3. Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally. This is the zero-tracking force position.
4. Once balanced, carefully push the counterweight inwards towards the pivot until it aligns with the recommended tracking force for the Carbon cartridge (typically 2g). The RB220's automatic bias will compensate for this setting.
