Adjusting the Tensioner Brake
Step 1
After stringing many racquets, the brake of
the tensioner may need to be adjusted. The
Brake Adjustment Bolt can be accessed
through the hole in the face of the tensioner
cover, which does not need to be removed
for adjustment. The Tensioner Cover has
been removed in the pictures for illustration
purposes.
Step 2
With the brake lever engaged, loosen the
lower hex bolt located on the back side of the
tensioner frame with the 4 mm allen wrench.
Note: The hex bolt should only be loosened
until loose enough to turned by hand and
must not be removed completely.

Step 3
With the hex bolt loosened and the brake
lever engaged in the latch, insert the 6 mm
hex wrench into the set screw locted inside
the nut located at the base of the brake lever.
To tighten the braking mechanism, turn the
set screw counter clockwise by about 1/8
turn. Re-tighten the hex bolt on the back side
of the tensioner frame and check for brake
tightness. The tensioner should move freely
along the track with the brake lever engaged
and should hold tension with the brake lever
released. If more adjustment is needed,
repeat steps above until properly adjusted.
