ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Engaging the Drop Weight Bar Stop

The stringing machine is shipped with the
drop weight bar in the horizontal position.
T o prevent racquet damage during stringing,
the bar stop must be engaged.

Remove the machine base from the shipping
carton being careful to avoid lifting by the
plastic cover.

Hold the drop weight bar in the vertical posi­tion as shown while turning the stop screw
clockwise with the supplied 5mm hex wrench.

String Clamp Installation

The post of the string clamp head and tube of
the string clamp base are treated with grease
to provide protection against corrosion during
shipping. Remove any excessive grease with
a clean cloth prior to use. The post and tube
may also be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.
After this type of thorough cleaning, the post
and tube should be treated with a light coating
of machine oil to protect the surfaces against
corrosion and to ensure smooth operation.

MOUNTING THE FRAME

Adjusting the Frame Support Posts

Place the racquet frame over the center
posts and onto the frame support. Loosen the
lever lock bolt on one support post. Slide the
post outward until the center support of the
racquet support slide is positioned near the
inside surface of the racquet frame. Securely
tighten the lever lock bolt.

Adjust the opposite post using the same
procedure.

Caution: To avoid racquet damage, the
center posts should not contact the racquet
prior to fi xing the support posts.
