TONEARM SETUP 
1.  Begin by rotating the counterweight counter-clockwise until it 
is in the complete forward position (NOTE: this is also the 
maximum amount of pressure that can be applied to the 
cartridge.) 
2.  Now there should be a feeling of weight and resistance when 
the head shell is raised and lowered. Begin rotating the 
counterweight clockwise (away from the pivot point) until the 
weight and resistance feeling is gone. If done properly, the 
tone arm will pivot with very little resistance back and forth 
indicating that there is exactly 0 grams of stylus pressure. 
3.  With the counterweight in its new position further away from 
tone arm pivot point, grasp the scale ring of the counter 
weight and rotate it until "0" is in the vertical position. 
4.  Finally, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) counter-
clockwise (towards the pivot point) until the desired amount of 
weight is reached. If the scale rotates 360 degrees beyond the 
zero point, the new scale ring reading should be added to 3.5. 
*The included head shell and cartridge assembly requires a 
minimum of 3 grams and no more than 5 grams for optimum 
performance.
