Page 10: Stringing The Frame
STRINGING THE FRAME Clamp Base Operation To lock the string clamp base to the turntable, 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 turn- table when the desired tension is placed on the string. - Page 11 STRINGING THE FRAME Setting the Gripper Jaw Spacing The gripper jaws of the tensioner are adjust- able to accommodate varying string gauges. If the string slips through the gripper jaws while pulling tension, rotate the gripper jaw adjustment screw counter-clockwise. If the string is damaged while pulling tension, rotate the gripper jaw adjustment screw clockwise.

Thread one end of the string through the adjacent grommet hole and pull excess by hand.

MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT Tension Calibration Procedure Set the tension to 60 lbs. as indicated by the linear scale and rotary knob.

Place string located on the other end of the calibrator into the string tensioner and apply tension. - Page 17 It can be accessed through the hole on the face of the tensioner cover (above the ‘GAMMA’ logo). Note: The tensioner cover does not need to be removed for the adjustment. The cover has been removed in the pictures for illustra- tion purposes.
- Page 18 MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT Adjusting the String Clamp Jaw Spacing The string clamps will need minor adjust- ments according to what string type, con- struction, and gauge you are using. To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) between the clamp jaws, insert the string through the racquet as if you were beginning the main strings.

Page 19: Troubleshooting Tips
2pt Hold Down Clamp Adjustment The 2pt hold down clamps have been ad- justed at the factory. However, depending on the racquet frame thickness, the hold down clamp may require adjustment. Use a 3 mm hex wrench and turn the set screw clockwise to reduce the hold down clamp pressure and counter clockwise to increase the hold down clamp pressure. -

Questions and answers
My gamma 5003 tensioner heads circle thing has come loose and the handle is protruding to far on the crank side therefore the bar that turns the circle thing isn’t in the circle thing. How do I fix it?
To fix a loose tensioner head on a Gamma 5003:
1. Check the Tensioner Installation: Ensure the tensioner is properly mounted on the bar. Remove and reinstall it by sliding it along the bar, aligning it with all bearings and the drive gear with the gear track. Secure it with the button head screw and washer using a 3 mm hex wrench.
2. Inspect the Rollers: The tensioner should have two rollers on top and one on the bottom. If the bottom roller is missing or misaligned, the crank may feel wobbly. Replace or correctly position the rollers if needed.
3. Check the Brake Mechanism: A loose crank may be due to issues with the brake. Inspect and adjust the brake to ensure it engages properly.
4. Adjust Gripper Jaw Spacing: If the string slips or gets damaged, adjust the gripper jaw screw—counter-clockwise if slipping, clockwise if damaging.
These steps should help stabilize the tensioner and correct tension inaccuracies.
