Shake the TorqueMaster

spring tube assembly gently to extend the winding shafts out

about 5” on each side. For single spring applications, there will be no left hand spring in the

TorqueMaster

spring tube assembly. Lift the TorqueMaster

spring tube assembly and rest it

on top of the ﬂag angles.

NOTE: Cable drum assemblies are marked right and left hand. Cable drums and TorqueMas-

ter

spring tube assembly is cam shaped to ﬁt together only one way.

Starting on the right hand side, pre-wrap the cable drum with the counterbalance lift cable

1-1/2 wraps, as shown.

Position the TorqueMaster

spring tube assembly so the cam peak is pointing straight up.

Slide the cable drum over the winding shaft until the cable drum seats against the Torque-

Master

spring tube assembly.

The winding shaft must extend past the cable drum far enough to expose the splines and the

grooves. Align the winding shaft grooves with the round notch in the ﬂag angle.

FOR DOUBLE SPRING APPLICATIONS: Repeat for left hand side.

FOR SINGLE SPRING APPLICATIONS: Pre-wrap the left hand cable drum with the counter-

balance lift cable 1-1/2 wraps and insert the loose winding shaft into the cable drum, prior to

sliding the cable drum over the TorqueMaster

spring tube assembly.

NOTE: On single spring applications, take care in handling the loose winding shaft (left hand

side), so that it does not slide back into the TorqueMaster

spring tube assembly.

End brackets are right and left hand. You can identify the right hand end bracket by the

disconnect cable guide hole, located at the top of the end bracket.

Beginning with the right hand side, slide the end bracket onto the winding shaft so that the

splines in the ratchet wheel ﬁt onto the winding shaft grooves.

Attach the end bracket to the ﬂag angle using (1) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolt, (1) 5/16”

washer and (1) 5/16”-18 hex nut. Then secure the end bracket to the jamb using (1) 5/16” x

1-5/8” lag screw.

Repeat same process for left hand end bracket.

NOTE: If ratchet wheel falls out of end bracket, refer to illustration for proper insertion

orientation.

NOTE: On single spring applications, no ratchet wheel is required on the left hand side.
