Pulling Tension
To apply tension, wrap the string being
tensioned clockwise 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 to ensure that the proper tension is
applied to the string.
Pull the string until all slack is removed before
pressing the tension lever switch.
STRINGING THE FRAME
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.
WARNING: KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM ROLLER
GUIDE WHILE TENSIONING STRING. TO RELEASE
TENSION BEING APPLIED TO THE STRING PRESS THE
PUSH TENSION LEVER SWITCH OR ANY BUTTON ON
THE KEYPAD IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
To apply tension to a string, press the
tension lever switch or the foot pedal
switch. The string gripper will move to the
right, away from the racquet, and gradually
apply tension to the string. When the set
tension has been attained, the gripper will
stop moving. As the tensioned string re-
laxes, the gripper will continue to pull inter-
mittently, to maintain the set tension.
To release the string after clamping, press
the tension lever switch or foot pedal switch.
If the string gripper does not release the string, push the gripper plates to the right to help
disengage and release the string from the gripper.
