STRINGING THE FRAME
WARNING:
TO AVOID INJURY, KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM GRIP-
PER JAWS WHILE TENSIONING STRING.
Gripping the String
While holding the tension bar slightly above horizontal,
wrap the free string clockwise around the gripper drum
once and position between the gripper jaw.
Gently turn the gripper clockwise while squeezing the
jaws together until all slack in the string is removed.
Note: For proper operation, the string gripper jaw must
be in the position shown. The tension in the string
provides the clamping force to the jaws.
Pulling Tension
While securely holding the string gripper drum with your
hand, lift the tension bar above horizontal and gently
lower the bar under its own weight. If the tension bar
drops below horizontal, repeat the above action until the
bar comes to rest parallel to the racquet.
When the correct tension is attained, the drop weight bar
will rest horizontally as shown. For accurate tensioning,
it must be lowered and come to rest at horizontal without
assistance. Manually forcing the tension bar to the
horizontal position will greatly increase the string ten-
sion and may result in racquet damage.
If the tension bar comes to rest above horizontal, release
the string by lifting the bar and re-pull the string.
