Gamma 9900 Els Owner's Manual - Stringing The Frame
21
Insert the string between the Auto-Start Grip-
per Plates and apply tension to the string.
Pull the string towards you at a slight angle to
engage the sensor in the front of the gripper
to automatically tension the string. As the grip-
per plates slide to the left, they close and will
grip the string. The Gripper will move to the
right, away from the racquet, and gradually
apply tension to the string. To release the
tension on the string depress the tension
release lever at the rear of the gripper or
use the Foot Pedal switch.
For adjustment of the parallel plates, see “Setting the Gripper Plate Spacing” on page 27.
Stringing the Mains
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended
stringing pattern for one or two piece
stringing.
To determine which end of the racquet to
start installing the string count the number of
grommet holes located in the throat bridge.
If there are 2 or 6 holes start main strings
at the center 2 holes of the throat bridge. If
there are 4 or 8 holes start the main strings
at the center 2 holes at the tip of the racquet.
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 ad-
jacent grommet hole and pull excess by hand. Secure one of the strings using a string clamp.
STRINGING THE FRAME
Pulling Tension
Remove excessive slack in the string before
applying tension. To apply tension to the main
string, wrap the string clockwise around the
String Guide to ensure that the proper tension
will be applied to the string.
CAUTION:
NEVER TENSION A STRING WITH YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN
THE STRING AND THE STRING GUIDE AS SERIOUS INJURY COULD RE-
SULT IF YOUR FINGER IS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE STRING AND STRING
GUIDE DURING TENSIONING.
PUSH ANY BUTTON TO RELEASE
TENSION.
