  1. Slide the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm with the numbers facing forward.
  2. The Pick it MM EVO cartridge is pre-mounted on the headshell. Attach the headshell to the tonearm and tighten the locking nut securely.
  3. Carefully remove the stylus protector from the cartridge.

  8. Turn only the numbered ring of the counterweight to '0' on the center line. Do not turn the entire counterweight.
  9. Now, turn the entire counterweight (including the numbered ring) counter-clockwise until the desired tracking force is set (e.g., 2 grams for the Pick it MM EVO cartridge).
  10. Locate the anti-skating dial near the tonearm base. Set this dial to the same value as your tracking force (e.g., '2').
