PAR T GOLF DOUBLE EAGLE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
B13
SECTION B THE PLATFORM
Attach carpet to half of the
platform
–
This method is used to assure that the carpet backing surface is covered
completely with at least fifty percent of the applied adhesive, resulting in
fewer installation bubbles or problems due to the adhesive. Bond
strength between carpet, adhesive and platform develops much faster
using the contact method.
STEP 6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 for
the other half of platform.
–
Follow the procedure outlined in Steps 4 and 5 above to lay the turf on
the remaining portion of the platform.
STEP 7 Roll the carpet
–
Once the carpet has been properly joined to the platform, the entire area
should be rolled using a 35 pound roller. Roll carpet in both E-W and
N-S directions to assure proper bond.
PLACING THE PAR T TRI-TURF™
STEP 8 Set Tri-Turf into place
Figure 6
–
_
Locate the plywood pieces removed for the Tri-Turf cut out and
place them in the hole, on the floor.
Set the Tri-Turf into place, on top of plywood scraps (above).
NOTE: In the event a bubble should develop, DO NOT cut or slit open the raised area. Most bubbles are
caused from solvents left in the adhesive and trapped under the turf during lay-in. The best way to remove
them is to puncture the bubble with an awl, ice pick or hypodermic syringe and press the trapped solvent
gas vapors out by pressing and squeezing the area with both hands. Allow the turf to lay back into the
adhesive and either sand bag or re-roll the area to develop maximum bond strength.
If for some reason the bubble does not re-bond adequately, the hypodermic syringe can be used with a
small quantity of seam sealer to re-bond the turf to the platform. After the sealer has been injected into
the bubble, spread the sealer by hand rubbing and then allow it to air dry for 5 to 10 minutes before
rolling.
