Owner's Manual

Once
the
cartridge
is
mounted,
balance
the
tonearm
for
the
proper
vertical
tracking
force
indicated
for
each
model
cartridge
(see
specifications
at
the
end
of
this
manual).
To
set
the
tracking
force,
first
balance
the
tonearm.
Locate
the
counterweight.
On
virtually
all
pivoted
tonearms,
it
will
be
located
at
the
rear
of
the
tonearm
(meaning
at
the
opposite
end
from
the
cartridge).
Generally,
it
looks
like
a
fairly
large,
shallow
cylinder,
usually
black
in
color
and
often
has
numbers
(indicating
grams
of
force)
ranging
from
0
to
3
or
more
printed
on
it.
As
you
move
the
counterweight
backwards,
the
cartridge
end
of
the
arm
will
lighten
(reducing
stylus
tracking
weight),
while
moving
the
counterweight
forward
will
increase
the
stylus
tracking
weight.
The
first
objective
is
to
..
statically
balance
..
the
arm,
which
is
to
achieve
the
proper
weight
balance
such
that
the
arm
..
floats
..
level.
Practice
a
bit
and
you·ll
find
it•s
fairly
easy
to
achieve.
Remember
to
exercise
caution
so
that
the
stylus
and
cantilever
are
kept
clear
of
any
obstructions
and
are
prevented
from
striking
anything
that
could
cause
damage.
After
achieving
static
balance,
adjust
the
counterweight
to
the
desired
tracking
force
by
bringing
the
weight
in
toward
the
cartridge.
Do
not
apply
anti-skate
until
the
cartridge
is
aligned.
This
will
be
addressed
later
in
the
setup
process.
