MAINTENANCE and 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. - Page 14 MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS Tension Calibration Procedure Step 1 Set the tension to 60 lbs. as indicated by the linear scale and rotary knob. Place the string on one end of a tension calibrator into a string clamp and secure. Place string lo- cated on the other end of the calibrator into the string tensioner and apply tension.

With the brake lever engaged, loosen the lock bolt located on the back side of the tensioner frame with the 4mm hex wrench. Note: The lock bolt should only be loosened enough to be turned by hand and must not be removed completely.
