5.1 Setting the position
Use the enclosed alignment gauge to measure the distance from the tip of the needle to the front
edge of the tonearm slide (see Pic. 12). The optimum measurement is 64mm.
To adjust it, slightly open both screws on top of the tonearm carriage using the #1.5 hex wrench
and move the headshell into the correct position.

5.2 Pre-adjustment of the tracking force
Note: This step requires removing the stylus guard from the cartridge.
Please proceed with great care to avoid any damage.
Use one of the counterweights supplied to adjust the tracking force, so that the cartridge is lowered
with minimal force. The choice of the counterweight will depend on the weight of the cartridge.
Our recommendation:
Weight size 1 for cartridges weighing 7g
Weight size 3 for cartridges weighing 8g
Weight size 4 for cartridges weighing 12g
This tonearm is suitable for cartridges with a weight of 5.5g or more. If your cartridge is lighter, use
a weight between the headshell and the cartridge (headshell plate is not included).
