Door Section Identification
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.,
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.
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 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).
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.
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.
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.

Cleaning Your Garage Door
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
It is recommended that the door be purchased pre-finished due to the size of the door, required
spray equipment and quality problems that could result. Wayne-Dalton assumes no liability for
non-factory finished doors. If finishing is performed, use exterior commercial grade finishing kits
approved for use on fiberglass or commercially available exterior grade water based or oil based
paint. The customer assumes all liability for the finishing.
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.
Operation and Maintenance
THE FOLLOWINg CLEANINg SOLuTION IS RECOMMENDED:
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.
OPERATINg yOuR gARAgE DOOR:
NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for
Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions and
owner’s manual. When correctly installed, your Wayne-Dalton door will operate smoothly. Always
operate your door with controlled movements. Do not slam your door or throw your door into the
open position, this may cause damage to the door or its components. If your door has an electric
opener, refer to the owner’s manual to disconnect the opener before performing manual door
operation below.

reference TDS 165.
ACRyLIC CLEANINg INSTRuCTIONS
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.
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.
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.
NOTE: Do not use any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-
based cleaners of any kind.
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.
Painting Your Garage Door
using an electric operator:
SuRFACE PREPARATION FOR PAINTINg:
IMPORTANT: PULL DOWN ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR
MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.
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.
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.
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.
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
and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.
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.
PAINTINg:
Monthly Inspections:
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.
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.

(located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
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
test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance. Adjust
TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s), 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. To adjust
TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual.
If in question about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by
a trained door systems technician.
3. Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door track rollers are
rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If track rollers do not rotate freely, clean the
door tracks, removing dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon
based lubricant) graduated end hinges, steel track rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic
idler bearings, nylon track rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult

The Manufacturer warrants those component parts of the door not covered by the preceding provisions of this warranty against defects in material and work-
manship for a period of one (1) year from the date of installation.
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-
turer’s published list pricing at time of claim, and you must pay this amount.
This Limited Warranty is extended only to the person who purchased the product and continues to own the premises (where the door is installed) as his/her
primary residence (“Buyer”). This Limited Warranty does not apply to residences other than primary, or to commercial or industrial installations, or to installations on
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 Limited Warranty does NOT apply to any person who purchases the product from someone other than an authorized
Wayne-Dalton dealer or distributor.
The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage attributable to improper storage, improper installation, or any alteration of the door or its components,
abuse, damage from corrosive fumes or substances, salt spray or saltwater air, fire, Acts of God, failure to properly maintain the door, or attempt to use the door, its
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 any holes are drilled into the door, other than those specified by the Manufacturer.

ING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WILL EXTEND BEYOND THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN
uNDERSCORED BOLD FACE TyPE IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, ABOVE.
• Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
Any claim under this Limited Warranty must be made in writing, within the applicable warranty period, to the dealer from which the product was purchased. Un-
less the dealer is no longer in business, a written claim to the Manufacturer will be the same as if no claim had been made at all. At the Manufacturer’s option, pursuant
to the dealer having notified the Manufacturer of a warranty claim, a service representative may inspect the product on site, or Buyer may be required to return the
product to the Manufacturer at Buyer’s expense. Buyer agrees to cooperate with any representative of the Manufacturer and to give such representative full access to
the product with the claimed defect and full access to the location of its installation.
If the Manufacturer determines that the claim is valid under the terms of this Limited Warranty, the Manufacturer will cause the defective product to be repaired
or replaced. The decision about the manner in which the defect will be remedied will be at the discretion of the Manufacturer, subject to applicable law. THE REMEDY
WILL COVER ONLY MATERIAL. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OTHER CHARGES, SUCH AS FIELD SERVICE LABOR FOR REMOVAL, INSTALLATION, PAINTING,
SHIPPING, ETC.
Any repairs or replacements arranged by Manufacturer will be covered by (and subject to) the terms, conditions, limitations and exceptions of this Limited War-
ranty; provided that the installation date for the repaired or replaced product will be deemed to be the date the original product was installed, and this Limited Warranty
will expire at the same time as if there had been no defect. If a claim under this Limited Warranty is resolved in a manner other than described in the immediately
preceding paragraph, then neither this Limited Warranty nor any other warranty from the Manufacturer will cover the repaired or replaced portion of the product.
THE REMEDIES FOR THE BUYER DESCRIBED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE and take the place of any other remedy. The liability of the Manufac-
turer, whether in contract or tort, under warranty, product liability, or otherwise, will not go beyond the Manufacturer’s obligation to repair or replace, at its option, as
described above. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, including (but
not limited to) damage or loss of other property or equipment, personal injury, loss of profits or revenues, business or service interruptions, cost of capital , cost of
purchase or replacement of other goods, or claims of third parties for any of the foregoing.
• Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
No employee, distributor, dealer, representative, or other person has the authority to modify any term or condition contained in this Limited Warranty or to grant
any other warranty on behalf of or binding on the Manufacturer, and anyone’s attempt to do so will be null and void.
Buyer should be prepared to verify the date of installation to the satisfaction of the Manufacturer.
The rights and obligations of the Manufacturer and Buyer under this Limited Warranty will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, to the extent
permitted by law.
