DS-50/DS-75/DS-100 MINI ROLL-UP DOORS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTICE !! Read the enclosed instructions carefully before attempting to install this door. Pay close attention to all warnings and important safety notices. This manual MUST be attached to the wall in close proximity of the door.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES Read the enclosed instructions carefully before attempting installation. If there are any questions about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have a trained door technician do the installation or repairs. 1. Operate the door ONLY when it is properly adjusted and free of all obstructions. 2. The door is constantly under EXTREME SPRING TENSION. Repairs, adjustments, installation and removal, ESPECIALLY of SPRINGS AND RELATED PARTS, are dangerous.
INTRODUCTION This manual's main function is to assist the installer in correctly installing the doors to ensure safe operation. Compliance with building codes, enforced in your area, is required. All Wayne-Dalton DS-50, DS-75, and DS-100 Mini Roll-Up Doors follow these general instructions. Additional installation information for the specific door shipped is found with the packing slip and on supplementary drawings.
STEP 1 UNPACKING DOORS Before removing the door from any packaging, inspect the packaging for visible signs of damage. If damage is noted, file a freight claim with the freight company immediately. Remove the door from the packaging. IMPORTANT! Do not cut tape that holds door in a roll. You will be told in STEP #7 when to cut the tape. No guarantee will be given by Wayne-Dalton if the door is not installed as instructed. Please review all instructions thoroughly before starting installation.
STEP 3 INSTALLING GUIDES Position the left hand guide 3/8” from the edge of the left hand jamb and loosely clamp in place. Using a level, adjust the guide so that it is plumb and tighten the clamp. Measure the exact curtain width of the door and add 7/8” to obtain the inside of guide to inside of guide measurement. Use this measurement to locate the right hand guide. Loosely clamp the right hand guide to the jamb. Plumb the guide and tighten the clamp.
STEP 5 LIFTING THE CURTAIN ASSEMBLY WARNING Curtain assembly is heavy. Allowing curtain assembly to fall while lifting, could result in severe or fatal injury. WARNING To avoid severe or fatal injury, never walk, stand, or work below curtain assembly before it is secured to support brackets. The left hand end of the curtain assembly (when installed) will be the end with the spring.
STEP 7 PRE-TENSIONING THE DOOR SPRING WARNING Spring tension can cause curtain assembly to rotate rapidly, possibly resulting in severe or fatal injury. To prevent such injury, securely hold curtain assembly to prevent rotating. Starting with the bottom bar at the top of the curtain roll, apply two complete turns of pre-tension to the spring by rotating the curtain roll in the direction shown. The amount of tension required may vary slightly. Final adjustment, if necessary, will be made in STEP #9.
STEP 9 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING SPRING BALANCE WARNING Spring tension can cause curtain assembly to rotate rapidly, possibly resulting in severe or fatal injury. To prevent such injury, securely hold curtain assembly to prevent rotating. Move the door up and down to check for proper spring tension. If the door lowers easily and raises hard, more spring tension is required. If the door lowers hard and raises easily, less spring tension is required.
II: DS-50 & 100 ‘C’ Stop-Clip Attachment: For doors with an aluminum bottom bar, a ‘C’ stop-clip will need to be installed. Only one bolt is required to secure the stop-clip to the bottom bar when attaching a lift handle on that side. Repeat assembly procedure for both sides.
STEP 12 INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL TENSION-PRO SPRING ADJUSTMENT BRACKET STEP #12a: Install the Tension-Pro™ bracket on the left hand side of the curtain assembly per STEP #4 & #5 in this manual. Insert cotter pin through hole in the axle end. Do not use large washer (shown in step #5) on the Tension-Pro™ bracket side axle end. Bend the ends of the cotter pin to secure in position. STEP #12b: Stretch and attach spring end to the spring holder plate of the Tension-Pro™ bracket.
To Increase Spring Tension: Move the door to the fully open position and place clamps on the guides to prevent door from closing. Using a large pipe wrench, grip the tensioning hex plate and rotate the ratchet gear assembly in the direction indicated above until an audible “CLICK” is heard (one gear tooth). Operate the door to determine if the spring tension increase was sufficient. Repeat spring tension increase procedure until door is properly balanced.
