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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
