  • Page 4: Assembly Instructions

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Machine Base Setup Remove all parts from the shipping cartons. Set the base with attached tensioner bar onto a table or floor. When purchased with the optional floor stand, it is more convenient to attach the base to the floor stand at this point.
  • Page 5 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Frame Support Posts The Progression ST support post assem- blies are precision aligned at the factory and are marked for proper installation on the turntable. Install the support post with the dot on its base to an identical dot on the turntable. Align the threaded hole in the bottom of the frame support post with the slot in the turntable.
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Locking the Turntable The turntable may be locked in any position. The turntable winged lock knob is packed separately in the accessory polybag. Install the lock knob into the threaded hole located on the side of the tensioner bar post. Rotate the knob clockwise to lock the turn- table, and counter-clockwise to release the turntable.
  • Page 7: Mounting The Frame

    MOUNTING THE FRAME Adjusting the Frame Support Posts Place the racquet frame over the center posts and onto the frame support. Loosen the lever lock bolt on one support post. Slide the post outward until the center support of the racquet support slide is positioned near the inside surface of the racquet frame.

    Fixed Clamp Operation - Step 1 The fixed clamps for the Progression ST are of a dual action design. The string clamp and the clamp base operate independently of one another.
  • Page 9 STRINGING THE FRAME Fixed Clamp Operation - Step 2 Rotate the winged lock knob clockwise to secure the clamp base to the turntable. Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock the string clamp. The winged lock knob should be tightened enough to prevent clamp base slippage on the turntable, when the desired tension is placed on the string.
  • Page 10 STRINGING THE FRAME Weaving the Cross Strings Weave the cross strings over and under the main strings being careful to alternate the weave direction of each consecutive cross string so as to be opposite of the previously installed cross string. Once the final cross string is tensioned and clamped, tie off at the appropriate hole speci- fied by the racquet manufacturer.

    MAINTENANCE Tension Calibration Procedure - Step 1 Set the tension to 60 lbs. as indicated by the linear scale and rotary knob. Place the string on one end of a tension calibrator into a string clamp and secure. Place string located on the other end of the calibrator into the string tensioner and apply tension.
  • Page 12 Replace the screw and spring to re-assemble the clamps. Note: The string clamps supplied with your Gamma stringing machine can accomodate tight string patterns such as badminton. Depending on the string pattern, the clamp may spread the strings slightly which will not compromise the quality of the string job.
  • Page 13 MAINTENANCE Adjusting the Tensioner Brake - Step 1 After stringing many racquets, the brake of the tensioner may need to be adjusted. To tighten the braking mechanism, the cover of the tensioner must be removed. To remove the cover, remove the 2 button head screws located on the back side of the tensioner frame near the top of the frame, and the flat head screw located behind the tensioner...
  • Page 14: Pathfinder Awl

    PATHFINDER AWL The Progression ST includes the new Path- finder stringing awl which creates a pathway between or around strings to make inserting a string through tight gromets easier and quicker. Insert the awl through the grommet hole in the same manner as for traditional awls. The Pathfinder awl must be in the closed position before insertion.
