Frame Mounting and tensioning the string
Step 1:
Insert the
angled frame
supports (9)
into the appropriate
slots located on the end of the
side
support arms (8)
. The two slots are
designed to accommodate most
racquets.
Step 2:
Place the racquet on the
machine. The 12 and 6 o’clock
frame supports (11)
should be on
the inside of the frame. The
angled
frame supports (9)
should be on the
outside. Tighten the 12 and 6
o’clock
frame supports
(11)
until
they are just touching the frame.
Then tighten the
angled frame
supports (9)
until they are firm
(finger tight). Go back to the 12 and
6 o’clock
frame supports (11)
and
tighten them to finger tight also.
The fit should be snug, but use
caution. NOTE: Over-tightening can
cause stress on the frame.
Step 3:
This manual does not explain how
to string a racquet, simply how to
use the machine. With the
tension
bar (6)
upright, place the string in
the
linear string gripper (2)
. Using
your finger, press the internal string
gripper back to grab the string.
Step 4:
Use your hand to let the
tension bar (6)
drop down allowing
gravity to take over which applies
tension to the string. The tension
will be correct when the bar is
parallel with the ground (perfectly
horizontal / level).
