  • Page 7: Mounting The Frame

    MOUNTING THE FRAME Adjusting the Frame Support Posts 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.
  • Page 8 MOUNTING THE FRAME Securing the Frame Shoulder 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.
  • Page 9: Stringing The Frame

    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.

  • Page 13: Pathfinder Awl

    PATHFINDER AWL The machine includes the pathfinder string- ing awl which creates a pathway between or around strings to make inserting a string through blocked 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.
  • Page 14 Most tension calibrators (such as a Gamma Tension Calibrator) function by clamping off the string attached to one the end of the calibrator and applying tension to the string located on the opposite end of the calibrator. The tension measured by the calibrator will then display the tension being applied to the calibrator by the machine.
  • Page 15: Maintenance & Adjustments

    MAINTENANCE & 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.
