SEAM REPAIR
Simply straddle the seam and adjust the position of the dual heads to properly close
the seam gap. Apply latex or adhesive. Allow adhesive to achieve full bond before
removing the pattern stretcher, or use stay nails until cured. Be careful not to get
adhesive on to the face yarns of the carpet. Failure to properly seal seam edges often
results in edge ravel, edge de-lamination, tuft loss or seam separation.
TAILBLADE ATTACHMENT
How to Install the Tailblade Attachment:
CARE OF YOUR STRETCHER
1. To keep your Pattern Stretcher operating smoothly and to minimize wear, all moving
parts should be kept clean. Lubrication is not necessary because the tool has built-in
lubrication in its precision bushings.
2. Protect your Pattern Stretcher against damage when not in use. The tool comes
complete with a carrying case. Keep your Pattern Stretcher in the case when not in
use.
3. If additional lubrication is desired, use paraffin wax to avoid getting oil spots on the
carpet.
4. Before disassembling your Pattern Stretcher, locate the end of all Pivot Pins which
show the three holdings grooves. Remove pins by driving the grooved end of the
pins outward. When reassembling, install Pivot Pins from opposite side of casting.
1. On the underside of the Pattern Matcher is a black Allen screw
holding a "cup" washer and the powerhead in place. Remove the
black Allen screw with the Allen wrench provided.
2. Remove the cup washer and powerhead.
3. Position tailblade attachment so that the blade is pointing
outward.
4. Invert the cup washer (the cup part of the washer should be facing
the frame assembly).
5. Tighten Allen screw.
6. Reverse this procedure when replacing the second power head.
When replacing the powerhead, be sure the "cup" of the cup
washer is facing away from the frame assembly.
