MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Garage Door
NOTICE
DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean
them on a routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur when a door
has been exposed to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking
may also occur as a result of direct exposure to sunlight. Cleaning the door may
help to restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing
finish of the garage door, a periodic washing of the garage door is recommended.
The Following Cleaning Solution is Recommended:
A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5%
phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm water will aid in the removal of most
dirt.
NOTICE
THE USE OF DETERGENTS CONTAINING GREATER THAN 0.5% PHOSPHATE IS NOT
RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN GENERAL CLEANING OF GARAGE DOORS. BE SURE
TO CLEAN BEHIND WEATHER-STRIPS ON BOTH SIDES AND TOP OF DOOR.
NOTICE
NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
NOTICE
DO NOT USE ANY WINDOW CLEANING FLUIDS, SCOURING COMPOUNDS, GRITTY
CLOTHS OR SOLVENT-BASED CLEANERS OF ANY KIND.

Painting Your Garage Door
Refer to Instruction Insert "Field Painting and Finishing Fiberglass or Steel
Door Sections".
Maintaining The Finish On Your Garage Door
If the factory finish is beginning to fade, the door may require a field applied top
clear coat. Depending on environment and usage, this may be necessary after
1 to 3 years of use. Refer to Instruction Insert "Field Painting and Finishing
Fiberglass or Steel Door Sections".
Operation And Maintenance
Operating Your Garage Door:

instructions and owner's manual. When correctly installed, your Wayne Dalton
door will operate smoothly. Always operate your door with controlled movements.
Do not slam your door or throw your door into the open position, this may cause
damage to the door or its components. If your door has an electric opener, refer
to the owner's manual to disconnect the opener before performing manual door
operation below.
Manual Door Operation:

AND/OR CLOSING A DOOR. ALWAYS USE LIFT HANDLES/SUITABLE GRIP-
PING POINTS WHEN OPERATING THE DOOR MANUALLY.
OPENING A DOOR: Make sure the lock (if present) are in the unlocked position.
Lift the door by using the lift handles/suitable gripping points only. Door should
open with little resistance.
CLOSING A DOOR: From inside the garage, pull door downward using lift handles/

IMPORTANT: If present, Pull-down rope must be removed and locks must be
removed or made inoperative in the unlocked position.
When connecting a drawbar (trolley-type) garage door operator to this door, a
drawbar operator bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door,
along with any struts provided with the door. Always use the drawbar operator
bracket supplied with the door. To avoid possible damage to your door, reinforce
the top section with a strut (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the
drawbar operator must be according to manufacturer's instructions and force
settings must be adjusted properly. Refer to the owner's manual supplied with your
drawbar operator for complete details on installation, operation, maintenance and
testing of the operator.
Maintaining Your Garage Door:
Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation
instructions and owner's manual. Perform routine maintenance steps once
a month, and have the door professionally inspected once a year. Review
your Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual for the garage door. These
instructions are available at no charge from Wayne Dalton, a division of Overhead
Door Corporation, P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope, OH, 44660, or at

Monthly Inspections:
1. Visual Inspection:
Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any material found not to be
structurally sound must be replaced. It may be necessary to uninstall part or all of
the door assembly in order to replace defective material. Refer to the supplemental
instructions "Removing an Existing Door/Preparing the Opening" at
www.Wayne-Dalton.com. Inspect the spring(s), counterbalance lift cables,
track rollers, pulleys, rear back hangs and other door hardware for signs of worn
or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws and/or bolts, except on bottom corner
brackets or on the counterbalance assembly. Check exterior surface of the door
sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has not shifted right or left in the
opening. If you suspect problems, contact a trained door system technician.

AND OTHER HARDWARE ATTACHED TO THE SPRINGS ARE UNDER EXTREME
TENSION, AND IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY. ONLY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN SHOULD ADJUST
THEM, BY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
