Release the arm clamp and move the tonearm to the space between the arm rest and the platter, taking care not to damage the stylus. Support the headshell's finger-lift with one hand and attain the level balance by turning the counterweight either clockwise or counter-clock wise. "Level balance" means that the tonearm is parallel to the record on the platter, and that the tonearm pipe, therefore, should not tilt toward the counterweight side or the headshell side. Since the tracking force is zero when the tonearm is balanced level, turn just the tracking-foce scale ring in front of the counter-weight, and set the "0" on the scale to the index line on the shaft. When doing so, be sure to hold the counterweight with the other hand so that it does not turn together with the scale ring. NOTE: The MG-2831 cartridge that comes with the set has a tracking force of 2g. Turn the counterweight to the 2 mark. Tracking Force Adjustment Turning the counterweight, set the correct tracking force opposite the index line on the counterweight shaft. The tracking-force scale ring has 0. 25g steps and one full turn of the counterweight will yield a tracking force of 3g.
