PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR

PRIOR TO CLASSICDRIvE

®

 OPENER INSTALLATION

To ensure your new Classicdrive

®

 opener works as intended, your garage door must be 

properly installed and balanced.

Before installing your garage door opener, open and close you door manually to ensure 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 drifting down or creeping up.  If a door opens fast, the door may need spring 
tension reduced.  If the door drops fast, the door may need spring tension increased.

If the door operates properly, then proceed to your Classicdrive

®

 installation manual for 

instructions on how to install the Classicdrive

® 

garage door opener.

If the operation of the door does not meet these requirements, adjust the spring 
balance per your door’s installation manual or call a professional installer to make 
adjustments before installing Classicdrive

®

.

Instruction manuals are available for download on

 www.wayne-dalton.com

. Use the web site to 

also find the location of your nearest professional dealer.

Once the door is properly balanced and operates smoothly, you may proceed with the 
installation of your Classicdrive

 garage door opener.
