    Once you start to turn the crank it'll tighten the gripper.

    Hi guys, after a decade of stringing with a 2-point drop weight machine, I bought a (used) Pro's Pro Pilot. I did this because of the demand in tension of the players of my friends and club players in the area. After borrowing my trainers machine with the similar mechanism, I decided to buy one myself. From all the images I see from stores and retailers is that the lever used for the pulling mechanism is on the "front side". 700_A04.jpg
    This one has it's lever placed on the "backside" IMG-20150228-WA0000.jpg .
    My question now is: how can I put the lever safely "back" on the "front side"? It seems that a few people has this setup, but I can't seem to find some kind of "how-to" about this particular topic. Can anyone help me out here? I have been used to the "racket left, weight/pulling mechanism right" for all the time now and if there is a fix to keep it that way I would like to take it. Thanks in forward

    That simple? Gotta try it when I get home. That takes away one of my worries then :)
    Second is finding the tools to remove the stationary clamps and start calibrating ^^
    Thanks in forward and I'll keep you updated

    Calibrating should be easy, unlock the locking screw and turn the tension screw counter clockwise to increase tension and clockwise for opposite, make have turn adjustments!

    I pretty much forgot this, but everything worked out fine. Needed some time to getting used to the new machine, but in combination with a pair of mini flying clamps I think it's a great combo :)
