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.
 Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
 remove ill-fitting clothes. remove ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery. contain and/or tie back long hair.
 Wear appropriate protective clothing (leather gauntlets and leather apron for example).
 familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards of the compression spring restraint.
 DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the compression spring restraint.
PRE OPERATIONAL SAFETY.
 strut and spring compression station should be securely bolted to the workshop floor before use.
 DO NOT operate spring compressor if parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
 Before commencing compression of spring, ensure coils of the spring are seated securely in the jaws of the compressor and
cannot slide out during compression.
 Always fit the restraining chain around strut and spring (ensure the restraining chain is not trapped in the coils of the spring as
compressed).
 Always fit the coil spring compressor restraint system.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY.
 When 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.
 Before 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.
 We recommend the use of purpose made strut tools to remove the top-nut from the shock piston.
 once 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.
 Before releasing the compression ensure that the top strut-nut is securely fastened to the maker’s tolerance.
 release the compression slowly keeping your hands and fingers away from the spring assembly.
 Be sure that the tension on the spring is fully controlled by the strut assembly before removing it from the jaws of the
compressor.
POST OPERATIONAL SAFETY.
 When not in use, clean and store the spring compressor including restraint in a safe, dry, childproof location.
 Maintain 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.
