Page 7: Mounting The Frame
Aramid fiber and metallic strings will generally string up tighter on the X-ES machine compared to synthetic or natural gut strings. Therefore, when string- ing with Aramid (Kevlar, Technora) hybrid strings or metallic strings, we recommend setting tension 4-5 lbs.
Page 8 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 gen- tly and squarely contact the frame. Securing the Frame Shoulder Clamps Lock the shoulder supports in position by turning the knob at the base clockwise.
Page 9: Stringing The Frame
STRINGING THE FRAME String Clamp Operation The string c lamps are a dual action design where the string clamp and clamp base operate 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.
Page 10 STRINGING THE FRAME 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.
Page 11 STRINGING THE FRAME Clamping the First Main String Secure the tensioned main string using the remaining fixed clamp. Repeat the proce- dure for all of the remaining main strings and tie off following the racquet manufacturers recommendations. Follow the manufacturer's recommended stringing pattern for one or two piece string- ing.
Page 12: Additional Features
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Storage Drawers There are two storage drawers located in the base of the machine. The drawers open from the right end of the base and lock into the end cap with a spring loaded latch. To open the drawers, reach under the right side end caps to find the the spring loaded latch handle.
Page 13: Pathfinder Awl
PATHFINDER AWL The X-ES includes the Pathfinder stringing awl which creates a pathway between or around strings to make inserting a string through tight grommets easier and quicker. Insert the awl through the grommet hole in the same manner as for traditional awls.
Page 14: Maintenance And Adjustments
MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting the String Clamp Jaw Spacing The string clamps will need minor adjustments according to what string type, construction, and gauge you are using. To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) between the clamp jaws, insert the string through the racquet as if you were beginning the main strings.
Page 15 MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS Tension Calibration Procedure If you suspect that tensioner is not pulling the correct tension, you should check the tension Low LBs with a Tension Calibrator which provides a mea- Low KGs surement of the actual pulling tension being applied by the machine.
Page 16: Troubleshooting Tips
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS PROBLEM SOLUTION String slips in clamps. - Adjust gap between jaws. - Clean clamp jaws. String slips in gripper. - Clean gripper jaws. - Make sure string is wrapped over top jaw of gripper prior to inserting between gripper jaws.
