4. Cuts should be arranged so the longest pattern is installed first. Make sure carpet is
dry laid prior to applying adhesive. Pre-stretch carpet only enough to match pattern
closely. Apply adhesive with the proper notched trowel, set carpet into adhesive
wet, to aid the ability to move the carpet into pattern alignment. *NOTE: Only apply
the amount of adhesive that can be covered and pattern alignment achieved before
adhesive starts to tack up. After pattern alignment is achieved the use of stay nails is
required to hold carpet until the adhesive is fully cured.
5. Match the pattern at the midpoint of the seam's length. Work from the seam's
midpoint to the seams ends. Bring the pattern into register using the stretcher.
6. After the carpet has been properly aligned into the wet adhesive, the use of stay nails
is required to hold carpet alignment until carpet adhesive is fully cured. 24-36 hours.
LOCKING HEAD OPERATION
The 10-128 can be used in either the "automatic locking" or conventional method by
setting the Lock Control as shown below. The automatic locking mechanism locks
the stretcher in position approximately each 1/4" (6.5mm) of travel. The stretcher will
hold this position and will not open. This enables the user to make "hands-off" seam
repairs, as it is not necessary to hold the handle in position.
To use the stretcher in the "automatic locking" mode, open the stretcher, then set the
Control Knob on the "O" mark.
To use the 10-128 in the conventional "non locking" mode, set the lock control on the
"I" marked as shown below.
