Some springs will have the wire diameter, spring diameter, spring length, direction of wind, and a winding stripe stenciled on the coils. If the springs are stenciled, the number of spring turns can be counted using the winding stripe. If not, the number of spring turns can be counted by drawing a chalk line on the spring. * In low headroom applications subtract 1/2 spring turn from chart.

TORSION SPRING INSTALLATION
WARNING
ALWAYS USE GOOD QUALITY, SNUG FITTING, CONSTANT DIAMETER, SOLID STEEL WINDING BARS WHEN WINDING OR ADJUSTING SPRINGS. THE USE OF ANY OTHER OBJECT CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY. WHEN WINDING THE SPRINGS, THE WINDING BAR MUST BE INSERTED INTO THE FULL DEPTH OF THE HOLES IN THE WINDING CONE. KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON THE WINDING BARS AT ALL TIMES. USE A STURDY LADDER AND STAND TO THE SIDE OF THE WINDING BARS. IF YOUR DOOR HAS A TORSION SPRING ASSEMBLY, YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE WOOD ANCHOR PAD (SEE DRAWING) IS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE GARAGE WALL AS DESCRIBED IN THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NEXT PAGE. FAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACH THE ANCHOR PAD COULD ALLOW THE SPRINGS TO VIOLENTLY PULL AWAY FROM THE GARAGE WALL, AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. IN NO CASE SHOULD NAILS BE USED.
