Care And Maintenance - Roberts GEL PRO 505 Manual De Operación

INTRODUCTION
The 10-505 Knee Kicker incorporates a number of new concepts and features to improve
reliability and performance.
This is the first knee kicker to incorporate a gel infused bumper pad to reduce impact shock
while still transferring maximum energy to the head pins. Additionally, the angle of the pad
now conforms to the natural angle of your knee to increase comfort.
A new lever design to adjust the pin depth is easier to use and turn than the dial version.
Components for the knee kicker are precision die-cast aluminum alloy, with extra thick walls.
The neck has been increased for more stability.
LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The 10-505 Knee Kicker adjusts from
17.75" to 21.75" in length to suit the user's
preference and job requirements.
To adjust the kicker, press the steel button
on top of the body casting, and pull the
bumper/channel assembly to the desired
setting. Test the security by pulling back
and forth on the bumper.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
The pin plate containing the large
hardened steel pins can be adjusted by
lifting the lever knob on the kicker head
and rotating it into position. The lever has
8 positions, and the pins can be extended
to 1/2 in. below the head casting. Use
the proper pin length suited to the carpet
weight you are installing. For lighter
carpeting, the nap strips are generally
sufficient to engage the material, and the
pin plate can be retracted to the full "up"
position. Extend the pins for heavy carpets
with firm backing.
BUMPER
The new patent pending bumper is designed to reduce shock and injury to the knee. It has
been infused with gel and angled to fit the natural alignment of you knee. Do not continue to
use a worn or damaged bumper, as injury or discomfort could occur. Order a replacement
bumper part number 10-505-200 from your distributor.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Remove lint and carpet pile from the nap strips with a small screwdriver blade from time to
time to maintain the gripping strength of the nap strips.
2. Apply light, white grease to the channel occasionally to keep it lubricated.
REMOVE EXCESS GREASE with a clean cloth.
3. The polished aluminum finish will oxidize and become dull after a period of time. Use an
aluminum polishing compound to restore the original shiny surface. Be sure to remove all
polish after you finish. Wrapping your kicker in a towel when not in use will help preserve
the finish and prevent damage.
4. Periodic tightening of the adjustable lever screw may be necessary. This screw can be
easily accessed beneath the removable red plug on the kicker dome.
