position as shown while turning the stop
screw clockwise with the supplied 5mm hex
wrench.

packing in the bottom of the shipping carton.
Insert the center post of the turntable into
the bushing of the stringing machine base.

The GAMMA 600 support post assemblies
are precision aligned at the factory and are
marked for proper installation on the turntable.

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. Slide
the post outward until the center support of
the racquet support slide is positioned near
the inside surface of the racquet frame.
Securely tighten the lever lock bolt.
Adjust the opposite post using the same
procedure.
Caution: To avoid racquet damage, the center posts should not contact the racquet prior
to fixing the support posts.
Adjusting the Frame Shoulder Supports
Being sure the shoulder supports are free to
swivel in thier mountings, simultaneously
rotate the shoulder support adjustment knobs
clockwise until both shoulder supports gently and squarely contact the frame.
Tighten the Frame Support Slides at the head
and throat of the racquet until they gently
contact the frame between the two center
main string grommets.
Securing the Frame
Lock the shoulder supports in position by
turning the knob at the base clockwise.
Repeat the adjustment procedure for the
remaining support post.
Re-tighten all of the frame supports in the
same order as before.
Do not overtighten any of the supports as
racquet damage may occur.
The supports should be tightened to the point
mounting system when the handle is grasped and attempts are made to move it. Should any
supports lose contact with the frame while stringing, they should be re-tightened.
