2. Lower the tonearm lift.
3. Carefully rotate the counterweight on the rear of the tonearm until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally.
4. Once balanced, hold the counterweight steady and rotate the tracking force dial (the numbered ring on the front of the counterweight) to '0'.
5. Rotate the entire counterweight (including the dial) counter-clockwise until the dial shows the recommended tracking force for the Pick it MM EVO cartridge, which is typically 1.8 grams. Refer to the cartridge specifications for precise values.

4.4. Ajuste anti-patinaje

The anti-skate mechanism prevents the tonearm from being pulled towards the center of the record. The Debut EVO 2 uses a weight-on-string anti-skate system.

2. Hang the loop of the anti-skate weight's string over the second groove of the anti-skate stub. This setting is generally suitable for the pre-mounted cartridge.
