5. Tighten the pedal stop locking nut.

The forward movement of the drive pedal must not be restricted by the end position of the transmission, otherwise serious damage may arise.

6.Then adjust the pedal stop under the rear part of the drive pedal. The backward movement of the drive pedal should be about half the forward move- ment.

STEERING CABLES (Classic - President)

After the machine has been in operation for a few hours the steering cables should be adjusted.

Put the machine in the straight ahead position.

Tension the steering cables by tightening up the nuts at T. The screws in the ends of the cables should be held firmly during adjustment. Use an adjustable wrench or similar for the purpose, in- serting it in the key handles in the ends of the screws (fig 28).

Adjust both cables so that the distance between the pulley at U and the chain is the same on both sides of the machine.

Tension the cables until they are no longer slack.

Once adjustment is complete, turn the steering wheel as far as it will go in either direction. Check that the chain does not come in contact with the pulley, and that the cables do not become entan- gled with the steering pinions.

ADJUSTING STEERING CHAIN (Pro16 - Pro18)

The steering chain must be adjusted after every 50 hours of use.

Put the machine in a "straight on" position.

Tension the steering chain by tightening the nuts T (fig 33). Adjust until all play is removed.

Do not over-tighten the steering chain. This will cause the steering to become heavy and increase wear on the steering chain.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE

Classic:

Adjust the brake cable on the cable adjusters V so that the brake arm is about 1 mm from the stop when the brake pedal is in the released position (figs 24 and 29 - 30).

Slacken the lock nut and screw in the adjusting nut X (fig 30). Tighten the lock nut.

President:

Adjust the brake cable to allow about 10 mm play in the brake pedal. Adjust the play by means of the cable adjusters Y (figs 25 and 31).

After adjustment, make sure the clutch is always activated before the brake.

If it is not, adjust the separate clutch cable W (fig 25).

Pro16-Pro18:

Adjust the combined brake/clutch cable to allow about 10 mm play in the brake pedal. Adjust the play by means of the cable adjusters Y (fig 26).

When adjusting, make sure the cable's clutch function is always actived before the brake function.

Then adjust the brake drum with the help of the ad- justing nut Z (fig 32).

Do not adjust the brake so hard that it 'locks' when the brake pedal is not pressed and while the ma- chine is in operation.

This technology not only enhances ball feel but also improves the racket's stability during intense rallies. Additionally, they come equipped with Stiga's proprietary “Hyper Bounce” technology, ensuring that players experience consistent rebound characteristics, enabling them to execute precise strokes without compromising power.

Another defining characteristic of the Stiga PRO 16 and PRO 18 is their ergonomic handle design. Both blades feature a well-shaped handle that fits comfortably in hand, allowing for extended playing periods without fatigue. Players can personalize their experience further by choosing between different handle types, such as the Straight, Flared, or Concave designs.

Moreover, both blades are compatible with a wide range of rubber surfaces, granting players the freedom to customize their setup according to their unique preferences. The combination of these features results in blades that not only cater to advanced techniques but also enhance overall playing experience.

In conclusion, the Stiga PRO 16 and PRO 18 represent the pinnacle of table tennis technology.
