Unpacking
Check carefully to see that all the components are received with no concealed damage.
1 base (VS-1Y) 1 screw and at washer
3 leveling screws (VS-3) 1 clamp and rod assembly (VS-CRA-14S)
Open and discard all packaging materials for the base. Remove the three (3) leveling screws from
the base. Remove the jam nut from the upright rod.
Assembly (Refer to Appendix E)
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 clamp
and rod assembly facing forward (the tension screw should be visible), towards the open part of the
“V” in the base, gently tighten the jam nut.
Viscometer Mounting
e VS-CRA-14S clamp and rod assembly should be positioned so that the tension screw on the
clamp is facing the operator. is 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 rod 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 knob.
e tension screw on the front side of the clamp assembly should be loosened or
tightened as necessary to provide smooth height adjustment and adequate support
for the Viscometer.
Center the Viscometer relative to the stand base and retighten the jam nut as required. Refer ring to
the Viscometer bubble level, adjust the leveling screws until the instrument is level.
Operation
Rotate the Up/Down Knob to raise or lower the viscometer.
