Listed are some of the more common problems that you may encounter while using your Viscometer.
Review these items before you contact Brookeld.
❏ Make sure the universal power supply is plugged in.
❏Make sure the universal power supply connector is attached to the Viscometer.
❏ Make sure the power switch is in the ON position.
❏ Make sure the speed set knob is set properly and securely at the desired speed.
❏ Make sure the spindle is tightened securely to the viscometer coupling.
❏ Check the straightness of all other spindles; replace them if bent.
❏ Inspect viscometer coupling and spindle coupling mating areas and threads for dirt: clean threads
on spindle coupling with a 3/56-inch left-hand tap.
❏ Inspect threads for wear; if the threads are worn, the unit needs service (see Appendix H).
❏ Check to see if spindles rotate eccentrically or wobble. There is an allowable runout for
1/32-inch in each direction (1/16-inch total) when measured from the bottom of the spindle
rotating in air.
❏ Check to see if the viscometer coupling is bent; if so, the unit is in need of service.
If you are continuing to experience problems with your viscometer, follow this troubleshooting section
to help isolate the potential problem.
❏ Remove the spindle and turn the motor OFF.
❏ Gently push up on the viscometer coupling.
❏ Turn the coupling until the red pointer reaches 15-20 on the dial.
❏ Gently let go of the coupling.
❏ Watch the pointer swing freely and rest on zero.
If the pointer sticks and/or does not rest at zero, the unit most likely is in need of service. See Appendix
H for details on how to return your viscometer.
