Tracking Force for Denon DL-103r

I recently received my Denon DL-103r from Japan and the lit is of course in Japanese. Get anyone help with the recommended settings for the tracking force, and other specs.? It is mounted on a Audioquest PT-6.

Some guys like the 103R tracking at 2gms as it gives it a little more life. Mine is tracking at about 2.3 currently. The vinyl engine has a nice English manual for the 103 on their web site under the library link. enjoy

I thought that was a little high but I think I will leave at that for now. One more question, how many hours till this puppy's broken in?
