STRINGING THE FRAME
Clamping the First Main String
Thread one end of the string through the
adjacent grommet hole and pull excess by
hand. Clamp both the center and the adjacent
string to each other on the inside of the frame.
Pulling Tension
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: For proper operation, the string grip-
per jaw must be in the position shown. The
tension in the string provides the clamping
force to the jaws.
While holding the string gripper drum with
your hand, lift the tension bar to approxmately
45 degree angle and let fall. If the tension
bar drops below horizontal, repeat the above
action until the bar comes to rest parallel to
the racquet. The set tension will be reached
when the bar rests horizontal.
If the bar comes to rest above horizontal,
release the string and re-pull tension.
Manually forcing the bar into the horizontal
position will greatly increase string tension
and may result in racquet damage.
