Operation Warning
How to detach the spring form the vehicle.
Before each operation, check vehicle spring and make
sure that spring compressor function well and no damage.
GB
• Before placing the coil spring compressor onto the spring, lift the vehicle
until the wheel is completely free from the ground. Use jack stand to
support the vehicle. Make sure that vehicle is braked on level and rigid
ground. Also make sure that vehicle can not move during the whole
operation.
• Place the coil spring compressor inside the spring and mount the lower
jaw as low as possible between two spring windings . Make sure to use
the RIGHT SIZE of jaws. Spring shall be fully inside the jaws. Make
sure the spring is clean were the jaws are mounted on the windings.
Wipe away crease and dirt.
• Adjust the compressor to proper length. Place the upper jaw as high as
possible in the spring windings to press as many spring windings as possible.
• Take care that the seating of the spring windings in the jaws is correct.
Spring compressor shall be in the center of spring windings (see Fig. 1, page 6).
• Hold on to the upper jaw until the spring compressor is rmly xed in the jaws.
• Compress the spring together by drive the torque stick with an air wrench or a
ratchet spanner.
• Use air wrench only with the supplied torque stick (Safety key) which has a
torque limit of max. 40 Nm.
• Wrench torque shall not over 40Nm.
• We recommend using an air ratchet or torque wrench.
• DON NOT compress any more, when the windings of the spring are in contact
with each other.
• Do not continue to drive when the upper or lower travel ends of spring
compressor are reached.
• After Spring is properly compressed, move spring compressor (with spring)
from the vehicle.
• ove spring compressor SLOWLY and CAREFULLY to work stage.

damage the jaws.
The bench vice shall have groove for clamping
round jaw. Do not exceed the max tension force
of 40 Nm as this could damage the compressor.

the spring are in contact with each other.
Do not continue to drive when the upper or lower
travel ends of spring compressor are reached.
During this operation, stand beside the compressor.
