SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS Extension Spring Installation This is a supplement to the Residential Garage Table EXT-1 Door Instructions (referred to as the MANUAL). Description It covers installation of extension springs (STEP 14 of the MANUAL). For all other information and Extension Spring safety warnings concerning your garage door, see the MANUAL.

PAGE 2
Assembling and Installing Extension Springs Step 1: Some doors will be supplied with two springs and some will have four. Assemble springs with sheaves on the floor. A 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolt and nut are used to attach the sheave. (Fig. EXT-1) NOTE: If your door was supplied with four large extension springs, take notice of the color coding on the ends of the springs. If there are two color codes, be sure to use one of each on either side so that the spring tension is equal on both sides.
PAGE 3
Step 5: Carefully raise the door to fully open position. Place C-clamps on both sides of the track below the bottom rollers to keep the door from falling closed. (Fig. EXT-5) Check again to be sure the horizontal tracks are parallel with the edges of the door. The rollers must not come out of the hinges or brackets. Step 6: Hook the ends of the springs over the eyebolts at the rear track hangers. Attach the loop of a cable over the button on the bottom bracket, if not done so already.
