  • Page 4: Assembly Instructions

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Base Leg Assembly The GAMMA 5002 stringing machine uses a four leg base design. The legs must be assembled to the support post before use. Remove the lower column support from the carton. This is the larger of the two posts and has the GAMMA label.
  • Page 5 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 6 Insert the center post of the turntable into the bushing located in the top of the tensioner bar post. Installing the Frame Support Posts The GAMMA 5002 support post assemblies are precision aligned at the factory and are marked for proper installation on the turn- table.
  • Page 7 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Place the load bushing into the top of the clamp base mating it to the lower guide bushing. After checking that the thrust bear- ing is positioned correctly in the base of the winged lock knob, screw the knob into the base bushing until fully seated.
  • Page 8: 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.

    Fixed Clamp Operation - Step 1 The fixed clamps for the GAMMA 5002 are of a dual action design. The string clamp and the clamp base operate independently of one another.
  • Page 10 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 11 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.
  • Page 12: Pathfinder Awl

    PATHFINDER AWL The GAMMA 6002 includes the new Path- finder stringing awl which creates a pathway between or around strings and through tight grommets. Insert the awl through the grommet hole in the same manner as for traditional awls. The Pathfinder awl must be closed before inser- tion.
