or posts for use against high windload conditions.

Under normal operations, the Removable Post is not

to be engaged. The horizontal struts (see figure to left)

provide the structural strength for normal operation

and wind conditions. The principal of the Removable

Post is to provide an additional structural member

between the concrete floor and the header support.

The Removable Windload Post should be engaged

for wind speed in excess of 75 mph.

High Windload Preparation

2. Unplug the garage door opener (if equipped) and

remove pin that attaches opener drawbar arm to

garage door.3. Lock both left and right hand slide locks (if supplied).

4. Attach the header links to the header support with

a clevis pin and a cotter pin.

5. Thread the cable assemblies through the post and

attach to the door hinges using the hinge clip,

thumb screws, washers and nuts that are provided.

6. Engage the hasp lock bars into the floor plate and

secure.7. For doors with more than one Removable Post,

repeat steps 4 through 6 on the remaining posts.

CAUTION: Garage door is now in a locked position.

Do NOT attempt to operate.

8. To return to standard door operation, disengage

the Removable Post hasp lock bars at the floor plate

and store the lock bars in the up position. Unscrew

thumb screws from the hinge clips. Store the cable

assemblies with the Removable Post. Remove the
