Headshell removal and fixing: 
This tonearm has a detachable headshell and fixing and positioning it has no negative effect  
on tonearm performance.  The whole headshell is fixed with one Allen key 2 mm.  Insert it in 
the top hole and release screw with Allen key for at least one turn (ACW).  (Fig.2&3) 
 
Disconnect cartridge pins, remove Allen key and pull out the headshell.  (Fig.4) 
 
Fix  the  cartridge  and  return  headshell  back  in  to  the  tube.    If  it  can  not  be  inserted  easily, 
rotate the screw a little more in ACW direction.  Then fix it back in CW direction with gentle 
force, around one turn.

Note: 
Do not over-tighten the screw which locks the headshell.

Balancing of the tonearm: 
Fix cartridge pins. Balance the tonearm to zero tracking force by rotating counterweight along 
the thread.
