RACKETS
:
• Tighten one side slightly
so that cam
cover closes with light pressure—and
without moving the tower. Do not
overtighten.
Close cover.
• Go to opposite side,
tighten screw
slightly, close cover.
• Tighten each side as evenly as
possible
—a few turns on one tower,
then a few on the other. Open and
close cam covers with each
adjustment.
• Tighten until the covers close
firmly
—with some resistance.
This needs to be done gradually
to prevent the towers from
moving off center.
