MOUNTING THE FRAME
Support Slide Adjustment
Once the frame support posts are secured,
lightly tighten the support slides by turning
the knobs on the outside of the slides clock-
wise. Adjust the slides in equal increments
until slight resistance is felt.
Apply a final adjustment to all racquet sup-
port points until the racquet is firmly secured
in the mounting system.
Should the frame supports lose contact with
the frame while stringing, they should be
adjusted, as needed, to maintain contact with
the frame.
Setting Tension
The 7000 ES stringing machine utilizes a
rotary adjusting knob along with a digital
L.E.D. display to indicate the set tension. To
set the tension, rotate the adjustment knob
clockwise to decrease the displayed ten-
sion, counter-clockwise to increase the dis-
played tension, until the desired tension is
displayed on the digital display.
Setting Tensioner Speed
To maintain consistency in stringing tension
for all types of strings, the 7000 Es can be
set to pull at a fast or slow tensioning speed.
When pulled at high speed, stiff Aramid fiber
and Metallic strings will generally string up
4-5 lbs tighter on the 7000Es than synthetic
or natural gut strings. Therefore, when string-
ing with Aramid (Kevlar, Technora) hybrid
strings or metallic strings, the tensioner
speed switch, located on the side panel,
should be set to the slow pull position.
This decreases the motor speed by one half
which results in more accurate and consistent tensioning when using the stiffer aramid or
metallic strings.
