Adjustment of Stylus Puressure

qHold the balance weight with one hand as shown in the drawing, and rotate only counter ring to bring the numeral "0" of the ring into alignment with the center line on the tone-arm rear shaft.

If the balance weight is moved, readjust the horizontal balance again.

wTurn the balance weight to present the reading on the gauge to the designed stylus force of your cartridge.

As counter ring moves in step with the balance weight, proper stylus pressure can selected by reading the graduated ring directly.

If you put too much pressure on the stylus, it can cause the stylus to jump during scratch play and will shorten the stylus's life.
