Assembling the tonearm
1
Remove the cable tie used to secure the tonearm at the time of delivery.
Use the clamp to temporarily secure the tonearm to the tonearm rest.
2
Insert the headshell into the tonearm.
Hold the right and left edges of the headshell so that you do not damage the stylus or cut the cartridge’s
wires.
3
With the headshell inserted, turn the locking ring counterclockwise (to the left).
4
Attach the counterweight to the back of the tonearm and slowly turn it counterclockwise (to the
left).
Tonearm balance and tracking force
In order for the cartridge to pick up sound correctly from the record’s grooves, the tonearm’s balance and tracking force
must be adjusted to fit the specifications of the cartridge. If the tonearm’s balance and tracking force are not properly
adjusted, the record or the cartridge’s stylus may become damaged.
Do not drag the cartridge’s stylus across the record or platter when adjusting the tonearm’s balance or tracking
force. Doing so may damage the stylus.
