Brookfield Dial Reading Viscometers now have two year limited warranty from date of purchase

warranty evaluation service. Prior to the return of the viscometer, you must call for a return

I.4 Set-Up
The shipping box containing your instrument should be saved for future use when returning
your instrument to Brookfield or an authorized dealer for service. The carrying case for standard
viscometers/rheometers should also be saved since this provides added protection for these
instruments during shipment. Failure to use these specially designed containers for transportation
can negate the warranty on your instrument. Please contact Brookfield if you misplace or damage
these containers. Replacements are available for a small cost.
1) Assemble laboratory stand as shown in Appendix D.
2) Mount the Viscometer securely on a Brookfield laboratory stand. The metal handle
should be inserted into the laboratory stand clamp.
Level the viscometer, referring to the bubble level on the instrument. If the viscometer
cannot be leveled, recheck the laboratory stand assembly.
Verify that the viscometer's power requirements match your power source before
connecting it to power.
