Pulling Tension
Wrap the loose section of string once around the roller
and insert the string between the diamoind 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 fixed clamp.
Repeat the above steps until all main strings are in-
stalled. Tie off ends of main strings as per racquet
manufacturers recommendations.
Weave the cross strings over and under the main strings
being careful to alternate the weave direction of each
consecutive cross string so as to be opposite of the
previously installed cross string.
Once the final cross string is tensioned and clamped, tie
off at the appropriate hole specified by the racquet
manufacturer.
Clamping the First Main String
To begin stringing the main strings, thread the two ends
of the string through the two center holes at the appro-
priate end of the frame and continue through the oppo-
site 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.
Pull the remaining end of the string with the tensioner to
the desired tension. Secure the string with the remain-
ing clamp.
