Supplemental Instructions
Torsion Spring Installation
This is a supplement to the Residential Garage Door
Instructions (referred to as the MANUAL). It covers
installation of torsion springs (STEP 14 of the MANUAL).
For all other information and safety warnings concerning your
garage door, see the MANUAL. Read the information in both
manuals before beginning installation.
Please read and understand these instructions completely
before proceeding with the installation of torsion springs.
Carefully follow these instructions to avoid personal injury or
property damage.
Use these instructions for torsion springs only. Your spring
hardware should match the list shown in Table TOR-1. If you
are missing any spring hardware, call the toll-free Consumer
Services number found on the front cover of the MANUAL.
Safety Information
Torsion springs can be very dangerous if they are
improperly installed or mishandled. Do not attempt to
install them yourself unless 1) you have the right tools
and reasonable mechanical aptitude or experience and
2) you follow these Instructions very carefully.
