    The Mounting System Carton has the turntable, clamps and mounting system. Please save the cartons and packing materi- als for possible shipments in the future. Gamma Sports cannot be responsible for machines that are not returned, shipped in their original, undamaged packaging. The tools you will need to assemble the machine are provided with the machine.

  • Page 5: Assembly Instructions

    The stringing machine uses a four leg base design. The legs must be assembled to the lower column support before use. This is the larger of the two posts with the GAMMA label. Note: For illustration purposes, the support column has been painted white for these instructions.
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Bellows Installation The bellows assembly is supplied in two pieces and should be assembled as follows. Place the bellows section with the flange over the upper support column with the flange on the top. Place the remaining bellows over the upper support column and mate it with the flange on the lower bellows.
  • Page 7 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Turntable and Mounting System Installation To install the turntable remove the four nuts holding the mounting bolts in place during shipment. Position the turntable over the turntable pin and align the bolts with the holes in the flange. Secure them with the included allen wrench.

  • Page 8: Mounting The Frame

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Height Adjustment The turntable height can be adjusted to suit the stringer. To adjust, loosen the two set screws on the lower column support post below the bellows assembly. Adjust the amount of engagement between the upper and lower column supports until the desired height is attained.
  • Page 9 MOUNTING THE FRAME Adjusting the Frame Shoulder Sup- ports Being sure the shoulder supports are free to swivel in their mountings, simultaneously rotate the shoulder support adjustment knobs clockwise until both shoulder supports gently and squarely contact the frame. Securing the Frame Lock the shoulder supports in position by turning the knob at the base clockwise.

  • 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 Tension The tensioner utilizes a rotary adjusting knob along with a linear tension scale to indicate the tension setting. The scale is divided into 3 lb. increments and each 1/3 turn of the ten- sion knob changes tension by 1 lb. To set the desired tension, rotate the tension knob and align the mark on the spring guide with the desired tension setting on the scale.

  • Page 12: Additional Features

    STRINGING THE FRAME Pulling Tension Wrap the loose section of string once around the roller guide and insert the string between the diamond 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.

  • Page 13: Pathfinder Awl

    PATHFINDER AWL The machine includes the pathfinder string- ing awl which creates a pathway between or around strings to make inserting a string through blocked grommets 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.

  • Page 14: Maintenance & Adjustment

    MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT Tension Calibration Procedure 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 15 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 16 MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT Adjusting the String Clamp Jaw Spacing The string clamps will need minor adjustments according to what string type, construction, 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.
