Operation
BE AWARE it is inadvisable to leave a coil spring under tension due to the stored energy.
Immediately replace the coil spring onto the shock absorber in order to reduce time that spring
is under tension away from the vehicle and potentially a danger to you or anyone in your
workshop.
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the shock absorber and remove from the
motorcycle.
2. Put the hook from the spring compressor into position over the shock absorber.
3. Engage the hooks on the spring as far apart as possible.
4. Refer to the image below on how the hooks should be attached on the shock absorber.
5. Make sure they are securely attached.
6. Ensure the hooks are correctly aligned and that the two compressors are parallel to
each other.
7. Compress the spring.To tighten the spring compressor use a 19mm spanner. For each turn
of the spanner make sure to equally apply the same to the other side of the spring.
DO NOT allow for the spring to
become coil bound.
NEVER use air tools to compress
the spring as this will cause serious
injury or death to you or those
around you.
8. When the spring is compressed
enough to rotate on the strut
remove the plate from the strut.
The spring must remain
compressed until after the strut
has been replaced.
