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.
STRINGING THE FRAME Clamp Head Operation “Quick Action” Clamps are of a dual action design where as the clamp head 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 clamp head lever to secure the string.

STRINGING THE FRAME 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 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.

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.
PATHFINDER AWL The Progression ESII+ includes the Path- finder 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. The Pathfinder awl must be in the closed position before insertion.
MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting the Clamp Jaws “Quick Action” Clamps will need minor adjustments according to what string type, construction, and gauge you are using. To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) be- tween the clamp jaws, insert the string through the racquet as if you were beginning the main strings.

MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS Tension Calibration Procedure If you suspect that your Progression ESII+ is not pulling the correct tension, you should check the Low LBs 6 . 0 tension with a Tension Calibrator which provides Low KGs a measurement of the actual pulling tension being applied by the machine.
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.
