Tracking Force Range, Benz M2

I just received a new to me Benz M2 that has been re-tipped and has zero hours. Do any of you know the tracking force range for set-up?

Thanks, Dave

Should that change for a re-tipped cart.?

Try to do it by ear. It should be close to the original spec but sometimes its not.
