Instruction manual
Use the enclosed headshell screws (2x M 2,5) to fix
the pick-up/cartridge to the headshell of the tonearm.
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 you, 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
