Cartridge mounting:
Mount the cartridge with the appropriate set of 2.5 mm screws.When fixing cartridge pins be sure that
you do not damage wires under insulation tubes!

Headshell removal and fixing:
This tonearm has a detachable headshell and fixing and positioning it has no negative effect on
tonearm performance. The whole headshell is fixed with one Allen key 2 mm. Insert it in the top hole
and release screw with Allen key for at least one turn (ACW). (Fig.5&6)

Disconnect cartridge pins, remove Allen key and pull out the headshell. (Fig.7)

Fix the cartridge and return headshell back in to the tube. If it can not be inserted easily, rotate the
screw a little more in ACW direction. Then fix it back in CW direction with gentle force, around one
turn.

Note:
Do not over-tighten the screw which locks the headshell.

Balancing of the tonearm:
Fix cartridge pins. Add counterweights to the lower threaded carrier, starting with the longest
counterweight, then a plastic ring and another counterweight, until the tonearm is roughly balanced.
Be sure to fit the plastic rings that separate counterweights and, at the same time, allow them to fit
together. (See Fig.2 and counterweight configuration)

Knowing the approximate mass of the cartridge, enables choice of the correct configuration of
different counterweights. Aim for roughly zero balance. Even if the counterweights are not screwed to
the end, as long as you rotate two against each other, they will be fixed on the thread. The main long
counterweight (28 mm) remains fixed on the tonearm. You can use any mix as long as you can
achieve the desired tracking force.
