MOUNTING THE FRAME

Frame Shoulder Support Adjustment

Being sure the shoulder supports are free to

swivel in their mountings, simultaneously rotate

the shoulder support adjustment knobs clockwise

until both shoulder supports gently and squarely

contact the frame.

Adjusting the Frame Mounting

Stands

Loosen the lock bolts of the frame support

posts and space them apart with the frame

support slides separated by the approximate

length of the racquet head. Although it is not

required, it is good practice to center the sup-

port posts on the turntable. Lock one of the

posts in position by tightening the lock bolt and

position the other post until the frame support

slide is positioned near the inside surface of

the racquet frame. Securely tighten the lock

bolt of the second support post.

Caution: To avoid racquet damage, the center posts should not contact the racquet prior to

locking down the support posts.

Tightening the Frame Supports

Tighten the Frame Support Slides by turn-

ing the adjustment knob clockwise until

snug against the racquet frame and slight

resistance is felt.

Caution: Overtightening the Center Supports

will stretch the head of the racquet and could

cause racquet damage.

SecuringtheFrameShoulder Clamps

Lock the shoulder supports in position by

turning the knob at the base clockwise.

Repeat the adjustment procedure for the

remaining support post.

Re-tighten all of the frame supports in the

same order as before.

Do not overtighten any of the supports as

racquet damage may occur.

The supports should be tightened to the point

where the racquet frame will not move in the

mounting system when the handle is grasped and attempts are made to move it. Should any

supports lose contact with the frame while stringing, they should be re-tightened.

MOUNTING THE FRAME

Frame Shoulder SupportAdjustment

The shoulder supports are designed to rotate

and can be adjusted to provide maximum

support to the racquet frame. Rotate the

support so that the pads contact the frame

squarely when the arms are closed against

the racquet. Should the shoulder supports

block string holes, adjust the frame support

slides to re-position the racquet between the

arms so the shoulder supports make contact

with the racquet between grommet holes.

STRINGING THE FRAME

Clamp Base Operation

To lock the string clamp base to the turntable,

rotate the clamp base locking lever clockwise.

To release the string clamp base from the

turntable, rotate the clamp base locking lever

counter-clockwise.

The Locking Lever should be tightened

enough to prevent clamp base slippage on

the turntable, when the desired tension is

placed on the string. To go from the loose

position to the clamped position and back,

generally requires the rotation permitted by

the slot in the clamp base.

String Clamp Operation

The string clamps are a dual action design

where the string clamp and clamp base oper-

ate independently of one another.

To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and

place the string between the jaws and de-

press the string clamp lever to secure the

string. The clamping pressure applied to the

string should be adjusted to provide sufcient

pressure to secure the string when subjected

to the desired pulling tension. The diamond

coated gripper plates provide for increased

friction between the clamps and the string

to allow for reduced clamping pressure while securing and holding the string under tension.

Note that excessive pressure can damage both the strings and String Clamp.

Getting Started

To begin stringing the main strings, thread

the two ends of the string through the two

center holes at the appropriate end of the

frame and continue through the opposite

center holes. Thread one end of the string

through the adjacent grommet hole and pull

excess by hand.

Secure one of the strings using a string clamp.

To tension a string, push the tension switch

or the foot pedal. The string gripper will ro-

tate and slowly apply tension to the string.

When the set tension has been attained, the

gripper will stop rotating and the display will

ash. As the tensioned string stretches, the

gripper may rotate intermittently, maintaining

the set tension.

To release the string after clamping, push the

tension switch or foot pedal. If the string grip-

per does not release the string, depress and

hold the return button to release the string.

STRINGING THE FRAME

Applying Tension

To apply tension, wrap the string clockwise

around the gripper drum and position the

string between the gripper jaws.

The string must pass over the upper gripper

jaw before being placed between the gripper

jaws, as the tension on the string provides

the clamping force to the gripper jaws.

Before applying tension, gently pull the string

until all slack is removed.

Setting the String Tension

String tensions may be entered and stored into

one of nine memory storage settings (See sec-

tion on Control panel Functions and features) by

using the tension index buttons. While tension

setting is entered, the value displayed will be

temporary until the “Enter” button is pressed to

store it in one of the nine permanent memory

settings.

Aramid ber and metallic strings will generally string up tighter on the machine compared

to synthetic or natural gut strings. Therefore, when stringing with Aramid (Kevlar, Technora)

hybrid strings or metallic strings, we recommend setting tension 4-5 lbs. lower than you would

normally use for synthetic or natural gut strings.

CAUTION: NEVER TENSION A STRING WITH YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN

THE STRING AND THE UPPER GRIPPER JAW AS SERIOUS INJURY COULD

RESULT IF YOUR FINGER IS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE STRING AND THE

UPPER JAW DURING TENSIONING. PUSH GRIPPER REVERSING

SWITCH OR ANY BUTTON IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
