Gamma 8800 Els Owner's Manual - Mounting The Frame

String Clamp Operation
The String Clamps are a dual action design
where the String Clamp and Clamp Base
operate independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the String Clamp and
place the string between the jaws and de-
press the String Clamp Lever to secure the
string. The clamping pressure applied to the
string should be adjusted to provide suff cient
pressure to secure the string when subjected
to the desired pulling tension (see page 26).
The diamond coated gripper plates provide
for increased friction between the clamps and
the string to allow for reduced clamping pressure while securing and holding the string under
tension. Note that excessive pressure can damage both the strings and String Clamp.
MOUNTING THE FRAME
Securing the Frame Shoulder Clamps
Lock the Shoulder Supports in position by
turning the knob at the base clockwise.
Repeat the adjustment procedure for the
remaining support post.
Re-tighten all of the Frame Supports in the
same order as before.
Do not overtighten any of the supports as
racquet damage may occur.
The supports should be tightened to the point
where the racquet frame will not move in the
mounting system when the handle is grasped and attempts are made to move it. Should any
supports lose contact with the frame while stringing, they should be re-tightened.
STRINGING THE FRAME
Clamp Base Operation
To lock the String Clamp Base to the Turn-
table, rotate the Clamp Base locking lever
clockwise. To release the String Clamp Base
from the Turntable, rotate the clamp base
locking lever counter-clockwise.
The locking lever should be tightened
enough to prevent Clamp Base slippage on
the Turntable, when the desired tension is
placed on the string.
