- Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally.
- Rotate the tracking force dial (the numbered ring on the counterweight) to '0' without moving the counterweight itself.
- Rotate the entire counterweight counter-clockwise until the desired tracking force is set. Refer to the cartridge specifications for the recommended tracking force (typically 1.8g for the Pick it MM EVO).
