OPERATION WARNING
How to detach the spring form the vehicle. Before each operation, check vehicle spring and make
sure that spring compressor function well and no damage.
• 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 vehicle is
braked on level and rigid ground. Also make sure that vehicle cannot move during the whole
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. Spring shall be fully
inside the jaws. Make sure the spring is clean were the jaws are mounted on the windings. Wipe
away crease and dirt.
• Adjust the compressor to proper length. Place the upper jaw as high as possible in the spring
windings to press 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 center of spring windings (see Fig.2).
• Hold on to the upper jaw until the spring compressor is firmly fixed in the jaws.
• Compress the spring together by drive the torque stick with an air wrench or a ratchet spanner.
• Use air wrench only with the supplied torque stick (Safety key) which has a torque limit of max. 40
Nm. Wrench torque shall not over 40Nm. We recommend using an air ratchet or torque wrench.
• DON NOT compress any more, when the windings of the spring are in contact with each other.
• Do not continue to drive when the upper or lower travel ends of spring compressor are reached.
• After Spring is properly compressed, move spring compressor (with spring) from the vehicle.
• Move spring compressor SLOWLY and CAREFULLY to work stage. Fix the compressor on a
bench vice with groove that can make jaws clamped (see Fig.3). NEVER CLAMP ON SPRINGS.
• SLOWLY and CAREFULLY release the spring compressor and remove spring from it. During this
operation, please stand beside the compressor. Please DO NOT stand in the line of spring central
axis to prevent accidental releasing and injury.
• Store coil spring compressor in safe and proper place.
