. Start at the bottom and work up to the top, as less streaking will result. Immediately following
all washing operations, thoroughly rinse the surface area with fresh water from a garden hose.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door opener,
use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with
the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance. Torsion spring(s) need
adjustment if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down).
DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust
Torsion Springs yourself. Contact a trained door system technician to adjust springs using proper
tools and instructions.
This cleaning and maintenance information is suggested in an effort to be of assistance; how-
ever, manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for results obtained which are dependent on
the cleaning solution and method of application.
CAuTION: DO NOT PAINT DOOR. PAINTING DOOR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
3. Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door rollers are rotating
freely when opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, re-
moving dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant)
hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon rollers, door
track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.
