11 Push the MS tail heater assembly back a few millimeters. A magnet will
hold the heater assembly away from the 9000 GC/MS Tail.

If the ferrule becomes stuck, press a pointed object, like a paper clip, into
the ferrule release hole at the end of the transfer line.
13 Replace the gasket. (See “To Replace an Intuvo 9000 GC Gasket” on
page 65.)
14 Carefully slide the 9000 GC/MS Tail into the GC/MS interface, and gently
place the click and run connection into the bus connection.
15 Check that the 9000 GC/MS Tail click and run fitting sits flat against the
gasket in the bus connection.
