13. Place the counterweight (6) onto the tonearm. To do this, position yourself in front of
the turntable. Hold the counterweight so that the numbers are nearer you.
Carefully, screw the counterweight counterclockwise onto the back of the tonearm.
14. Remove the tonearm-locking strap (18). Place it in a safe position for possible future
transport.
15. Make sure the tonearm is in the tonearm rest (8). Carefully, remove the stylus guard
(the piece of clear plastic on the bottom of the cartridge). It slips off of the cartridge
by pulling it towards you in a slight downward motion. Save it for future use.
16. You will now set the tracking force. The mmf-7.1 comes complete with a factory
installed Goldring Eroica H cartridge. We recommend a tracking force of 1.75g.
Please note; the tracking force scale (6a) on the counterweight has no decimal point.
10 on the tracking force scale actually is 1.0 g. 15 is actually 1.5g, etc. 1.75 g is
between 17 and 18g on the scale. To set the tracking force you must first balance
(zero) the tonearm (9).
The objective of balancing or zeroing the tonearm is to get the tonearm to float
parallel to the platter.
First, lower the cueing lever (7).
Using your left hand, lift, position, and hold the tonearm (9) between the tonearm
rest (8) and the platter (5).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. Once you have balanced the tonearm, return it to the
tonearm rest.
You are now going to set the ring with numbers on the counterweight to zero. This
is called the tracking force scale.
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).
