INSTRUCTIONS FOR
COIL SPRING COMPRESSOR RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
MODEL NO: RE23RS
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these
instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY.
WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
WARNING! Wear approved safety hands, face and eye protection (full face visor is essential).
WARNING! TRAPPING DANGER – Keep hands and fingers away from the spring and compressing jaws in use.
9Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting.
9Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9Remove ill-fitting clothes. Remove ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery. Contain and/or tie back long hair.
9Wear appropriate protective clothing (leather gauntlets and leather apron for example).
9Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards of the compression spring restraint.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the compression spring restraint.
1.2. PRE OPERATIONAL SAFETY.
9Strut and Spring Compression station should be securely bolted to the workshop floor before use.
8DO NOT operate spring compressor if parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
9Before commencing compression of spring, ensure coils of the spring are seated securely in the jaws of the compressor and
cannot slide out during compression.
9Always fit the restraining chain around strut and spring (ensure the restraining chain is not trapped in the coils of the spring as compressed).
9Always fit the coil spring compressor restraint system.
1.3. OPERATIONAL SAFETY.
9When applying compression to the spring, always stand to one side of the unit.
▲DANGER! Stop compressing the spring as soon as the top cap of shock absorber is no longer under load . Never allow coils to touch
each other.
9Before attempting to remove top cap nut, always use a tool to test if the compression has been relieved. DO NOT use your
hands/fingers to test for strut to spring forces.
9We recommend the use of purpose made strut tools to remove the top-nut from the shock piston.
9Once compressed, and the strut removed, we recommend releasing the tension on the spring. DO NOT leave the spring under compression in
the machine unattended and DO NOT leave in compression for prolonged periods, i.e. overnight.
9Before releasing the compression ensure that the top strut-nut is securely fastened to the maker’s tolerance.
9Release the compression slowly keeping your hands and fingers away from the spring assembly.
9Be sure that the tension on the spring is fully controlled by the strut assembly before removing it from the jaws of the compressor.
1.4. POST OPERATIONAL SAFETY.
9When not in use, clean and store the spring compressor including restraint in a safe, dry, childproof location.
9Maintain the spring compressor and restraint in good condition. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised
parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

4.2. Sequence of assembly
4.2.1. Align (items 5, 1 and 6) as shown in g.3, then pass the pivot spindle (item 2) through all three items with equal projection. Correct
orientation is critical. Note (item 5) has a longer boss than (item 6) which makes it easier to identify, both are assembled with the lug
projecting inboard. Orientation of (Item 1) is clearly shown by the position of the tapped hole for the pinch knob (item 11).
4.2.2. Spring (item 7) over ends of pivot spindle paying particular attention to the position of the lug on the boss shown in g.5. DO NOT over
bend the loop when tting over spindle, this note also applies when tting (items 8, 9 and 10).
4.2.3. Spring (item 8) over ends of pivot spindle paying particular attention to the position of the lug on the boss shown in g.5.
4.2.4. Spring (item 9) over ends of pivot spindle paying particular attention to the position of the lug on the boss shown in g.5.
4.2.5. Spring (item 10) over ends of pivot spindle paying particular attention to the position of the lug on the boss shown in g.5.
4.2.6. Place washer (item 3) at each end of spindle and wind on hexagon stiff nuts (item 4) with equal engagement, without clamping the
assembly. All loops to pivot freely under their own weight, limited only by the lugs.
4.2.7. Fit pinch knob (item 11) until ush with inside face of bracket (without protrusion).
4.3. Fitting to Sealey RE231, RE2311 and RE232 Coil Spring Compressors
4.3.1. Read these instructions in conjunction with RE231, RE2311 or RE232 spring compressor instructions. As explained in section 1;
always fit the restraining chain around strut and spring fig.3 (single restraint). Strut and spring compression station should be securely bolted to
the workshop floor before use.
4.3.2. Offer complete assembly as shown in fig.4 on to the vertical column of the spring compressor.
4.3.3. With the pinch knob, clamp the assembly at the desired height such that incremental holes in the column align with holes in the restraint bracket
lugs. DO NOT over-tighten deforming pillar or bracket. This height position is determined by the position of the spring being compressed.
4.3.4. Finally insert a M12 X 75 bolt through the restraint bracket lugs and column; retain with a M12 hexagon nut.
5. OPERATION
5.1. All the loops of the restraint system, except item 5, can be readily swept up and away from the work area. These loops go beyond the vertical to
a self supported leaning position. Item 5 swept path is limited by a mechanical stop.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. The robust nature of the restraint system means that it only requires cleaning after use with a lightly oiled cloth.
6.2. Check freedom of loop sweep, which should result from the cleaning/lubricating process in 6.1.
6.3. Replace immediately any part that is or appears to be damaged.
