Torsion Spring Installation
This is a supplement to the Residential Garage Door
Instructions (referred to as the MANUAL). It covers
installation of torsion springs (STEP 14 of the MANUAL).

your garage door, see the MANUAL. Read the information
in both manuals before beginning installation.
Please read and understand these instructions completely
before proceeding with the installation of torsion springs.
Carefully follow these instructions to avoid personal injury
or property damage.
Use these instructions for torsion springs only. Your spring
hardware should match the list shown in Table TOR-1. If you
are missing any spring hardware, call the toll-free Consumer
Services number found on the front cover of the MANUAL.
