The way I did it - on my 16ft wide door (too big, in my opinion
- but that's what was there)
* Disconnected the electric opener
* While moving it by hand
* watch and feel all the way through the travel.
* adjust the tension on one or the other spring. I don't
know what the correct installation is for those spring,
but mine are hooked to solid frame at one end and cabled
to a pulley at the other end. Changing the length of
the cable changes the tension.
* repeat until satisfied, frustrated, or out of time
* reconnect the electric opener and test
