For pre-setting the tracking force, screw the counter weight on to the threaded back of the
tonearm.
Take the tonearm tube from the armrest and support it with one hand while screwing the
counter
weight with the other hand cautiously towards the centre of rotation of the tonearm. When
the tonearm is balanced, the tracking force is should be zero. If you screw the counter
weight four full turns towards
the centre of rotation axle of the tonearm, the tracking force will be about 2g. This means,
one turn is 0.5 g. Now you can continue the installation. The exact and final adjustment will
be done now later.
In order to adjust the correct vertical position of the tone
arm, please place a record on the turntable platter and lower
the pick-up on to the record.
Now you have to find the correct horizontal position of the
tonearm, which should be, that the tonearm tube is parallel
to the record surface.
Alter the vertical position of the tone arm by loosening the
adjusting screws in the base a little, so that tonearm can be
moved up and down. Tighten these screws when you reach
the final horizontal position.
When the screws are tightened the satisfy-tone arm should
be installed on your
Performance SE
as shown in the top view picture.
