To Protect Yourself From Injury

Carefully Read The Following Safety

Information And Warnings Before You Install

Or Attempt To Repair Your New Garage Door

•Track installations must use sway braces on the rear track hangers to prevent sideways movement. If the

tracks are not firmly stabilized they might spread, allowing the door to fall and cause severe injury and

damage.

•The center torsion spring assembly uses a wooden pad (2" x 6" x 12" minimum) or steel plates (

⁄4" thick

x 10" x 12" minimum) that must be of good quality and firmly attached to the wall. Four

⁄8" x 3" lag

screws should be used to attach wood structure. The wood needs to be made of a Grade 2 or better

Southern Yellow Pine (also known as Southern Pine or Yellow Pine.) DO NOT use wood labeled as

Spruce-Pine-Fir (or SPF). Four

⁄8" masonry anchors can be used on concrete or block walls. If the wood

splits once the torsion spring is in place, it should be replaced by a professional installer. Do not try to

remove or repair a torsion spring assembly or any red-colored fasteners once it is wound.

• Springs, cables, and bottom fixtures are under strong spring tension. Do not attempt to loosen any

fasteners on these components. You could suddenly release spring forces and risk severe injury.

• If the garage door and/or any of the supporting track are damaged, operating the door could be hazard-

ous. Call an authorized representative of the manufacturer or professional door repair service promptly.

• Do not permit children to play beneath or with any garage door or electric operating controls.

• If repairs are ever required to your door, safety and trouble-free operation can be best assured by using

original replacement parts.

• Once you have completed the installation of your new garage door, please be sure that your garage

complies with all applicable ventilation requirements before you enclose any vehicles in the garage.

Good ventilation avoids fire and health hazards caused by fumes accumulating within a well-sealed

garage.

•Clopay Building Products Company disclaims all liability for any installation which is not in compliance

with applicable state, county, or local building codes.

• Doors equipped with automatic door operators can cause serious injury or death if not properly adjusted

and operated. To insure safe operation of these doors:

a) test the sensitivity of the operator’s safety reverse mechanism monthly;

b) remove the pull rope;

c) make sure the door remains unlocked;

d) do not allow children to play with the controls.
