    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.

    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.
