Adjust the steel teeth for different carpet types by rotating the
adjustment dial on the front of the knee kicker. Choose the appropriate pin
depth setting for your job.
Bumper Maintenance
Rotate the gel foam rubber bumper to distribute wear evenly. Do not use
worn or damaged bumpers to avoid injury. Order a replacement if needed.
Care and Maintenance
- Clear lint and carpet pile from nap grip with a small screwdriver periodically.
- Apply light white grease occasionally to keep the channel operating smoothly.
- Protect the kicker from damage by wrapping it in a cloth or towel when not in use.
- Avoid letting the kicker teeth hit metal moldings or tack strips to prevent damage.

INTRODUCTION
- Your Capitol® 110300 is precision engineered and manufactured to provide years of dependable service. Die cast aluminum parts are hand finished to ensure precise operation and appearance. Each 110300 is fully inspected for proper operation.
- Knee kickers are designed to be used in residential and light commercial installations. Professional installers and industry associations such as the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) recommend the use of power stretchers on large jobs and for heavy carpeting material. Capitol 110300 kickers are finished with baked epoxy enamel, which provides a hard protective coating.
LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The Capitol 110300 High-Profile Knee Kicker adjusts from 17.5″ to 20.9″ to suit the individual installer’s preference and unique job conditions. To adjust the Kicker, depress the steel trigger at the front portion, then pull the bumper and channel assembly out to the desired setting. MAKE SURE THE TRIGGER IS FULLY SEATED IN THE CLOSEST “STOP”, AND THAT THE REAR PART OF THE TRIGGER IS FLUSH WITH THE CASTING. Test the security of the trigger by pulling back and forth on the bumper.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
The large steel teeth can be adjusted to suit different types of carpet and carpet backings by rotating the adjustment dial on the front of the knee kicker. The teeth can be adjusted from the fully retracted position for light carpet and backings, to extending 1/2″ for heavy carpet and backings. Select the pin depth setting that is best for your job.
BUMPER
The gel foam rubber bumper is designed to cushion the impact to the installer’s knee, and must be maintained in perfect condition. The bumper can be mounted in four positions to distribute the wear evenly, by removing the four mounting screws, rotating the bumper, then reattaching. Do not use worn or damaged bumpers, as injury might result. Order a replacement bumper.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Remove lint and carpet pile from the nap grip occasionally with a small screwdriver to keep the nap grips clear. This will maintain the grip’s ability to engage the carpet nap.
- Apply a light, white grease on occasion to the channel to keep it operating smoothly. Wipe off excess grease before using the kicker.
- Give your kicker the care and protection you would to any precision professional tool. Many installers wrap their kickers in a heavy cloth or towel to protect the finish from being chipped or dented by other tools.
- Avoid having the kicker’s teeth hit metal moldings or tack strips as damage to the teeth may occur.
