If your deck is fitted with a Linn AKITO tonearm, set the Tracking Weight as follows:-
NOTE – the cartridge should be fitted to the arm prior to this procedure – remove the arm from the turntable when
fitting the cartridge to the arm to prevent damaging the tonearm bearing during fitting.
v Make sure the arm is clipped into its rest, the bias is off and the lift/lower device is lowered. With
tracking dial facing backward, screw the counterweight clockwise (as you look at the dial) onto the arm,
pushing gently to engage the thread. Remove the stylus guard. Holding the fingerlift, unclip the arm and
move it to between its rest and the platter.
