Tracking Force
The tracking force can be adjusted by rotating the to-
nearm counterweight (

Fig. 4
). The closer the counter-
weight is to the cartridge, the higher the tracking force.
The tracking force can be set with the help of the sup-
plied stylus balance. Lower the tonearm lift, move the
tonearm out over the platter and carefully lower it until
the stylus of the pick-up cartridge comes to rest on the
stylus balance. The stylus guard must be removed for
this procedure.
Great care should be taken to avoid damaging the
stylus.
Note: Refer to the user manual of your pick-up car-
tridge to determine the correct tracking force.

Do not move the ring that sits around the middle of
the tonearm tube (

). It serves as a vi-
bration damper and is effective only at its original
position.
