6.5 Adjusting the cartridge 

If you have to change the position of the diamond tip you can uns-
crew the screw on the top of the tonearm`s headshell and move
the cartridge into the corresponding position.
Please make also sure that the leading edge of the cartridge is
parallel to the marker lines of the cartridge alignment gauge and
the needle is exactly in the reference point. If not correct it by 
moving forward and backward and changing the angle.
Fix the right position through looking the headshell screw on the
top.

7. Longitudinal balance

Position the arm so that it is clear of the armrest and the cartridge
is clear of the turntable. Move the lift into the low position. Balance
the arm by rotating the weight to move it backwards or forward as
required to make the arm float around his zero point.

The tracking force weight has 3 screws around his circle to fix the
position. Make sure to tighten the screws only vers very soft.

8. Vertikal tracking force

(cartridge)

The screws can be used as scale to adjust the weight. 

Every 360 degree turn of the weight adds 0.25gramm

to the

cartridge. So if you need 1.5 gr. for example find the zero floating
position of the arm and then do 6 full roundturns to get the 1.5gr.
tracking force.

OK

Not OK
