Leveling the Brookfield Viscometer:
It is
essential that the viscometer be level for proper
operation. A level is located at the top of the
viscometer. Loosening the left thumb screw
allows the viscometer to be leveled, or the use
of the leveling feet attached to the stand. Be
sure to re-tighten the left thumb screw in order to
secure the viscometer.
Power:
Connect the line cords for both the
Digital Programmable Brookfield Viscosity Liquid
Bath (K34715/K34716) and the Koehler or
Brookfield Rotational Viscometer (please see
section 3.1 for part numbers) to a properly fused
and grounded receptacle with the correct
voltage as indicated in section 3 or on the
information plate at the back of the unit.

WARNING:
For user safety, please
disconnect the line cords whenever performing
any maintenance operations and/or cleaning of
the unit.
WARNING:
