Are you sure that's not for adjusting the arm height? See photo of what Barry is talking about. I've looked at the schematic and I can't quite tell what it does!

Also see my screw to the left, this goes through the centre of the tracking weight spring and effectively makes the spring stronger, which therefore makes the arm lighter... just a trial at present but seems to work!
