Travel Stop
Tensioner Travel Stop
To prevent contact between the tension
head and the racquet and/or turntable, a
travel stop is located about midpoint along
the tensioner bar below the gear track. In
the event the tension head must be moved
closer to the racquet, pull and turn the travel
stop 90 degrees. To re-engage the travel
stop, simply pull and turn the travel stop
90 degrees.
Pulling Tension
Wrap the loose section of string once around
the roller and insert the string between the
diamond dust coated string gripper plates.
Pull the string perpendicular to the gripper
plates while slowly rotating the tensioner
crank clockwise until the brake lever pops
out of the latching block. The string is now
tensioned and can be clamped in place with
the remaining fi xed clamp.
Repeat the above steps until all main strings
are installed. Tie off ends of main strings
as per racquet manufacturers recommen-
dations.
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.
Handy tip: The tear drop shaped holes
towards the back of the shoulder supports
are handy for holding the loose end of the string while tensioning the string. Simply insert the
loose end into the tear drop shaped holes and slide the string toward the point of the hole.
