Maintaining Your GC 81
Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with dirt and skin oils.
5 Wearing gloves, inspect the O-ring and replace, if necessary. See “To Change the O-Ring
on the Purged Packed Inlet” on page 79.
6 Wearing gloves, grasp the flared end (top) of the replacement glass liner with tweezers and
install it in the inlet. If the glass liner does not seat properly because a capillary column is
installed, remove the column, install the glass liner, and replace the column. See “To Install
a Capillary Column with the Purged Packed Inlet” on page 70.
7 Install the top insert assembly and hand-tighten firmly.

Restriction tests, and will automatically reset the maintenance counters.
