Check carefully to see that all the components are received with no concealed damage.
1 base 1 jam nut
3 leveling screws 1 clamp assembly
1 upright rod
Remove the three (3) leveling screws from the base and discard the packing material. Remove
the jam nut from the upright rod.
Assembly (Refer to Figure H-2)
Screw the leveling screws into the base. Insert the threaded end of the upright rod into the hole in
the top of the base and attach the jam nut to the rod on the underside of the base. With the rod gear
rack facing forward (toward the “V” in the base), gently tighten the jam nut.
Viscometer Mounting
The VS-41Y clamp assembly should be positioned so that the word ‘front’ is facing the operator.
This will ensure the cut-away slot of the clamp assembly will align properly with the machined
key ridge of the viscometer handle. Insert the viscometer handle into the cut-away hole of the
clamp assembly. Adjust the instrument level until the bubble is centered within the target and
tighten the clamp screw, VS-41Y.
Note: The small clamp adjusting screw (Figure H2) on the front of the clamp assembly
should be loosened or tightened as necessary to provide smooth height adjust-
ment and adequate support for the Viscometer.
Center the Viscometer relative to the stand base and retighten the jam nut as required. Referring
to the Viscometer bubble level, adjust the leveling screws until the instrument is level.
Operation
Rotate the Gear Screw to raise or lower the viscometer.
