1.2. PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY
DO NOT operate compressor if parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

Before commencing compression, make a visual inspection of machine to ensure pins are securely positioned and that there is no sign
9
of wear or fatigue – if found, DO NOT use and refer to your local Sealey stockist for advice and replacement parts.
Ensure that spring holding attachments are correctly attached and positioned before use.
9
Before commencing compression of spring, ensure coils of the spring are seated securely in the yokes of the compressor and cannot slide out
9
during compression.
ALWAYS ensure that the safety guard locks in place.

1.3. OPERATIONAL SAFETY
When applying compression to the spring, always stand to one side of the compressor.

▲ 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 absorber piston.
9
Once compressed, and the strut removed, we recommend releasing the tension on the spring. DO NOT leave the spring under
9
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.
9
Release the compression slowly keeping your hands and fingers away from the spring assembly.
9
Be sure that the tension on the spring is fully controlled by the strut assembly before removing it from the yokes of the compressor.
