OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• ALWAYS WEAR personal protective equipment like protective clothing, mask, gloves, helmet, shoes, etc.
• Before each use, check the unit for full functional capability. If the functional capability is not ensured or if the 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 center 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 an air wrench, the 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 the manufacturer. Unauthorized parts are forbidden.
• ****Do not make any construction changes to the unit, especially to the safety pin. See figure J for the 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 OVERLOAD 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 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.

OPERATING CONTROLS

OPERATION ADVICE

REMOVE THE MCPHERSON SPRING STRUT

• Before each operation, the McPherson spring strut shall be uninstalled from the vehicle by proper means

• Make sure to use the RIGHT SIZE of jaws. Select jaws according to the SCANGRIP application 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 compress as many windings as possible.

IMPORTANT
It is very important for your safety that the bolts of the jaws are firmly tightened. Check bolt torque (60 Nm) periodically.

• Mount the compressor on a vise by clamping the front head of the compressor as below.
  

• Take care that the seating of the spring windings in the jaws is correct. The Spring compressor shall be in the center of spring windings (see Figure B).

OPERATION ADVICE – SAFETY WIRE

• 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 compress 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 handwheel until the jaws have 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 use 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 the 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.
  

• Remove the damper and carefully release the tension on the spring.
  

• Replace worn parts and repeat above procedure in reversed order for safe reassembly.

• Store coil spring compressor in a safe and proper place after use.

IMPORTANT
Please always take care during the entire operation and avoid standing in hazardous places in case the spring releases unintendedly.
