INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. The basic setup is as shown on the
right.
• Each yoke has safety lips to
prevent slippage and is angled
to fit the pitch of the spring to
achieve maximum surface
contact between the yokes
and the spring,
2. The yokes are adjusted by rotating
the Hex nut (C).
• Do not use air tools to tighten or
loosen the Hex nut (C)
3. Ensure the yokes and the column
of the compressor are correctly
aligned at all times during
compression.
• Do not allow the spring to
touch the column of the
compressor, use extension
blocks if required see next
section.

TO COMPRESS A SPRING REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE.
1. Measure the outside diameter of the spring to be compressed and select
the correct set of jaws to fit the spring.
2. Mount the selected jaws on the compressor body, using the retaining bolts
and tighten securely.
3. Rotate the hexagonal nut, to drive the jaws apart to the length of the
spring and to allow compression of as many windings as possible.
4. Place the spring compressor onto the spring, ensuring the spring seats
correctly between the safety lips and the outer ribs and cannot slide out
during compression.
5. Ensure the jaws and body are correctly aligned.
6. Rotate the hexagonal nut and compress the spring.
7. Secure the spring with a spring clamp or other suitable device.
TO DECOMPRESS A SPRING REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE.
1. To decompress the spring, reverse the compress procedure.
• Make sure you release the tension slowly to reduce the risk of the
spring slipping/flying out.
MAINTAINING THE SPRING COMPRESSOR
• Before each use check the compressor to ensure it is not damaged
or worn.
• If suspect, do not use the unit, but contact your local Clarke Dealer
who will be able to advise you regarding repair and spare parts.
• Grease the compressor spindle as necessary to inhibit corrosion.
• Keep the compressor clean, and when not in use, store in a safe,
dry, location.
WARNING: DO NOT COMPRESS THE SPRING TO AN EXTENT WHERE THE
COIL WINDINGS OR JAWS TOUCH.
WARNING: DO NOT USED AIR TOOLS.
