8. Since the tracking force is zero when the tone-
arm is balanced level, turn just the tracking-
force scale ring in front of the counterweight,
and set the "0" on the scale to the index line on
the shaft (Fig. 7).
TRACKING FORCE ADJUSTMENT
Turning the counterweight, set the correct tracking
force opposite to the index line on the counter-
weight shaft (Fig. 8).
The tracking-force scale ring has 0.5g steps, and
one full turn of the counterweight will yield a
tracking force of 4g.
ANTI-SKATING ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the anti-skating mechanism, turn the
ANTI -SKATE knob so that the number corre-
sponding to the required tracking force is opposite
the index line (Fig. 9).
The numbers on the ANTI -SKATE knob corre-
spond to the same number of tracking force.
