 GENERAL SAFETY.

 WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

 WARNING!Wear approved safety hand and eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).

 WARNING! TRAPPING DANGER – Keep hands and fingers away from the spring and compressing yokes 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.

 Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards of the spring compressor.

 DO NOT force the spring compressor to achieve a task it was not designed to perform.

 DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the spring compressor.

 PRE OPERATIONAL SAFETY.

 Coil Spring Compression station should be securely bolted to the workshop floor before use.

 Apply grease to the front and rear faces of the main upright to assist the smooth action of the compressor.

 DO NOT operate spring compressor if parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

 Before commencing compression, make visual inspection of machine to ensure pins are securely positioned and that there is no sign of wear or

fatigue – if found, do not use the unit and refer to your local Sealey dealer for advice and replacement parts.

 Ensure yoke locating pins are properly positioned and safety clips are attached correctly.

 Before commencing compression of spring, ensure coils of the spring are seated securely in the yokes of the compressor and cannot slide out

during compression.

 Always fit the safety chain around strut and spring (ensure chain is not trapped in the coils of the spring as compressed).

 OPERATIONAL SAFETY.

 When applying compression to the spring, always stand to one side of the unit.

 DANGER! Stop compressing the spring before the coils touch.

 Before attempting to remove top cap nut, always use a tool or short stick to test if the compression has been relieved. DO NOT use your hands

or fingers.

 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 yokes of the compressor.

 POST OPERATIONAL SAFETY.

 When not in use, clean and store the spring compressor in a safe, dry, childproof location.

 Maintain the spring compressor in good condition. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be

dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

RE231.V3 is a foot operated hydraulic unit. RE232.V3 is an air actuated hydraulic unit with alternative foot operation. Quicker and easier than

using a ratchet driven spring compressor. Plastic coated yokes reduce the risk of spring slippage or damage and are suitable for springs from

Ø80mm to Ø175mm.
