How exactly do I set the tracking weight adjustment?

On the rear of the tonearm is a counterweight which consists of two parts – the adjustment dial and the weight itself.  First, remove the plastic stylus guard from the cartridge. Next, turn the weight in the appropriate direction so that the cartridge floats directly above the platter – it should not make contact with the platter, nor should it point up in the air.  When you have achieved this point, immediately lock the tonearm in its rest, and then move only the adjustment dial (not the weight itself) to ‘0’.  Finally, turn the entire assembly (both the dial and the weight itself) until you achieve the desired weight.  Take care not to deviate outside of the Tracking Force Range as specified by the included documentation, as it may result in skipping, poor sound quality, or unnecessary wear on your vinyl.
