To make sure that the lips on both spring holders are correctly seated, pull the swivel arms outward

If the spring holders can be pulled out, the lips are not

by slowly building up down-pressure.

clamping properly!!

If you are unable to pull out the spring holders, you can assume that they are correctly seated and

thus secured against slipping under pressure.

Before continuing compressing the coil spring, make sure you clamp the two movable arms at the

back of the balance cantilever in the required position. To do so, turn the lever at the rear of the

balance cantilever clockwise.

This prevents lateral movement of the spring holder arm. When you have finished replacing the

shock-absorbers do not release the lock at the rear of the balance cantilever until you have

released the pressure on the spring.

Maintenance and service:

Lubricate moving part and pivot points regularly including the vertical support tubes where the arms

for the swivel jaws move up and down.

Clean the vertical support tubes where the arms for the swivel jaws move up and down regularly to

avoid dirt, dust and other particles.

The press must always be connected to a lubricator and a water separator, placed no longer than

16 meters (40 feet) away. Otherwise it invalidates the warranty.

Avoid dirt, dust and other particles getting into the air system.

A skilled person must inspect the press visually for any leakages or damages.

Repeat inspection at least every 12 month.

If the press is out of use for longer period then disconnect the air hose.

Use only original spare parts.

1: What type of coil springs can I compress?

The coil spring compressor can compress all known McPherson coil springs with either standard or

special holders. In principle, this means that the CSC (G2) can be used on any type of automobile

or light truck, given a compressed air supply of 10 bar.

2: How many kilos of force does the coil spring compressor

build up?

Thanks to the ALS System, very little force is required to compress McPherson struts. With this

system, force is applied precisely to the two points on the coil spring at which it can most easily be

compressed. No matter whether you have a clockwise or anti-clockwise coil spring, the two spring

holders will always find the right position for easy compression above the spring.
