offer the new strut spring up to the compressor's yokes and fit it in the same position as that of the old spring.
Position the lowest coil of the spring in the lower yoke and rotate the spring, so that the coil is held as low as possible. Swing the
small upper arms into position and locate the upper clamps on the uppermost available coil. ensure that the coil is placed inside the
recesses of the yokes to ensure that the coil will not break free under compression. Tighten the locking knobs (fig.9).
noTe: There must be coils free at either end to allow them to seat on the strut plates, without the strut and compressor yokes
interfering.
6.2.2.
Insert the strut up inside the spring, and move the locating plate just underneath the bottom of the strut to support it and secure the plate
in place by tightening the knob.
6.2.3.
Use the chain to secure the spring by pulling it across and hooking it onto the side frame clip. Shut the safety guard, ensuring that it locks in place
and fit safety chain (fig.10).

decompress the spring carefully and slowly, using the pedal on the foot control unit, ensuring the spring is located correctly into the strut
top plate.
