Hi,
I don't think so.  Basic instructions are on the back cover.  You need test equipment for azimuth.  Check this out:

Azimuth matters and you're more likely to need adjustment with a hand built cart.  It's a misconception that azimuth depends on the tip being perfectly vertical (side to side) in-groove.  It's the coils or armature that must be parallel to the record surface which is more likely (I think) in a mass produced cart.
Anyway, if you don't have Feikert software, you can get pretty close with a decent output display, but it's a little tricky to get it perfect.  You'll have to fine tune by ear.  When you get it real close you'll hear it.

Thank you Neobop and Londonbarn.

I think Analog Production should make a video of it to boost sales.
