1.
Begin by rotating the counterweight clockwise until it is in the
complete forward position (NOTE: this is also the maximum amount
of pressure that can be applied to the cartridge.)
2.
Now there should be a feeling of weight and resistance when the head
shell is raised and lowered. Begin rotating the counterweight counter-
clockwise (away from the pivot point) until the weight and resistance
feeling is gone. If done properly, the tone arm will pivot with very
little resistance back and forth indicating that there is exactly 0 grams
of stylus pressure.
3.
With the counterweight in its new position further away from tone
arm pivot point, grasp the scale ring of the counter weight and rotate
it until "0" is in the vertical position.
4.
Finally, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) clockwise (towards
the pivot point) until the desired amount of weight is reached. If the
scale rotates 360 degrees beyond the zero point, the new scale ring
reading should be added to 3.5.
*The included head shell and cartridge assembly requires a minimum
of 3 grams and no more than 5 grams for optimum performance.
