104 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual
4 General Maintenance
4 Use a clean, lint-free cloth or glove to wipe away excess grease. If the
O-ring looks shiny, there is too much grease on it.
5 Close the analyzer chamber.
6 Repeat this procedure for the other analyzer chamber.
7 Pump down the MS. See the Agilent 7000 Series Triple Quad GC/MS
Operation Manual.
Do not use anything except the recommended vacuum grease. Excess grease can trap
air and dirt. Grease on surfaces of the O-ring other than the exposed surface can trap
air, resulting in air spikes during operation.
