Gamma 5003 Owner's Manual - Stringing The Frame

STRINGING THE FRAME

Pulling Tension

Wrap  the loose section of string once

around the roller guide and insert the string

between the  diamoind dust coated string

gripper plates. Pull the string perpendicular

to the gripper plates while slowly rotating the

tensioner crank clockwise until the brake

lever pops out of the latching block. The

string is now tensioned and can be clamped

in place with the remaining fixed clamp.

Repeat the above steps until all main strings

are installed. Tie off ends of main strings as

per racquet manufacturers recommenda-

tions.

Clamping the First Main String

To begin stringing the main strings, thread

the two ends of the string through the two

center holes at the appropriate end of the

frame and continue through the opposite

center holes. Thread one end of the string

through the adjacent grommet hole and pull

excess by hand.

Secure one of the strings using a string

clamp.

Clamp Base Operation

Rotate the Base Locking Lever clockwise to

secure the clamp base to the turntable.

Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock

the string clamp. The Locking Lever is spring

loaded to assist the unlocking of the clamp

base.

The Locking Lever should be tightened

enough to prevent clamp base slippage on

the turntable, when the desired tension is

placed on the string. To go from the loose

position to the clamped position and back, generally requires the rotation permitted by the slot

in the clamp base. If the rotation is not sufficient to allow smooth operation, adjust the Clamp

Base Locking Nut as outlined on pg 11.

Note: If the string slips in the string clamp while tensioning, adjust the gap between the clamp

jaws as per the following instructions.
