12.1.1 Mounting
The mounting process is different according to the types of low viscosity accessories (LCP and LCP/B).
The difference between them only remains that the LCP has a thermo station jacket (J) and a container (K)
and the LCP/B only incorporates a container (K). The LCP screw its thermo station jacket (J) to the connector
(G), on the other hand, the LCP/B screws the container directly to the connector (G). Now is detailed the LCP
assembling
Unplug the viscometer.
Attach the extension (X) between the base Y
shaped (A) and the rib (C). Use a 19 mm
adjustable spanner in order to fasten the nut
(D).
Assemble the viscometer again starting with
the base. The extension (X) is necessary
because of the length of the LCP adapter.
Without this extension the assembly of this
accessory would be difficult, especially the
assembly of the spindle.
Fig. 9: Mounting the LCP adapter extension.
Close the sample (K) container with the stopper (M).
Insert the container (K) to the lower part, in the circulation jacket (J) by turning it gently.
Fasten the circulation jacket (J) to the connector (G).
Fill the sample container with a 20 ml syringe, or less and fill the 16 ml sample container.
Connect the hook (H) and the spindle (L)
Insert the spindle (L) in the circulation jacket (See the note * below)
Fasten the connector (G) to the hole in the back of the viscometer’s metallic base. (See the note **
below)
Screw it with the viscometer axle by turning it clockwise.
Check the level of the sample. It should be approximately in the middle of the cone, which is connected to the
spindle connector (H). Figure 10 shows more information about this.
Place the upper stopper (N) over the sample container.

*Important:
Do this slowly since the spindle must be inserted correctly in the sample. When working with a more viscous sample
be careful to avoid pulling the spindle upwards. Hold the spindle connector.
**Important:
The piece named G has two possible holes for the upper screw.
The top hole is an universal hole to screw our low viscosity adapter to other viscometers.
The bottom hole is to screw Fungilab pieces.
