STRINGING THE FRAME
Weaving the Cross Strings
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
fi
nal cross string is tensioned and
clamped, tie off at the appropriate hole speci-
fi
ed by the racquet manufacturer.

Fixed Clamp Operation
The
fi
xed clamps are of a dual action design.
The string clamp and the clamp base operate
independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and
place the string between the jaws. Depress
the clamp head lever to secure the string.
The clamping pressure applied to the string
should be adjusted to provide suf
fi
cient pres-
sure to secure the string when subjected to
the desired pulling tension.
The diamond coated gripper plates provide
for increased friction between the clamps and the string to allow for reduced clamping pres-
sure while securing and holding the string under tension.
Note:
If the string slips in the string clamp while tensioning, adjust the gap between the clamp
jaws as per the instructions on page 12.
STRINGING THE FRAME
The drop weight is of a two piece design.
When assembled, it will accommodate ten-
sions from 20 to 90 lbs. For tensions from 8
to 20 lbs., remove the 5mm bolt on the face of
the drop weight, and use the smaller portion
of the weight as described above.
Note:
Tensions above 77lbs. require removal
of the drop weight bar end cap.
Setting Tension
To set the stringing tension, loosen the
locking knob on the side of the drop weight.
Slide the weight in the appropriate direction
until the face
closest
to the string gripper is
indexed with the desired tension mark on
the tension bar.
