❏ Remove and return all spindles (properly packed
for shipping).
❏ Clean excess testing material off the instrument.
❏ Include MSDS sheets for all materials tested with
this instrument.
❏ Support pointer shaft with white, nylon shipping
cap, as shown in Figure K1, or with white plastic
shipping cap originally supplied with instrument.
❏ Pack the instrument in its original case. Cases are
available for immediate shipment from Brookfield.
If the case is not available, take care to wrap the
instrument with enough material to support it.
Avoid using foam peanuts or shredded paper.
❏ DO NOT send the laboratory stand unless there is
a problem with the upright rod, clamp or base. If
there is a problem with the stand, remove the
upright rod from the base and individually wrap
each item to avoid contact with the instrument. Do
not put lab stand in viscometer carrying case.
❏ Fill out a copy of the Viscometer Information Sheet
(on the following page) with as much information
as possible to help expedite your service or include
a memo indicating the type of problem you are
experiencing or the service you need performed.
Please also include a purchase order number for us
to bill against.
❏ Package the instrument and related items in a strong
box for shipping. Mark the outside of the box with
handling instructions.
Example: "Handle with Care" or
"Fragile - Delicate Instrument"
For cone/plate instruments, please remove the cone spindle and carefully pack in place
in the shipping case. If available, use the original foam insert or roll up one sheet of
tissue paper (or similar) and place between the spindle coupling and cup assembly (see
Figure K2). This will help prevent damage in shipping.
