Here's How It Works
1. Assemble hook by placing prong in space provided in the rear of the body.
Make sure that the prong is positioned down and away from the body (see
diagram). Tighten set screw to lock in place.
2. Insert body into the end of the stretcher head. Pass the locking pin through
the last hole in the stretcher head tube and through the body. Then pass the
locking pin collar over the tube and lock in place over the pin.
3. Place the stretcher head on the carpet, being certain that the stretcher head
pins are not (and will not) come in contact with the tackless strip when fully
extended. If you attempt to stretch the carpet with the head blocked from
moving, you may put too much stress on the prong and cause it to break.
4. Apply pressure on the top of the hook assembly with your knee or foot making
certain that the prong penetrates the carpet and pad and engages the wood
floor.
5. Begin stretching with light pressure to ensure that the prong has engaged the
wood. Continue stretching with increasing pressure.
6. As the carpet stretches, it will move up and over the prong toward the stretcher
head.
Note: Use No. 737 Stretcher
Hook with any Stretcher Head.
(An adapter tube is necessary
with Taylor stretchers.)
