[. . . ] To avoid damage, be careful not to 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, without the aid of your hand, in mid-air and parallel to the platter. Don't worry about the number on the tracking force scale, you will soon calibrate and set it properly. You are now going to set the ring with numbers on the counterweight to zero. The tracking force scale (6a) turns independently of the counterweight. IMPORTANT With your right hand hold the rear part of the counterweight to make sure that it does not move. With your left hand, lightly grip and turn the tracking force scale until the number 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 doesn't float parallel 7 to the platter at zero, return to the previous steps and make the necessary adjustments. Turn it through numbers 5, 10, 15 to the position centered between 17 and 18 on the scale). Once the cartridge has run-in (usually about 24 -50 hours of playing time) feel free to experiment with a slightly higher or lower tracking force and pick the one you prefer. You will notice a small fishing line attached to the anti-skating weight (16). Slip the looped end of the fishing line over the anti-skating rod (15) and into notch number 2 (See diagram below). 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. If necessary, adjust the tightness of the hinges by turning the dust cover hinge screws (12). 8 NOTE If you are substituting another cartridge for the Music Hall 'Tracker', you may need to make the following further adjustments to the tonearm (9) and cartridge: If you are a novice, music hall recommends getting professional help. Leaving the stylus guard on, fit the cartridge to the head shell (21) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each slot in the finger lift and the head shell (21). Connect the tonearm (9) wires to the cartridge pins as follows: white left channel positive (L+) red right channel pos. (R+) green right channel return (R -) blue left channel return (L -) To achieve the best sound reproduction, the cartridge must be positioned precisely in the head shell. To do this, fit the tangency guide (you'll find this in the parts bag. [. . . ] Repairs will only be made under warranty if the unit is returned correctly packaged.
