To ensure the safekeeping of these items, close the garage door.Typical signs of an engaged system.Single spring system: Visually inspect the TorqueMaster® Plus right hand end bracket to con-firm that the system has engaged (see illustration). If the system is engaged, then the door willnot close. If the drawbar operator force settings were properly set during the initial installation,the door will not open. If the drawbar operator can physically overcome the weight of the doorand lift it to the open position, then the counterbalance lift cables will be slack. If the system isengaged, DO NOT attempt to make the repairs. Instead, have a trained door system technicianmake the necessary repairs to counterbalance lift cables, spring assemblies and other hardware.Double spring system: Visually inspect the TorqueMaster® Plus end brackets to confirmthat the system has engaged (see illustration). Door will open, but will not close. Door makes adistinct “clicking” noise upon being opened. If the system is engaged, carefully follow the resetinstructions below or refer to the reset tag (attached to right hand end bracket) to reset theTorqueMaster® Plus system.Resetting an engaged TorqueMaster® Plus double spring system only:1.
