Clean all turntable parts using the Kronos cleaner. The 

Kronos is finished in a luxurious brushed nickel. Wipe 

on the cleaner and let it dry, the finish will remain bright 

and clean. Avoid using cleaner on the platters where 

the belts contact. A glass cleaner is a better cleaner in 

that case.

Insert the supplied 4 spacer rings. This will simplify 

assembly of the Kronos.

Place upon the rings the second level deck assembly.

Install the silver colored bearing well using the supplied 

10-32 socket head screws. Do not over tighten.

Add 8 ml. of Kronos bearing oil. Make sure the 

bearing shaft is oiled. A syringe is included in your kit 

to facilitate this process.

Place the bearing ball on top of the bearing shaft. 

Make sure it does not fall in the bearing well. The 

bearing ball for the lower platter is made of steel, and 

is silver in color.

Carefully deposit the balancer platter (the one without 

the spindle) onto the bearing shaft. 

The platter 

should rotate freely.

 If it does not, remove the 

platter and make sure the ball is on top of the bearing 

shaft.

Install the 3 belts onto the motor pulley and pick up 

pulley. Make sure no grease or oil contact the belts. If 

this happens, the belts can be cleaned using regular 

glass cleaner.
