distance from here to the counterweight is not large enough to give the correct tracking force
a smaller counterweight should be used.
The height of the tonearm now should be adjusted. With the stylus resting on a
record the
arm base is moved downwards or upwards until the arm tube is in parallel to the
record, and the arm base is turned so that the pick-up lifter can always support the arm tube.
The screw in the arm bush then is tightened with the accompanying hexagon spanner.
If the tone arm rest is mounted on the pick-up lifter, it should - when adjusting the position of
the arm base - be considered that the arm rest should allow the arm tube to rest in a suitable
distance from the record.
The height of the pick-up lifter is adjusted so that the stylus is about 4 mm (5/32”) above the
record, when the pick-up lifter is in "raised" position.
If separate tone arm rest is used, it is adjusted in a height, so that the arm tube rests on it,
when the pick-up lifter is in "raised" position.

Cartridge azimuth
Azimuth (inclination of stylus as seen from the front) may have to be adjusted. When the
stylus is resting on a record, the stylus - and so the cartridge - should stand at a right angle as
to the record. If it does not, note the direction in which the cartridge should be tilted, and take
off the arm tube.
On top of the arm base in the left side there is a red dot. In the right side - opposite to the red
dot - there is a sunk screw in which the hexagon spanner will fit. By turning the hexagon
spanner clockwise the arm - and so the cartridge - will be tilted to the left. Opposite by turning
counter clockwise. 1/4 - 1/2 turn may be enough.
Put back the arm tube and check if further adjustment is necessary.

Lateral balance
The direction of the counterweight rod extended to the stylus should be the line of lateral
balance. Coarse adjustment can be done by turning the counterweights on the counterweight
rod, so that their center of gravity is pointing downwards or upwards and about 30° to the right
as seen from the end of the rod.
Fine adjustment can be done by raising the moveable part of the tonearm at the
counterweight rod. The hexagon spanner could be used holding it horizontally under the
counterweight rod as close to the body of the arm base as possible and using it to raise the
moveable part of the tonearm about l mm off its bearings.
When doing this the arm tube should rest on the raised pick-up lifter, and the anti skating
spring should be pushed, so that it does not pull the tonearm.
When raising the moveable part of the tonearm as described above, both sides of the arm
base should raise simultaneously. If one side is too light and comes up first, the "heavy end"
of the counterweight/s should be turned a little in the direction of the side, where the arm is too
light. Then try again to raise with the hexagon spanner, a.s.o. until both sides comes up
simultaneously.
