Adjusting tone arm and pick-up cartridge
Turn the tracking force adjuster (1) to "0" and the
anti-skating knob (2) counter-clockwise until it stops
(Fig. 6).
Screw the tonearm counter weight (3) onto the rear
tonearm tube (Fig. 5).
Unlock the tone arm (4) and move it a bit towards
the centre of the platter. Bring the lift-lever (5) into
position DOWN while holding back the tone arm (Fig. 6).
By turning the counter weight (3) the tone arm can
be precisely balanced in order to make it hover
freely above the platter. Move the tone arm back to
its rest. You can now adjust the tracking force (1) and
the anti-skating force (2). Adjust to 1.5 mN (Milli-
Newton) for the factory-installed pick-up
