Setting a Precise Tracking Force 1. After mounting the cartridge on the tonearm, rotate the circular weight at the back of the tonearm until the needle floats evenly above the record. 2. Hold the circular weight in place and rotate the calibration ring to read zero. The tonearm should still float evenly above the record. 3. Rotate the weight until the calibration ring indicates the desired tracking force. Care and cleaning DJs: Don't use more tracking force than necessary to prevent skipping. Excess
