SECTION 39 - FRAMES - CHAPTER 1
39-7
ASSEMBLY
1. Clamp the spring firmly in a vise.
2. Clean the spring nuts thoroughly with emery
cloth to remove rust and rough areas. Apply
lubricant, such as light oil, to the spring nuts to
ease assembly.
3. Use a large wrench to screw the spring nuts into
each end of the spring. Install the spring nuts so
they are fully into the coil but not recessed.
NOTE: The flotation spring wrench is not needed for
assembly. The installation process turns the spring
nuts clockwise, pushing the spring coils open without
any special tools.
NOTE: The assembled springs may be more difficult
to install on the machine if the spring nuts are
installed too far into the coils.
CAUTION
Screw the spring nuts into the spring coil until all
the grooves are covered. Failure to install the
spring nut properly could allow it to slip out of the
spring, causing personal injury or damage to the
machine.
