4. OPERATION
WARNING! Measure the outer diameter of the spring to be
!
compressed and select the correct set of jaws.
DANGER! Do not compress the spring to an extent
"
where the coil windings touch. (See fig.2-A)
Ensure that the centre line of the spring remains
#
parallel to the compressor body at all times. This
applies to both straight springs and conical springs. The
spring should not be touching the piston or body of the
compressor. (See fig.2-B)
Secure the strut with a clamp, vice or other adequate
#
holding device.
Before use check compressor assembly for signs of
#
damage and particularly ensure jaws are in good
condition and securely mounted.

To Compress a Strut Removed From a Vehicle.
4.1.1. Screw the selected jaws onto the ram body and the
piston respectively. Ensure that the recessed sides of
the jaws are facing each other.
4.1.2. Operate the pump handle (see fig.1) to drive the jaws
together to the approximate length of the spring and to
allow compression of as many windings as possible.
4.1.3. Place the spring strut compressor onto the spring,
ensuring the spring seats correctly into both the upper
and the lower jaws and cannot slide out during
compression. (See fig.2-D & E)
4.1.4. Ensure that the centre lines of the spring and
compressor body are parallel. (See fig.2).
4.1.5. Operate the pump handle (see fig.1) and compress the
spring until the upper support bearing is free and the
spring will rotate.
