3 Intuvo 9000 GC Column Maintenance
11 Replace the gasket with a new gasket rated for the maximum column
temperature expected with your method. (See “To Replace an Intuvo 9000
GC Gasket” on page 65.)
12 Verify that all Intuvo gaskets in the flow path are rated for the maximum
column temperature expected with your method. Replace any gaskets that
have a lower temperature rating with one that has a temperature rating
that is compatible with your method.
13 Place the column’s click and run connectors into the single column (right)
bus fitting. See the GC manual for installing 2 columns in the GC.
14 Insert the column's attached Intuvo SmartID Key into the lower USB
connection shown.
15 Secure the new column by rotating the 1 c tab of the 4 column clamps over
the column retaining ring using the Intuvo torque driver.
16 Verify that the column’s click and run fittings sit flat against the gasket.
17 Loosely install the two compression bolts.
18 Tighten the compression bolts until you hear a click from the Intuvo
torque driver.
19 Close the column door.
20 Install the bus door.
21 Close the GC front door.
Use the Intuvo torque driver to tighten the compression bolt until you hear one click.
Over-tightening can damage the flow path, strip the fittings, and cause leaks.
