STRINGING THE FRAME
Clamp Base Operation
Rotate the Base Locking Lever clockwise to secure the
clamp base to the turntable.
Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock the string
clamp. The Locking Lever is spring loaded to assist the
unlocking of the clamp base.
The Locking Lever should be tightened enough to pre-
vent 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, gener-
ally requires the rotation permitted by the slot in th clamp
base. If the rotation is not sufficient to allow smooth
operation of, adjust the Clamp Base Locking Nut as
outlined below.
Note: If the string slips in the string clamp while tensioning,
adjust the gap between the clamp jaws as per the
following instructions.
Clamping the First Main String
To begin stringing the main strings, thread the two ends
of the string through the two center holes at the appro-
priate end of the frame and continue through the oppo-
site 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.
Pulling Tension
Wrap the loose section of string once around the roller
guide and insert the string between the diamoind dust
coated string gripper plates. Pull the string perpendicu-
lar to the gripper plates while slowly rotating the tensioner
crank clockwise until the brake lever pops out of the
latching block. The string is now tensioned and can be
clamped in place with the remaining fixed clamp.
Repeat the above steps until all main strings are in-
stalled. Tie off ends of main strings as per racquet
manufacturers recommendations.
