NOTE: If your torsion tube is one full-length piece, skip to Step 3. Step 2 Tube Coupler Tube Coupler NOTE: Torsion may be different lengths and considerably longer than the door width. If so, tubes should be cut 9" longer than the door's width. NOTE: There are sets of two opposing holes in each end of the coupler. When attaching the coupler to each tube, be sure to use the two holes that are on the same side of the coupler, as shown in Fig. 3. Torsion Tubes Torsion Tubes Fig.

Slide the spring(s), drums, winding unit(s) and end bearing support (if supplied) onto the torsion tube as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. Alignment may be required before the tube will pass through spring spacer inside the spring. If you have one spring, see Fig. 5 for the configuration of the components on the torsion tube. The spring with “LEFT” stenciled on it and green components MUST be put on the left side of the tube.
PAGE 6
After all the components are on the tube, the spring plug should be inserted into the winding unit. Ensure that the spring plug and the winding unit have the same color code before snapping them together. Line up both ears on the spring plug with the two slots in the winding unit and push them together (Fig. 8, views B, C and D). Slide the components toward the center of the tube to expose 12" of each end of the tube.

Step 4 Winding Unit Carefully lift up the torsion tube and components and place the ends of the tube in the cradle of each bracket. Pull the tube away from the bracket to slide the drum in between the bracket legs and engage the winding unit rails in the bracket slot (Fig. 9, view A). Push the winding unit rails into the bracket until the unit bottoms out.
