ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Winder Support Stand Installation
Remove the M5 bolts from the 2 brackets
located in the rear slots of the machine base
using the 5MM hex key. Slide the brackets to
the right end of the base and position the
winder stand over the brackets aligning the
holes in the base of the winder stand with
the holes in the brackets. Attach the winder
support stand using the M5 bolts. Install all 4
bolts loosely at first and then tighten all
securely.
Engaging the Drop Weight Bar Stop
The stringing machine is shipped with the
drop weight bar in the horizontal position. To
limit the rotation of the drop weight bar and
prevent racquet damage during stringing,
the bar stop must be engaged.
Hold the drop weight bar in the vertical
position as shown while turning the 5mm
stop screw located on the back side of the
winder stand clockwise.
Installing the Drop Weight
Remove the endcap from the tension bar and
slide the drop weight onto the bar. The
weight should be oriented with the knob end
closest to the string winder. Replace the end
cap.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
String Clamp Installation
The post of the string clamp 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
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. Securely
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.
