- Tracking Force Setting: Rotate the tracking force scale ring to '0' while holding the counterweight steady. Then, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) counter-clockwise until the desired tracking force (typically 1.8g for the Pick it MM EVO) is indicated.
- Ajust antipatinatge: Attach the anti-skating weight to the small groove on the anti-skating stub. The recommended setting for the Pick it MM EVO cartridge is the second groove from the tonearm pivot.
