MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS

Clamp Base Locking Nut Adjustment

In  the event the Locking Lever rotation is

insufficient  to ensure smooth operation of

the clamp base, very minor adjustments to

the Clamp Base Locking Nut can be made

with the supplied 17mm wrench. Tighten or

loosen the locking nut in very small incre-

ments to provide more clamping pressure or

running clearance as needed.

Turntable Bushing Adjustment

The  Progression ESII+ is adjusted at the

factory for optimum performance. After time

and use, the turntable bushings may need

minor  adjustment. An adjustment is indi-

cated when noticeable turntable looseness

or wobble occurs while stringing.
To adjust the fit between the turntable pin

and the bushings, tighten the set screw at

the  top of the bushing using a 3mm hex

wrench. Tighten until the turntable rotates

smoothly without excessive free play.

Adjusting the  Clamp Jaws

The 

Quick Action

  Clamps will need

minor adjustments according to what string

type, construction, and gauge you are using.
To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) be-

tween  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 compress-

ing the clamp jaws together by hand while

turning the Adjustment Knob, in the clock-

wise direction. If the clamp leaves impres-

sions or damages the string, it may be excessively tight and should be adjusted by turning the

hex screw counter clockwise to open the gap between the jaws. The clamp jaws should be

cleaned periodically to be free from dirt, oil, and any string coating for them to grip properly.

Note

: The string clamps supplied with your  stringing machine can accomodate tight string

patterns such as badminton. Depending on the string pattern, the clamp may spread the

strings slightly which will not compromise the quality of the string job.
