Unpacking
Check carefully to see that all the components are received with no concealed damage.
1 Base, VS-2, with 2 Leveling Screws, VS-3, packed in a cardboard carton
1 Upright Rod with attached Clamp Assembly in the instrument case
Assembly (Refer to Figure I-1)
1. Remove the base assembly from the carton.
2. Remove the screw and washer from the upright rod. Place the rod and clamp assembly into
the hole in the top of the base.
Note: The “Front” designation on the clamp assembly should face
toward you.
3. Rotate the rod/clamp assembly slightly until the slot on the bottom of the rod intersects the
pin located in the base.
4. While holding the rod and base together, insert the slotted screw and washer as shown and
tighten securely.
Viscometer Mounting
Insert the Viscometer mounting rod into the hole (with the cut-away slot) in the clamp assembly.
Adjust the instrument level until the bubble is centered from right to left and tighten the clamp
knob (clockwise). Use the leveling screws to “fine” adjust the viscometer level.
Note: If the Digital Viscometer cannot be leveled, check to insure that the rod is
installed with the gear rack facing forward.
Caution: Do not tighten the clamp knob unless the viscometer mounting rod
is inserted in the clamp assembly.
Operation
Rotate the UP/DOWN knob to raise or lower the viscometer. Adjust the tension screw if the UP/
DOWN movement of the viscometer head is not acceptable, i.e. too easy or too difficult.
