Issue with Grace Tonearm

Hi. Glad to be a new member. I got a Grace tonearm, said model 560 but couldn't find out anything about it. My problem is the counterweight end is really heavy, and I don't know how to compensate for it. I put a 10g weight on the head shell and that balanced it, but I don't know what to do to set it up on my TT, an older Sota Moonbeam. It has the neatest anti-skating device I've seen! Thanks
