OPERATION WARNING
HOW TO DETACH THE SPRING FORM THE VEHICLE. BEFORE EACH OPERATION, CHECK
VEHICLE SPRING AND MAKE SURE, THAT SPRING COMPRESSOR IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL
AND NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
• Before placing the coil spring compressor onto the spring, lift the vehicle until the wheel
is completely free from the ground. Use jack stand to support the vehicle. Make sure that
the vehicle is braked on level and firm ground. And make sure that the vehicle cannot move
during the operation.
• Place the coil spring compressor inside the spring and mount the
lower jaw as low as possible between two spring windings. Make sure
to use the RIGHT SIZE of jaws. The spring must rest securely in the
jaws. Make sure, the spring is clean were the jaws are mounted on the
windings. Wipe away any grease and dirt.
• Adjust the compressor to proper length. Place the upper jaw as high as
possible in the spring windings to compress as many spring windings
as possible.
• Take care that the seating of the spring windings in the jaws is correct.
Spring compressor shall be in the centre of spring windings (see figure
1).
• Hold on to the upper jaw until the spring is firmly fixed in the jaws.
• Compress the spring by driving the torque stick with an air wrench or a
ratchet spanner.
• Only use air wrench with the supplied torque stick providing a 40 Nm
torque limit.
• STOP compressing before the windings of the spring touch each other.
• Do not continue to drive when the upper or lower travel ends of the
spring compressor are reached.
• After the spring is properly compressed, remove spring compressor (with spring) from the
vehicle.
Move spring compressor SLOWLY and CAREFULLY to a work bench. Place the compressor
•
in a bench vice equipped for clamping round objects and fixate it by clamping the jaw (see
figure 2). NEVER CLAMP ON THE SPRING.
• SLOWLY and CAREFULLY release the spring compressor and remove the spring from it.
Please always take care during the entire operation and avoid standing in hazardous posi-
tions in case the spring releases unintendedly.
• Store coil spring compressor in a safe place.
