CHANGING STROKE WHEELS
CRONUS machine has the ability to change needle stroke by interchanging stroke wheels inside the machine. There are 2 available stroke wheels: 3,5mm and 4,0mm. Carefully follow the next steps to swap out the stroke wheels.

Never spray or pour fluids directly on the surface to prevent fluids from entering the machine, it can cause short circuit or damage internal system elements and will void the warranty. Use only slightly damped piece of paper or wipes to apply sterilization products. Always use cartridges with internal membrane. This will allow avoiding contamination inside the machine. Any fluids, pigments or oil inside the machine will void the warranty and may require additional service or replacement of internal parts.
