Loading the Sample Tray and/or Carousel
G1883: Press Carousel Advance and Scroll until the carousel rotates to the
desired position.
G1289/G1290: Press Advance Tray, {position+4}, and Enter to move the
desired loading position to the very front of the sample tray.
If you are using 10 ml vials, be sure to place inserts into the spaces in the oven
carousel. Be sure the inserts are placed in the carousel with the closed end
down (see Figure 10). Finally, be sure to set the vial-size switch on the back of
the horizontal loader to the proper size. Using the cursor keys, advance tray
positions one-by-one while adding vials and inserts until all samples are loaded
into the tray.

When loading a tray (if equipped) or carousel:
• Do not mix 10 ml and 20 ml vials in a tray, if equipped.
• Be sure to insert the oven adapters with the closed end down.
• To remove oven adapters, bend a large paper clip to make a hook and
insert the hook into the lip on the inside of the adapter.
WARNING Oven adapters are hot when first removed. Place them on a heat-resistant
surface. Do not touch them with bare hands until they are cooled.
