Installation Guide

NOTE: If your torsion tube is one full-length
piece, skip to Step 3.
Step 2
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.
Push the two torsion tube sections rmly into
the coupler.
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.
After the tubes are inserted completely into the
coupler, drill one 3/16" pilot hole in each torsion
tube using the coupler holes as a guide. Fasten
the coupler to the tube with (2) #14 x 5/8" sheet
metal screws (Fig. 3). Make sure the screws are
secure. Be careful not to overtighten screws, as
this could cause the hole to be stripped out.
IMPORTANT!
Step 3
Lay the spring(s) at on the oor. Measure
the length of each spring as shown in Fig. 4 and
record each length in space provided. You will
need to refer to this length in Step 7. The spring
will be stenciled “LEFT” and “Right”.
NOTE: The spot of paint refers to spring
strength. Please refer to the wording on the
spring for proper mounting.
