ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Base Leg Assembly
The GAMMA 5003 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.
Note: For illustration purposes, the support column has
been painted white for these instructions.
Align the holes in the leg flange with the matching holes
in the lower column support post. Secure the leg with one
FLAT HEAD cap screw through the upper hole, and one
SOCKET HEAD cap screw through the bottom hole.
Repeat this procedure for the three remaining legs.
Base Foot Height Adjustment
Each foot of the GAMMA 5003 Base Stand can be adjusted to compensate for uneven surfaces.
Upper Column Support Assembly
Insert the upper column support into the lower column
support / base leg assembly. Leave the upper column
extended to maximum height and lock in place with the
two set screws located at the top of the lower column
support.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
Tool Tray Installation
Lower the tool tray over the top of the upper column
support and let it rest loosely on the bellows assembly.
Tension Track Installation
Place the tube of the tension track assembly over the top
of the upper column support. Securely tighten the two
socket set screws on the tension track assembly tube,
locking it to the upper column support. Align the notch in
the tool tray with the tension track bar while raising the
tool tray. Secure the tray with the set screws in the side
of the tray casting.
