MOUNTING THE FRAME

Adjusting the Frame Support Posts

Loosen the lock bolts of the frame support
posts and space them apart with the frame
support slides separated by the approximate
length of the racquet head. Although it is not
required, it is good practice to center the
support posts on the turntable. Lock one of
the posts in position by tightening the lock
bolt and position the other post until the
frame support slide is positioned near the
inside surface of the racquet frame. Se-
curely tighten the lock bolt of the second
support post.

Caution

: To avoid racquet damage, the

center posts should not contact the racquet
prior to locking down the support posts.

Tightening the Frame Supports

Tighten the Frame Support Slides by turning
the adjustment knob clockwise until snug
against the racquet frame and slight resis-
tance is felt.

Caution

: Overtightening the Center Sup-

ports will stretch the head of the racquet and
could cause racquet damage.

Frame Shoulder Support Adjustment

Being sure the shoulder supports are free to
swivel in their mountings, simultaneously
rotate the shoulder support adjustment knobs
clockwise until both shoulder supports gen-
tly and squarely contact the frame.
