Wayne-Dalton 8700 User Manual

NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not
attach the mounting surface with nails.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if neces-
sary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge
of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting
at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached
weatherstrip in the header and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure
the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom
section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately
12” to 18” apart.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside
the header edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting
at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached
weatherstrip in the header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the
weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom sec-
tion from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12”
to 18” apart.
HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the space needed above the top of
the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be motor
operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
NOTE: 6” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local
Wayne Dalton dealer.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening
back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.
