II.2 Cone Spindle Selection and Setting
Raise the viscometer handle to its highest position.
The CAP cones have viscosity ranges as shown in Appendix A. After selecting the appropriate
cone for the viscosity range to be utilized,
carefully
attach the cone to the viscometer as shown
in Figure II-3.
Be sure to insert the spindle completely into the adapter sleeve; align the flat (see Figure I-1)
on the spindle with the thumb screw and then tighten.
When using the solvent trap (Figure II-2), connect it to the cone adapter by sliding it up,
passing the slot by the thumb screw and turning the trap clockwise onto the thumbscrew.
Slide the cone up into the adapter as far as it will go and hand lock it in place with the thumb
screw. Tighten the thumb screw firmly and securely.

key. The display will change to the spindle entry screen. Using the number
keys, type in the required spindle number.
Two digits must be entered for the cone number. For cone
01
through

remains as “0”.
Note:
The default cone setting on power-up will be the last cone entry prior to shutting off
the viscometer.
After the correct two (2) digits have been entered, press the
ENTER
key and the cone will be
accepted for viscometer calculations. The screen will display the following message:
