ማዋቀር
Initial Setup Procedures
- ማሸግ፡ Carefully remove the Valve Spring Tester from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any visible signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- የባትሪ ጭነት; The device operates on a standard 9-volt battery. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the back or side of the unit. Insert a fresh 9-volt battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- አቀማመጥ፡- Place the tester on a sturdy, flat, and stable workbench or surface that can support its weight and the forces applied during testing.
- አብራ፡ Press the designated power button to turn on the device. The backlit digital display should illuminate, indicating the unit is ready for use.

Measuring Spring Force
- ማሳያውን ዜሮ ማድረግ፦ Before placing any spring on the tester, ensure the digital display reads zero. If it does not, press the 'ZERO' or 'TARE' button (if available) to reset the reading.
- Positioning the Spring: Carefully place the spring to be tested onto the lower platform of the tester. Ensure it is centered and stable to prevent it from slipping during compression. The tester accommodates springs up to 2 inches (50mm) in diameter.
- Compressing the Spring: Use the compression mechanism (e.g., a hand crank or lever) to slowly and steadily compress the spring. Observe the digital display for the real-time force reading.
- Reading Peak Hold: The Intercomp 100058 features a peak hold function. This function automatically captures and displays the maximum force reading achieved during the compression cycle. This is particularly useful for springs that may be compressed quickly.
- መልቀቅasing the Spring: Once the desired measurement is obtained or the spring is fully compressed and released, slowly and carefully release the compression mechanism. Remove the spring from the platform.
- ብዙ ንባቦች፡- For optimal accuracy and consistency, it is recommended to perform several measurements for each spring and calculate an average of the results.
The digital display provides readings in precise 0.2 lb (or equivalent kg) increments, allowing for detailed analysis of spring characteristics.

Care and Storage Guidelines
- ማጽዳት፡ After each use, wipe the device with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- የባትሪ መተካት፡ Replace the 9-volt battery promptly when the low battery indicator appears on the display or if the display becomes dim. If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and corrosion.
- ማከማቻ፡ Store the Valve Spring Tester in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Protect it from impacts and vibrations.
- ልኬት፡ To ensure continued accuracy and reliability, periodic calibration by an authorized service center or qualified technician is highly recommended, especially with frequent or critical use.
