- Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level, and non-slip surface before operation.
- Overskrid ikke den maksimale belastningskapacitet på 1500 kg.
- Ensure the air supply pressure does not exceed 120psi (8.3 bar).
- Keep hands and other body parts clear of moving parts during operation.
- Inspect the unit for damage or wear before each use. Do not operate if damaged.
- Only use the unit for its intended purpose: compressing coil springs within the specified diameter range (Ø80mm to Ø175mm).
- Ensure the spring is securely seated in the plastic-coated yokes before applying pressure.
- Udstyret må ikke ændres på nogen måde.
- Hold børn og uautoriserede personer væk fra arbejdsområdet.
3. Komponenter og dele
The Sealey RE232 Coil Spring Compressing Station consists of the following main components:
- Main Vertical Column with adjustable upper yoke positions.
- Hydraulic Cylinder and Piston Assembly.
- Air Actuated Control Valve.
- Foot Pedal for alternative operation.
- Upper and Lower Plastic-Coated Yokes (suitable for springs Ø80mm to Ø175mm).
- Base Plate for stability.
- Air Hose with quick connector.


4. Opsætning
- Udpakning: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
- Forsamling: The main unit typically comes pre-assembled. Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tight before first use. Refer to the assembly diagram (if provided separately) for detailed steps if any assembly is required.
- Placering: Position the compressing station on a firm, level, and clean concrete surface capable of supporting the unit's weight and the maximum load. Ensure adequate clear space around the unit for safe operation.
- Luftforsyningsforbindelse: Connect a suitable air compressor to the air inlet on the unit using the provided air hose. Ensure the air supply is clean, dry, and regulated to a maximum of 120psi (8.3 bar).
- Indledende kontrol: Before loading a spring, perform a test cycle by operating the foot pedal or air control to ensure the hydraulic ram extends and retracts smoothly.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
- Prepare the Spring: Ensure the coil spring is clean and free from debris.
- Position the Yokes: Adjust the upper yoke to an appropriate height for the spring being compressed. The unit features 7 upper yoke positions for versatility. The lower yoke has a travel of 340mm.
- Load the Spring: Carefully place the coil spring into the plastic-coated yokes. Ensure it is centered and securely seated. The yokes are designed for springs with diameters from Ø80mm to Ø175mm.
- Compress the Spring:
- Air Actuation: Use the air control valve to slowly apply pressure, causing the hydraulic ram to compress the spring.
- Betjening af fodpedal: Alternatively, use the foot pedal to manually actuate the hydraulic unit and compress the spring.
- Secure the Spring: Once the spring is compressed to the desired level, secure it using appropriate spring clamps or retaining tools (not included with the unit).
- Udløs tryk: Slowly release the pressure from the hydraulic unit.
- Remove the Spring: Carefully remove the secured spring from the compressing station.
Note: The plastic-coated yokes are designed to reduce the risk of spring slippage or damage during the compression process.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Sealey RE232 Coil Spring Compressing Station.
- Daglig inspektion: Before each use, inspect the unit for any visible damage, loose fasteners, or signs of hydraulic fluid leaks. Check the condition of the air hose and connections.
- Rensning: Keep the unit clean and free from dirt, grease, and debris. Wipe down surfaces with a clean cloth. Do not use harsh solvents that could damage paint or seals.
- Hydraulikvæskeniveau: Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level. Refer to the unit's specific instructions for accessing the reservoir and the type of hydraulic fluid recommended (typically ISO VG 32 or equivalent). Top up if necessary.
- Smøring: Lubricate moving parts and pivot points as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth operation.
- Opbevaring: When not in use, store the unit in a clean, dry, and secure location, away from extreme temperatures and corrosive environments.
- Professionel servicering: Any repairs or major maintenance, especially involving the hydraulic system, should only be performed by qualified personnel.
