WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY, KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM
GRIPPER JAWS WHILE TENSIONING STRING.
STRINGING THE FRAME
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: Note:
Note: For proper operation, the string grip- Note: Note:
per 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 assis-
tance. Manually forcing the tension bar to the
horizontal position will greatly increase the
string tension and may result in racquet
damage.
If the tension bar comes to rest above hori-
zontal, release the string by lifting the bar
and re-pull the string.
