Maintaining the Vacuum System
Periodic maintenance
As listed in Table 9, some maintenance tasks for the vacuum
system must be performed periodically. These include:
• Checking the foreline pump fluid color and level (every week)
• Checking the calibration vial(s) (every 6 months)
• Replacing the foreline pump oil and oil mist filter (every 6
months or as needed)
Failure to perform these tasks as scheduled can result in
decreased instrument performance. It can also result in damage
to your instrument.
Other procedures
Tasks such as replacing an ion vacuum gauge should be
performed only when needed by a certified Agilent service
personnel. See the Agilent 7200 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF GC/MS
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual and see the online
help in the MassHunter WorkStation software for symptoms
that indicate this type of maintenance is required.
