Here's How It Works
1. Assemble hook by placing the prongs in spaces provided in the rear of the
body. Make sure that the prongs are positioned down and away from the body
(see diagram). Tighten set screws 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 mov-
ing, you may put too much stress on the prongs and cause them to break.
4. Apply pressure on the top of the hook assembly with your knee or foot mak-
ing certain that the prongs penetrate the carpet and pad and engage the
wood floor.
5. Begin stretching with light pressure to ensure that the prongs have engaged
the wood. Continue stretching with increasing pressure.
6. As the carpet stretches, it will move up and over the prongs toward the
stretcher head.
Note: Use No. 747 Double
Stretcher Hook with any
Stretcher Head. (An adapter
tube is necessary with Taylor
stretchers.)
