Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the world’s safest garage door openers! By
design, this opener will detect obstructions and reverse rather than force the door through
obstructions. To ensure your new idrive
®
opener works as intended, your garage door must be
installed and balanced properly.
When installinG a neW DooR With the oPeneR:
Complete the door installation rst using the instructions provided with the door (which
includes assembling the opener on the Torquemaster
®
tube), then proceed with these
instructions beginning with Step 25 on page 13.
When installinG an oPeneR on an eXistinG DooR With toRQUemasteR
®
:
Before installing your garage door opener, open and close you door manually to ensure that it
operates smoothly from top to bottom. A properly balanced door should not take a lot of effort
to open or close by hand. The door should stay in the open and in the closed position without
effort. If a door opens fast going up, the door may need spring tension reduced. If the door
drops fast going down, the door may need spring tension increased.
If the door operates properly, check and record your Torquemaster
®
counterbalance spring
settings. Then proceed with the unwinding of the spring(s) for installation of your idrive
®
,
carefully following the instructions in STEP1 of your idrive
®
Installation Instructions and
Owner’s Manual. After the idrive
®
is installed on the tube, rewind the Torquemaster
®
to the
previous settings.
If the operation of the door does not meet these criteria, you need to adjust the spring balance
per your door’s installation manual or call a professional installer to make adjustments before
installing idrive
®
.
Instruction manuals are available for download on www.wayne-dalton.com. Use the web site to
also nd the location of your nearest professional dealer.
Once the door is properly balanced and operates smoothly, you may proceed with the
installation of your idrive
®
garage door opener.
