OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• ALWAYS WEAR personal protective equipment as protective clothing, mask, gloves, hel-
met, shoes etc.
• Before each use, check the unit for full functional capability. If the functional capability is
not ensured or if damage is detected, the unit should not be used and you should contact
your supplier or manufacturer immediately.
• When compressing the spring, neither the spring windings nor the jaws should come in
contact with each other, see figure B.
• The centre line of the spring must always be parallel to the compressing device, especially
for conical springs.
• Use only suitable jaws for the springs. The spring must rest securely within the outer rib
and the safety ridges. Take care that the spring cannot slide out of the jaws.
• When using air wrench, wrench torque limitation is 120 Nm.
• Pay attention to compressed spring. Never drop or impact compressed spring, which can
cause serious injury.
• Use only for coil springs mentioned in this user instruction.
• The bolts of the jaws must always be firmly tightened with 60 Nm torque.
• For repair, use only original parts and personnel qualified by manufacturer. Unauthorized
parts are forbidden.
• Do not make any construction changes to the unit, especially to the safety pin. See figure J
for parts list.
• Keep the workplace clean and tidy at all times.
• Do not leave compressed spring unattended.
• Do not use the compressor for other purposes than it was designed for and do NOT OVER-
LOAD the compressor.
• For indoor use and room temperature only.
• Store this product in a dry place. NOT in moist places causing corrosion.
• Keep in mind that compressed spring has a huge energy. The instruction may not cover all
hazards. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL when using the coil spring compressor to prevent yourself
from injury.
• Before and during the clamping process as well as after each operation the correct position
of the spring in the jaws shall be inspected.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Working safely with this tool is possible only when the operating and
safety information are read completely and the instructions contained

OPERATION ADVICE
REMOVETHE MCPHERSON SPRING STRUT
• Before each operation, the McPherson spring strut shall be uninstalled from vehicle by
proper means
• Make sure to use the RIGHT SIZE of jaws. Select jaws according to the SCANGRIP appli-
cation car list on www.scangrip.com and mount on the spring compressor. Make sure the
spring is clean where the jaws are mounted on the windings. Wipe away grease and dirt.
• Fit the retaining bolts and tighten firmly.
• Rotate the drive nut to drive the jaws apart to match the length of the spring and to com-
press as many windings as possible.
• Mount the compressor on a vise by clamping the front head of compressor as below.
• Take care that the seating of the spring windings in the jaws is correct. Spring compressor
shall be in the centre of spring windings (see Figure B).
IMPORTANT
It is very important for your safety that the bolts of the jaws are
firmly tightened. Check bolt torque (60 Nm) periodically.

OPERATION ADVICE - SAFETYWIRE
• Always make sure that the safety wire is securely installed around the spring, and that the
quick link is locked before starting the compressing or decompressing process. Make sure
that the wire does not get pinched during the process.
• If needed, the wire can be slid out of the retaining slots in order to allow more space for the
compressing process. Always remember to snap the wire back in place upon completion of
your work.

OPERATION ADVICE
• Rotate the drive nut to drive the jaws apart to match the length of the spring and to com-
press as many windings as possible. See below.
• Make sure the spring is clean where the jaws are mounted on the windings.
• Preload compressor by turning the hand wheel until the jaws has a firm grip on the spring.
See figure J.
• Compress the spring by rotating the drive nut using a socket wrench. It is also possible to us
an air wrench. (Limit torque to 120 Nm, in order not to overload the safety pin).
• Do not continue to drive when the upper or lower travel ends of spring compressor are
reached.
• When the spring has been safely compressed, remove the top bearing of the strut.
• Before removing the bearing recheck that the spring is still firmly seated in the jaws. See
figure K.

OPERATION ADVICE
• Remove damper and carefully release tension on the spring.
• Replace worn parts and repeat above procedure in reversed order for safe reassembly.
• Store coil spring compressor in safe and proper place after use.
IMPORTANT
Please always take care during the entire operation and avoid stand-
ing in hazardous places in case the spring releases unintendedly.
