STRINGING THE FRAME

WARNING:
GUIDE WHILE TENSIONING STRING. PUSH GRIPPER
REVERSING SWITCH IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM ROLLER
Getting Started
To begin stringing the main strings, thread
the two ends of the string through the two
center holes at the appropriate end of the
frame and continue through the opposite
center holes. Thread one end of the string
through the adjacent grommet hole and pull
excess by hand.
Secure one of the strings using a string
clamp.
Pulling Tension
To pull tension, wrap the free string clock-
wise around the roller guide and position the
string between the gripper jaws.
The string must pass over the roller guide
before being placed between the gripper
jaws.
Gently pull the string until all slack is re-
moved.
To tension a string, push the tension button or
the foot pedal. The string gripper will move
away from the racquet and slowly apply ten-
sion to the string. When the set tension has
been attained, the gripper will stop moving. As
the tensioned string stretches, the gripper
may move intermittently, maintaining the set
tension.
To release the string after clamping, push the
tension button or foot pedal. If the string grip-
per does not release the string, pull the grip-
pers back away from the racquet to help re-
lease the string.
