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.
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. PUSH GRIPPER
REVERSING SWITCH IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
To tension a string, push the tension button
or the foot pedal. The string gripper will
move away from the racquet and slowly
apply tension to the string. When the set
tension has been attained, the gripper will
stop moving. As the tensioned string
stretches, the gripper may move intermit-
tently, maintaining the set tension.
To release the string after clamping, push
the tension button or foot pedal. If the string
gripper does not release the string, pull the
grippers back away from the racquet to
help release the string.
