Instrument Setup
• The KU-3 is supplied with the viscometer head mounted on the stand. Remove the entire viscometer from
the packing container and place it on a sturdy, level surface.
▪
Make sure the instrument is in an adequate working environment
(dust-free, moderate temperature, low humidity, etc.).
▪
Make sure the instrument is on a level surface.
• Move the operating handle to the top (uppermost) position.
• Plug the metal jacket of the power supply into the circular receptacle on the back of the viscometer. Screw
the threaded collar on the metal jacket securely to the threads on the receptacle. Connect the powercord to
the socket on the power supply and plug it into the appropriate power source.
• Insert the paddle spindle (KU-1030) into the viscometer spindle shaft. Align the cross bars of the spindle to
the slots in the coupling. Insert the spindle shaft completely until the magnetic connection is achieved.
• For Quart Cans: Place the quart can directly into the recess
of the viscometer
• For Pint Cans: Place the can adapter (KU-1004) into the recess of
the viscometer base. The deep side of the adapter should be facing
up. Place the pint can directly into the adapter.
▪
Caution: Slide the pint can into the can adapter to avoid
contacting the paddle spindle. Contact between the can and
paddle spindle may result in damage to the KU-3 Viscometer.
• For ½ Pint Cans: Place the can adapter (KU-1004) into the recess of
the viscometer base. The deep side of the adapter should be facing
down. Place the ½ pint can directly into the adapter.
