Place the viscometer upright. Remove the upper stopper (N).
Remove the spindle carefully (L).
Unscrew the bottom stopper (M) and remove the container (K) from below the thermo station
jacket (J).
Remove the container, wash it or use compressed air. Wash the circulation jacket too if
necessary.
Remove Adapter (G) from the circulation jacket.
Important:
Do not use any cleaner or tool that can damage the metallic surface. Make sure you only use liquids
that agree with the APM adapter material!
Solvents that can be used: water, ethanol or high concentrations of alcohol. For other solvents,
check the chemistry compatibility table.
