ASSEMBLY/MOUNTING THE VISCOMETER
1. Remove the mounting screw and washer from the upright rod. Place the rod and clamp
assembly into the hole in the top of the base.
3. While holding the rod and base together, insert the screw and washer as shown and tighten
securely.
4. Adjust the tension screw so that the clamp assembly is not loose on the upright rod.
5. Remove the hex socket screw from the clamp assembly and separate the clamp. Place the
mounting rod of the Viscometer against the clamp/rod assembly and reinstall the clamp and
hex socket screw. Adjust the instrument level until the bubble is centered from right to left
and tighten the clamp knob (clockwise).
Caution: Do not tighten the clamp knob unless the viscometer mounting rod is
inserted in the clamp assembly.
6. Center the Viscometer relative to the stand base and re-tighten the 50S311832S01B screw
as required. Referring to the Viscometer bubble level, adjust the VS-3 leveling screws until
the instrument is level.
Note: If the clamp is taken off the upright rod, the tension insert must be properly
aligned for the clamp to fit back onto the upright rod.
