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.
