TIP:
If door spring adjustment is necessary, check door
opening and closing. If door does not open easily or
falls too quickly, check spring cable routing. The cable is
held in place by "shoulders" on the pulley. Check to be
sure cable has not slipped over the pulley shoulders.

the wood base with an adjustable
wrench or 15/16" socket.
• Discard base.
