5.2 Pre-adjustment of the tracking force
Note: This step requires removing the stylus guard from the cartridge.
Please proceed w ith 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 counterweight will depend on the weight of the cartridge.
Our recommendat ion:
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 7g or more. If your cartridge is lighter, use a
weight between the headshell and the cartridge (headshell plate is not included).
