STRINGING THE FRAME
Setting Tension
The GAMMA 5003 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 tension 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. When the "0" mark on the knob aligns with
the line on the knob support the tension will be that
indicated on the scale. To increase tension by 1 or 2 lbs
turn the knob counterclockwise until the "1" or "2" mark
on the knob aligns with the line on the knob support. To
decrease tension by 1 or 2 lbs, turn the knob clockwise
until the "2" or "1" mark on the knob aligns with the line
on the knob support.
Tensioner Travel Stop
To prevent contact between the tension head and the
racquet and/or turntable, a stop screw is located about
midpoint along the tensioner bar below the gear track. In
the event the tension head must be moved closer to the
racquet, turn the stop screw counter-clockwise with the
5 mm hex wrench until the end of the stop screw no
longer protrudes beyond the surface of the tensioner
bar. To re-engage the stop, simply turn the stop screw
clockwise until the screw is seated against the tensioner
bar.
Travel Stop
Clamp Head Operation
GAMMA "Quick Action" Clamps are of a dual action
design where as the clamp head and clamp base
operate independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and place the string
between the jaws and depress the clamp head lever to
secure the string. The clamping pressure applied to the
string should be adjusted to provide sufficient pressure
to secure the string when subjected to the desired pulling
tension. The diamond coated gripper plates provide for
increased friction between the clamps and the string to
allow for reduced clamping pressure while securing and
holding the string under tension.
