Безбедносна упутства

УПОЗОРЕЊЕ: Spring compressors are high-tension tools. Improper use can result in serious injury or death. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and heavy-duty gloves.

• Always ensure the compressor is securely attached to the spring before applying tension.
• Inspect the tool for any damage or wear before each use. Do not use if components are bent, cracked, or worn.
• Ensure the spring is clean and free of debris that could interfere with jaw grip.
• Apply tension gradually and evenly. Avoid sudden movements or excessive force.
• Never exceed the maximum tension capacity of 1000 kg.
• Keep hands and other body parts clear of the spring and compressor mechanism during operation.
• Use only the appropriate jaw size for the spring being compressed.
• Store the tool in its plastic case when not in use to protect it from damage and corrosion.

Упутства за подешавање

1. Припремите возило: Safely lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and any components necessary to access the McPherson strut assembly.
2. Inspect the Strut: Ensure the strut assembly and spring are clean and free of excessive dirt or rust that could impede the compressor's grip.
3. Select Appropriate Jaws: Choose the pair of jaw clamps that best fits the diameter of the spring you intend to compress. The jaws should sit securely on the spring coils without excessive play or being too tight.

4. Attach Jaws to Compressor Body: Securely attach the selected jaw clamps to the main compressor body using the provided fasteners. Ensure they are tightened properly.
5. Позиционирање компресора: Place the compressor assembly onto the spring. Position the jaws on opposite sides of the spring, ensuring they grip at least two full coils. For springs with a taper, use the 30 mm offset spacer to ensure even compression.

Упутство за употребу

1. Begin Compression: Using a suitable wrench, slowly turn the nut on the main compressor body. This will draw the jaws together, compressing the spring.
2. Monitor Compression: Continuously observe the spring and jaws during compression. Ensure the jaws remain securely seated and the spring compresses evenly. Stop immediately if any component shows signs of stress or slippage.

3. Compress to Required Length: Continue compressing the spring until enough tension is relieved to safely remove or install the strut components (e.g., top hat, shock absorber). Do not over-compress the spring.
4. Remove/Install Components: With the spring safely compressed, proceed with the necessary repair or replacement of the strut components.
5. Release Compression: Once the strut assembly is reassembled or the spring is ready for removal, slowly and gradually loosen the compressor nut to release the spring tension. Ensure the spring expands evenly.
