The purpose of these instructions is to guide the installer in equipping a garage door with a removable postor posts for use against high windload conditions. Under normal operations, the removable post is not to beengaged. The horizontal struts provide the structural strength for normal operation and wind conditions. The

principal purpose ofthe removable post is to provide an additional structural member between the concretefloor and the header support.

ImportantThe addition of the Windload Post to an existing garage door will increase the wind load capacity of the door

assembly as shown on the Windload drawing. However, it is necessary that the garage building structure alsobe capable of withstanding this wind load pressure. The ultimate strength ofthe entire system is a function ofthe garage door reinforcement, door jamb attachment and building structure.
