EZ-SET TORSION SPRINGS The EZ-SET Torsion Spring System makes torsion spring installation faster and easier for the do-it-yourselfer. Our system eliminates the difficult and manual winding process. EZ-SET TORSION SPRING HOW TO REMOVE TENSION FROM REMAINING SPRINGS IN ORDER TO WEIGH DOOR These instructions apply only for the purpose of removing tension from residential EZ-SET torsion spring configurations with standard radius (springs mounted to the front header of the garage). If the door has two EZ-SET torsion springs and only one is broken, always replace both springs. TOOLS NEEDED:3/8" medium-duty reversible drill 1/4" insert bit or 7/16" socket wrench C-clamp or locking pliersSTEP 1: Disconnect the garage door opener, lock the door securely in the DOWN position using the door lock, C-clamp or locking pliers placed directly above a roller. This must be done to prevent the door from prematurely opening which could cause injury.STEP 2: If the door has only one spring and it is broken, proceed to weigh door.STEP 3: If there are two springs, the remaining unbroken spring must be unwound and replaced. Remove all tension COMPLETELY from the torsion spring. DO NOT loosen any set screws on the spring winding cones. Insert the 1/4" insert bit in the drill and engage the bit or 7/16" socket wrench on the drive shaft of the winding unit and rotate the drive shaft counterclockwise to remove tension from the spring (Illus. 1).NOTE: High drill RPM may cause lubricant to come out of the winding unit. All tension in the spring is removed when the line (or description) on the spring is in a straight line. There should be no tension on the torsion cables, and the shaft should rotate freely. Proceed to weigh the door.
