[. . . ] It slips off of the cartridge by pulling it towards you in a downward motion. The MMF-2. 1 comes complete with a factory installed Music Hall 'Tracker' cartridge. The tracking force scale (6a) on the counterweight has no decimal point. The objective of balancing or zeroing the tonearm is to get the stylus tip to float level with the platter. Lift, position, and hold the tonearm between the tonearm rest (8) and the platter (5). Be careful, to not allow the cartridge to contact the plinth (the turntable base). With your free hand turn the counterweight counterclockwise or clockwise until the tonearm floats freely and parallel to the platter in mid-air. We are now going to zero the tonearm and set the correct tracking force. The tracking force scale (6a) moves independently of the counterweight. Hold the rear of the counterweight with one hand securing its position. With you other hand, lightly grip and turn the tracking force scale until the zero is in the twelve o' clock position (dead center on top of the counterweight). Check it, by once again floating the tonearm between the tonearm rest and the platter. If the tonearm is not parallel to the platter at zero, return to the previous steps and make the necessary adjustments. Turn the counterweight counterclockwise to 1. 75gms(The position centered between 17 and 18 on the scale). Once the cartridge has run-in (usually about 50hours of playing 7 time) feel free to experiment with a slightly higher or lower tracking force and pick the one you prefer. The tonearm has been adjusted at the factory to operate with the Music Hall 'Tracker' cartridge and no further adjustments of the tonearm or cartridge are necessary Set the anti-skating force for the cartridge as follows. You will notice a fishing line attached to the antiskating weight(16). Slip the looped end of the fishing line over the antiskating rod (15) and into notch number 2. Lift the anti-skating weight (16) over the anti-skating hanger (17) and feed the fishing string through the looped end of the anti-skating hanger (17). The anti-skating weight (16) should now be dangling in free space to the left of the hanger. If it is not dangling, simply bend the anti-skating hanger (17) by pushing it away from the tonearm pillar with your finger. 11. Slide the dust cover (10) onto the dust cover hinges (11) on the back of the plinth. [. . . ] Repairs will only be made under warranty if the unit is returned correctly packaged.
