To Open the Analyzer Chamber
150 5977C GC/MSD Operating Manual
The bottom thumbscrew on the analyzer side plate should be unfastened
during normal use. It is only fastened during shipping. The top thumbscrew
on the front side plate should only be fastened if hydrogen or other
flammable or toxic substances are used for carrier gas, or during CI
operation.

In the next step, if you feel resistance, stop. Do not try to force the side plate
open. Verify that the MSD is vented. Verify that both the front and rear side
plate screws are completely loose.
