5. OPERATION
WARNING! Measure the outer diameter of the spring to be compressed and select the correct set of
jaws.
▲DANGER! DO NOT compress the spring to an extent where the coilwindingstouch.(seefig.2-A)
9Ensure that the centre line of the spring remains parallel to the compressor body at all times.
This applies to both straight springs and conical springs. The spring should not be touching the piston
 orbodyofthecompressor.(seefig.2-B)
9Secure the strut with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
9Before use check compressor assembly for signs of damage and particularly ensure jaws are in
good condition and securely mounted.
5.1. To Compress a Strut Removed From a Vehicle.
5.1.1. Screw the selected jaws onto the ram body and the piston respectively. Ensure that the recessed
sides of the jaws are facing each other.
5.1.2. Slacken the breather plug to allow the cylinder to breathe on the low pressure side of the piston.
5.1.3. Operatethepumphandle(seefig.1)todrivethejawstogether to the approximate length of the
spring and to allow compression of as many windings as possible.
5.2. Place the spring strut compressor onto the spring, ensuring the spring seats correctly into both
the upper and the lower jawsandcannotslideoutduringcompression.(seefig.2-D&E)
5.2.1. Ensurethatthecentrelinesofthespringandcompressorbodyareparallel.(seefig.2).
