Never place your hands on the spring when fitting
the claws.
The operator must ensure the spring is set
properly in the claws before starting compression.
If the spring is not placed properly at the bottom
of the claw as in photo
(
4
)
, choose appropriate
claws.
During compression, the operator must not bring
the spring up to joining the coils.
Compression is sufficient when the shock
absorber is free inside the spring.
Before removing the upper cup of the
Macpherson strut, check the latter is free, and
is no longer under the spring’s pressure.
When removing the upper cup, the operator
must always beware potential falling of the shock
absorber.
Maintenance / Guarantee terms
The machine must be supplied with lubricated
air (
B
).
For maximum effectiveness, the distance
between the compressor and air production
source should not exceed 10 meters.
The pneumatic jack is fitted with gaskets which
are wear parts, to be changed according to their
frequency of use.
Slow and regular wear of certain parts may cause
a drop in the compressor’s power. In this case,
call our after-sales department for a maintenance
offer.
Before any use, check that the device has no air
leaks.
The guiding rods must never be lubricated.
Clean them regularly, and every 300 cycles
maximum (
5
).
Guarantee: D = 2 years, refer to general terms of
the FACOM guarantee in the general catalogue
or price list.
VERY IMPORTANT
General safety instructions
Read these safety instructions carefully, as well as
the user, operating and maintenance manual.
Always store them handy for later consultation.
In case of handling,
it must be moved using a
trolley after strapping the load onto it.
For safety purposes, always have two persons
handle the workstation.
This workstation was designed to compress the
shock absorber spring to separate it from the
Macpherson strut.
Never use this workstation in applications not to
be performed with a spring compressor.
Always use tools appropriate to each specific
task.
Handle the workstation appropriately and, before
any use, check that all its elements and
components are in good condition and that
none are missing.
Its use may be ensured only by authorized
persons having read and perfectly understood
both the assembly instructions and requirements
in this manual.
Never alter the specifications of the workstation.
Any breach of these provisions may lead to
damage to the user, the workstation itself or the
part on which work is performed.
The manufacturer waives any liability in case of
improper use of the workstation or component
handled.
Air pressure must range between 6 and 10 bar.
Only use FACOM claws and cups.
Never modify the original claws and cups.
Always close the safety guard during use (
1
).
Use and precaution of use
Position the first coil of the shock absorber spring
onto the lower cup.
Turn the shock absorber so that the coil is in
uniform contact with the cup. Position the two
upper claws onto the coil available (
2
).
When fitting the Macpherson strut, the operator
may guide the claws by maintaining them using
the lateral arms.
Once the claws set to the spring diameter and in
place inside it, the arm tightening screws must be
locked (
3
).
