5 Verify that the MSD power cord is plugged into a grounded building’s main
receptacle.
6 Turn on the MSD by pressing the On/Off switch on the front of the MSD.
7 Press lightly on the side board to ensure a correct seal. Press on the metal
box on the side board.
8 Close the vent valve when it makes a hissing sound. (See Figure 39.)

large air leak in your system,
probably at the side plate seal, the interface column nut, or the vent valve.

10 In the Instrument Control view, from the Instrument menu, select MS Vacuum
