1 Unload the HPLC-Chip
2 Press the cover release button once. When the lock opens, pull the front
panel down.
3 Unlock the stages assembly and flip it out.
4 Remove the capillary cover (A) and open the thumb screw of the strain
relief (B). See Figure 50.
5 Loosen the slotted PEEK fitting using the Cube wrench and pull the
capillary out. See Figure 51.
Do this procedure only if the Q-TOF LC/MS is mounted on the MS or is sitting flat on
a table because the center of gravity shifts, and the instrument will tip over without
adequate support.
