  5. Set Tracking Force to Zero: On the front of the counterweight, locate the number ring. While holding the counterweight in place, rotate only the number ring until the "0" (zero) aligns with the alignment mark (a straight line) on the rear of the tonearm.
  6. Адрэгулюйце сілу прыцягнення: Now, rotate both the number ring and the counterweight together counter-clockwise by one and a half turns. This will align the "1" (one) on the number ring with the alignment mark, indicating a tracking force of 1.5 grams.

  8. Adjust Anti-Skate: Locate the anti-skate knob near the tonearm base. Rotate this knob to the recommended setting of 1.5. A small triangle mark indicates the setting.
