as do the vestax instructions

please, read the insruction book, it will help you set up the decks for use properly.

you need to balance the tonearm, so screw out the weight until the arm will balance without aid, then screw in the weight until it gets to the required weight, each cart has its own specified weight range, usually between 2-5g.

the

manual

once you have it balanced, move the inner ring of the weight to 0, lining it up with the line on the tonearm (it moves independantly to the tonearm), then twist it in until it lines up with whatever weight you want, for the sake of argument, put it on 3.5
