Thank you for purchasing a Sealey Product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions and properly maintained, give you years
of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. USE THIS
PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY, AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE .
2.1. Introduction. The VS7011.V3 is supplied with a 1 ton hydraulic hand pump unit that powers the ram and
yoke assembly. Up to 50% quicker than using other ratchet driven spring compressors. equipped with 2 pairs of
spring yokes with plasticised covers to prevent slippage and damage to springs.
 WARNING! Measure the outer diameter of the spring to be
compressed and select the correct set of jaws.
 DANGER! DO NOT compress the spring to an extent where
the coil windings touch. (see fig.2-A)
 ensure that the centre line of the spring remains parallel to
the compressor body at all times. This applies to both straight
springs and conical springs. The spring should not be touching
the piston or body of the compressor. (see fig.2-B)
 Secure the strut with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding
device.

Before use check compressor assembly for signs of
damage and particularly ensure jaws are in good condition and
securely mounted.
5.1. To Compress a Strut Removed From a Vehicle.
5.1.1. Screw the selected jaws onto the ram body and the piston
respectively. ensure that the recessed sides of the jaws are
facing each other.
5.1.2. Slacken the breather plug to allow the cylinder to breathe on the
low pressure side of the piston.
5.1.3. operate the pump handle (see fig.1) to drive the jaws together
to the approximate length of the spring and to allow compression of
as many windings as possible.
5.1.4. Place the spring strut compressor onto the spring, ensuring
the spring seats correctly into both the upper and the lower
jaws and cannot slide out during compression. (see fig.2-d & e)
5.1.5. ensure that the centre lines of the spring and compressor body
are parallel. (see fig.2).
5.1.6. operate the pump handle (see fig.1) and compress the spring
until the upper support bearing is free and the spring will rotate.
5.2. To Decompress a Strut Removed From a Vehicle.
5.2.1. To decompress the spring, open the valve slowly to open the
jaws (fig.1).
5.2.2. Tighten the breather plug after use to avoid accidental oil
leakage in transit.
6.1. 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 Sealey dealer who will be able to advise you.
6.2. After use, release the hydraulic pressure and grease the piston rod using lM grease.
6.3. Keep the compressor clean, and when not in use store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.1. Assembly.
4.1.1. Connect the hose to the ram unit as shown in fig.1. ensure the hose connectors are fully seated but do
not over tighten. see fig.1 for valve operation.
4.1.2. ensure the jaws are fully screwed down.
4.1.3. Screw locking ring (fig.2) against the bottom jaw to prevent jaw rotating.
