Attach the hooks of each SST arm across the diameter of the coil spring.

CAUTION:: ·

Make sure that the hooks are securely attached to the coil spring.

·

If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.

·

Make sure that the hooks of the upper and lower SST arms are attached to the coil spring so that the distance between the hooks is as large as possible.

·

If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.

·

Make sure that the arms of SST are parallel and the number of coils between the arms is the same on each side.

·

If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.

Install the stopper pins to the hooks of SST.

CAUTION:: ·

Make sure that the stopper pins are installed securely.

Using SST, compress the coil spring.

CAUTION:: ·

If the coil spring starts to bow out while using SST, stop immediately and reattach SST correctly.

·

If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.

·

Do not compress the coil spring to the point where the coils touch each other.

·

If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.

·
