MOUNTING THE FRAME
Securing the Shoulder Supports
To secure the racquet frame with the
shoulder supports, rotate the large adjust-
ment knobs on the outside of the mounting
stands clockwise to bring the mounting
arms together. Adjust until firm contact is
made between the shoulder supports and
the frame. Re-adjust the stand position
as needed to ensure that the frame sup-
ports are in firm contact with the racquet
at 6 and 12 o’clock. Do not over tighten
any of the supports as racquet deforma-
tion may occur. The supports should be
tightened to the point where the racquet frame will not move in the mounting sys-
tem when the handle is grasped and attempts are made to move it. Should any
supports lose contact with the frame while stringing, they should be re-tightened.
STRINGING THE FRAME
String Clamp Operation
The string clamps are a dual action design
where the string clamp and clamp base oper-
ate independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and
place the string between the jaws and depress
the string clamp lever to secure the string.
The clamping pressure applied to the string
should be adjusted as needed (see Page 23)
to provide sufficient pressure to secure the
string when subjected to the desired pulling
tension. The diamond coated gripper plates
provide for increased friction between the
clamps and the string to allow for reduced
clamping pressure while securing and holding the string under tension.
Clamp Base Operation
To lock the string clamp base to the turntable,
rotate the clamp base locking lever clockwise.
To release the string clamp base from the
turntable, rotate the clamp base locking lever
counter-clockwise.
