4. Place tonearm force gauge on the platter and carefully lower stylus onto "2"

Adjusting the counterweight ensures the pressure the stylus applies to the record is correct. Too much pressure can cause distortion and lost
information as well as wear to your records. Too little pressure and the stylus will jump and potentially damage your records.

Return the arm to its armrest to adjust the counterweight. This part of the process requires care and patience. Rotate anti-clockwise to increase
balance weight or clockwise to decrease balance weight.
