Place the Viscosity Stick on a flat, level surface. Add 5ml of used oil to one reservoir. Add 5ml of new oil to the other reservoir. Tilt the Viscosity Stick so that it rests on the angled base and allow the oil to run down the channels. When the new oil reaches the mid point on the scale, return the Viscosity Stick to the horizontal. MA-K15685-KW Issue 1 Scanned with CamScannerExamine the point reached by the used oil: If the used oil has not reached the scale then the viscosity is higher than recommended. If the used oil has over run the scale then the viscosity is lower than recommended. New oil Used oil Used oil viscosity high.

Add this to the test tube, replace the cap and shake vigorously. Place the tube upright in hot water and allow to stand for 1 hour until the water settles out of the oil sample. Take one test pad from the box and replace the lid. Handle the test pads by the edges to avoid contaminating the surfaces with sweat. Puncture an area 10mm in diameter 10 to 15 times with the pin provided. Flush a pipette with Reagent H. Place the tip in the water layer in the test tube. Squeeze the bulb gently and draw off a sample of the water into the pipette. Scanned with CamScannerB Remove the pipette and wipe off any oil and return a few drops of water to the test tube. Place the next drop of water onto the prepared test pad. oo Allow the pad to stand for 5 minutes. Examine the pad: If there is no yellow colour, or only a very faint yellow patch appears, the contamination is fresh water. If a large yellow patch appears, the contamination is salt water. 6 | A positive result should always be checked by testing another pad.

Confidence Test: Check that the cell is working by conducting a test with no oil added and add 1 drop of water before starting the test. This should give a positive result above 0.02%. l 0 Gq Scanned with CamScannerTBN Setup TBN is determined by measuring the pressure build-up in the cell when a predetermined quantity of oil sample is added to a special reagent. The amount of sample needed is determined by the cell measurement processor and is based on the expected TBN. When using this instrument for the very first time it is necessary to calibrate it for each of the oil grades to be measured. The cell is able to hold calibration data for up to seven different oil grades. The calibration process requires a sample of new oil for each of the grades to be measured. We recommend you use the oil grade name as the "Name" during the cell setup process. The cell should be re-calibrated approximately every six months. The calibration can be checked by using new oil in the TBN test procedure, in place of used oil. The ‘test’ TBN should be close to the new oil TBN. Press Right hand touch pad to switch cell on. Cell will auto power off after 6 minutes inactivity. Press TBN to switch between WATER/TBN mode. Select the oil to be changed or edited by pressing OIL. Once oil is selected, press NEXT to continue.
