SETTING UP
Using the supplied tool take great care when
removing the cartridge from the protective
aluminium case. ALWAYS remove the four top
lid bolts first. Carefully support the weight of the
Aphelion 2 with one finger on the cartridge body
whilst removing the three cartridge mounting
bolts from the underside of the case to prevent
damage to the cartridge.
MOUNTING
Rega’s custom cartridge torque wrench is
designed to apply accurate and even torque (0.4
Nm) to each mounting bolt ensuring optimum
performance. Fit all three mounting bolts then
tighten each one fully until the tool ‘clicks’ three
times. Only use the supplied mounting hardware.
N.B.
The front third fixing is for use on Rega
tonearms arms only.
Match the coloured tonearm wires to the
corresponding coloured cartridge pins. Use
tweezers to fit the tags to the pins. Never pull
the headshell wires always use the cartridge tags.
Always re-fit the stylus guard carefully after each
use.
