Follow the procedure outlined below for attaching the cartridge to the headshell. 1. Take out the headshell, cartridge mounting screws, nuts, washers and small screwdriver from the accessory box. The screws come in three different lengths so choose the screws according to the height of the cartridge you intend to attach. 2. The terminals on the accessory headshell are aligned as shown in Fig. 2. Check the location and polarity of each of the cartridge's terminal pins and then connect the lead wires, taking care not to get the polarities mixed up. NOTE: Do not solder when you cminect the lead wires to the cartridge. If the Cead wire lugs are loose, use a pair of tweezers or a similar object to pinch in the end lightly.
