Warnings and Safety Precautions

⚠️ Warning: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instructions manual carefully.

Warning: The maximum pressure of the product is 1360KG, and overloading is strictly prohibited.

• Before using this product, read and fully understand the operating instructions and all decals on the product. This is necessary to prevent injury to the operator and damage to the product.
• Do not attempt to use this product for anything other than its intended purpose.
• Do not use this product if it is visibly worn, distorted, or damaged.
• Always check the condition of rubber hook pads on all six hooks before using this tool. Replace if damaged or missing.
• Always wear appropriate eye protection.
• Inspect the spring of the strut assembly for any damage or corrosion. Spring breakage during compression could cause injury.
• Failure to properly position the strut assembly in the tool could result in serious injury from sudden release of the strut assembly parts.
• Always keep fingers and hands clear of the upper hook area.

Product Configuration

Parts List

Operation

❗ Notice: Lubricate the middle-threaded rod with lubricating oil.

• Install on a solid vertical wall or post. (Can also be installed on an Optional bench mount or portable cart). Suggest using 2 M12 bolts for installation.
• Anchor the unit to the wall or post utilizing the two holes in the back plate. Make sure there is no movement between the back plate and wall or post.

STEP 1: Positioning the Strut Assembly

1. Adjust lower right hook to a position just below the lower center hook. Adjust lower left hook to a position just above the lower center hook.
2. Place strut assembly on the lower center hook using the lowest possible coil of the spring.
3. Engage lower left and right hooks with spring. Center the spring within lower hooks. The three lower hooks should be equally extended.
   • Correct positioning: Three lower hooks are shown evenly spaced around the spring, with each hook's jaw gripping the spring coil securely and extended outwards equally.
   • Incorrect positioning: The lower hooks are unevenly spaced or not properly gripping the spring coil, indicating misalignment.
4. Align strut assembly by adjusting the lower left and right hooks. When properly aligned, the spring of the strut assembly will be parallel to the posts of the tool when viewed from both the front and side.
   • Front-Correct: View from the front shows the spring assembly held vertically, with the spring parallel to the tool's vertical posts.
   • Front-Incorrect: View from the front shows the spring assembly tilted or not parallel to the tool's vertical posts.
   • Side-Correct: View from the side shows the spring assembly held vertically, with the spring parallel to the tool's vertical posts.
   • Side-Incorrect: View from the side shows the spring assembly tilted or not parallel to the tool's vertical posts.
5. Identify the strut assembly type you are servicing:
   • Type 1: This type of strut has a bearing plate (which rotates) and upper spring seat. Place upper hooks on the upper spring seat. Do not place hooks on bearing plate. [Diagram shows a strut assembly with a distinct bearing plate and an upper spring seat. Arrows indicate rotation on the bearing plate. Upper hooks are positioned on the upper spring seat.]
   • Type 2: This type of strut has a bearing plate (which rotates) and upper spring seat without space between them. Place upper hooks on the highest coil of the spring. Do not place hooks on bearing plate. [Diagram shows a strut assembly where the bearing plate and upper spring seat appear integrated or very close. Arrows indicate rotation. Upper hooks are positioned on the highest coil of the spring.]
   • Type 3: This type of strut has only an upper spring seat. Place upper hooks on upper spring seat. [Diagram shows a strut assembly with only an upper spring seat, no separate bearing plate visible. Upper hooks are positioned on the upper spring seat.]
   • Type 4: This is a coil over shock. Place upper hooks on the highest coil of the spring. [Diagram shows a coil-over shock absorber assembly. Upper hooks are positioned on the highest coil of the spring.]
6. Engage all three upper hooks as shown above for the type of strut assembly you are servicing. The three upper hooks should be equally extended and contacting the strut.
   • Correct engagement: Three upper hooks are shown evenly gripping the spring coils, extended outwards equally, and making firm contact with the strut.
   • Incorrect engagement: The upper hooks are unevenly spaced, not properly gripping the spring, or not making firm contact with the strut.

❗ CAUTION: If the strut assembly is difficult to compress or the spring bows or tilts, release tension and reposition the strut assembly. Always keep fingers and hands clear of the upper hook area.

STEP 2: Disassembly

1. With the strut assembly properly positioned, turn handles to compress spring until the bottom coil of spring is just free of the lower spring seat. DO NOT OVER COMPRESS THE SPRING!
2. Secure strut to spring with the clamp to prevent strut from dropping out unexpectedly. [Diagram shows the strut assembly compressed, with a clamp mechanism attached to the spring and the tool's structure to prevent accidental release.]
3. Mark upper strut parts to aid in reassembly.

❗ WARNING: Use extreme care when working with a compressed spring. Never remove the piston rod nut when there is any spring pressure on the lower spring seat.

4. Working from the right side when facing strut compressor, remove the piston rod nut.
5. Remove the clamp while holding strut. Carefully remove strut and related parts.

STEP 3: Reassembly

1. Position the new strut within spring. Secure strut to spring with the clamp.
2. Install piston rod nut. NUT MUST BE FULLY ENGAGED ON PISTON ROD THREADS!
3. Release pressure on spring. Remove the clamp. Remove strut assembly from tool.

Maintenance

Attention: To avoid personal injury or damage to the product, only qualified personnel are allowed to perform repairs.

• Keep the hooks and pads free of oil and grease for a long time.
• Regularly check for wear on thrust bearings, drive screws, hooks, posts, locking pins, and slots.
• Wipe and clean the drive screws monthly.
• Regularly inspect the equipment for loose or missing components.
• Clean the thrust bearing once a year and lightly lubricate it.
