HOW TO INSTALL THE SPRING ON A CAR
Step 1:
Make sure that both jaws are correctly positioned
Step 2:
Preload the coil spring compressor. Make sure that the
jaws are still correctly positioned after preload because
the jaws may slip eccentrically. (see Fig.3).
Step 3:
Fix the spring compressor with spring on a bench vice
with grooves.
Clamp on the jaws by grooves.
Never clamp on the spring.
Clamp the jaws so that jaws not rotate in compressing
operation.
Do not clamp too tight that may damage the jaws.
The bench vice shall have groove for clamping round jaw.
Do not exceed the max tension force of 40 Nm as this
could damage the compressor.
Do not compress any more, when the windings of the
spring are in contact with each other.
Do not continue to drive when the upper or lower travel
ends of spring compressor are reached.
During this operation, stand beside the compressor.
Do not stand in the line of spring central axis to prevent
accidental releasing and injury.
Step 4:
Mount spring compressor on the vehicle proper position.
slowly and carefully release the spring compressor.
Make sure that spring is in right position and then remove
the spring compressor.
