String tensioning 

Once the racket has been properly installed and the clamps adjusted, refer to the stringing 

recommendations  of  the  racket  manufacturer  and  enter  the  tension  value  of  the  string 

(

TENSION

) on the control panel. 

¾

To  tension  the  string,  pass  it  around  the 

diabolo  and  then  close  the  pulling  unit  by 

pulling  the  string  towards  you  while  lightly 

touching the "start cycle" button. 

¾

When  the  required  tension  is reached, close 

the 3-tooth clamp and lock the clamp-holder 

so  as  to  hold  the  string  firm.  Lightly  touch 

the  "cycle  start"  button  again.  The  traction 

head will return to its initial position and the 

pulling  unit  will  open  up  and  release  the 

string. 

When  the  traction  head  arrives  at  its  end  of 

travel  without  the  tension  being  reached,  the 

buzzer goes off to indicate that the tension is not 

correct. 

To  obtain  the  additional  tension  (

KNOT

),  press 

the "SHIFT" key when the string is tensioned. 

Clamp-holding system 

With the clamp-holder you can easily position the 

3-tooth  clamp  at  any  point  on  the  racket  by 

sliding it over the elliptic turntable. 

¾

In  order  to  keep  the  string  pulled,  you 

should: 

-  slide the clamp-holder over the turntable to 

position it under the string that you wish to 

keep pulled, 

-  tighten the string using the locking lever of 

the 3-tooth clamp (

1

), 

-  lock  the  clamp-holder  on  the  turntable  by 

activating the locking knob (

2

). 

BE CAREFUL:

 

use very little force on the knob 

as the materials used provide a 

very high locking capacity. 

¾

To  unlock  the  clamp-holder,  loosen  the 

clamp-holder  locking  knob,  raise  the  clamp 

locking  lever  and  move  the  clamp-holder 

away.
