4.4. Setting Tracking Force and Anti-Skating

This is an important step for proper playback and stylus longevity.

  1. Turn only the counterweight indicator ring to '0' on the center line. Do not turn the entire counterweight.
  2. Turn the entire counterweight counter-clockwise until the number '2' is on the center line. This sets the tracking force to 2 grams, which is optimal for the Ortofon OM10 cartridge.
  3. Locate the small anti-skating dial next to the tonearm base. Set this dial to '2', matching the tracking force.
