▲ DANGER! Stop compressing the spring before the coils touch / bind.
▲ DANGER! Before attempting to remove top cap nut, always use a tool or similar to test if the compression has been relieved, DO NOT
use your hands / fingers.
We recommend the use of purpose made strut tools to remove the top-nut from the shock piston.

compression in the machine unattended and DO NOT leave in compression for prolonged periods, i.e. overnight.
Before releasing the compression ensure that the top strut-nut is securely tightened to the manufacturer's tolerance.

Be sure that the tension on the spring is fully controlled by the strut assembly before removing it from the yokes of the compressor.
