TONEARM SETUP
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.
