Cartridge / Headshell Installation

I have a Stanton 500 AL II Cartridge/needle, and the Stanton H4S Headshell. I'm fairly sure I can get the headshell into the tonearm, but getting the cartridge into the headshell is completely baffling me. Normally I would just dick around until I got it, but with rather fragile and expensive electronics, I'm hesitant to do so. I was hoping some of you could help me out.

Danke.

read the instructions that came with your carts.

If I remember correctly, the 500 AL II 's have color coded connections for the wires... When I would use those needles, I would just match up all the colors.

I used some small snub-nosed pliers to connect the wires from the cartdrige to the headshell.

to mount the cartdridge, I would run the bolt from top down and close the bolt with the nut at the bottom.

Actually, Im not really sure which part is hard for you, so probably be a good idea to read the manual or look online.
