Adjusting the Clamp Base
In the event the Locking Lever rotation is
insuff cient to ensure smooth operation of
the Clamp Base, very minor adjustments to
the Clamp Base Locking Nut can be made
with a 17mm socket. Tighten or loosen
the locking nut in very small increments to
provide more clamping pressure or running
clearance as needed.
MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Quick Action Clamp Base Removal
Quick Action Clamp Bases can be removed
from the Turntable for maintenance or clean-
ing by removing the Clamp Stop located at the
end of the slot in the
Turntable. To remove the
Clamp Stop, remove the two screws holding
the Clamp Stop in place from the underside of
the Turntable. Lift the Clamp Stop out of the
slot, slide the Clamp Base to the end of the
slot and lift it out. Replace the Clamp Base
and clamp stop in reverse order.
Adjusting String Clamp Jaw Spacing
The String Clamps will need minor adjust-
ments according to what string type, construc-
tion, and gauge you are using. To adjust the
gap (clamping pressure) between the clamp
jaws, insert the string through the racquet
as if you were beginning the main strings.
Clamp the strings and pull tension. If the
string slips through the jaws of the clamp,
tighten the clamp by turning the Adjustment
Knob, in the clockwise direction. If the clamp
leaves impressions in the string, it may be
excessively tight and should be adjusted by
turning the Adjustment Knob counter clock-
wise to increase the gap between the jaws.
NOTE: Due to the bearings used in the clamp lever the action of the clamp lever is very
light making it easy to apply excessive clamping pressure. Clamps that are set too tight
can damage the string as well as the string clamp jaws.
The clamp jaws should be cleaned periodically to be free from dirt, oil, and any residual string
coating for them to grip properly. The cleaning stone supplied with the machine is excellent
for removing build-up on the diamond coated surfaces. Rub the gripping surfaces with the
cleaning stone and remove any residual dust with a brush or cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
