The analyzers, GC/MSD interface, and other components in the analyzer
chamber operate at very high temperatures. Do not touch any part until you
are sure it is cool.
Always wear clean gloves to prevent contamination when working in the
analyzer chamber
Make sure you use an antistatic wrist strap and take other antistatic
precautions before touching analyzer components.
When disconnecting leads, pull on the connectors, not the wires.
