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.
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 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.
