Read and understand the following cautions that are specific to the shutdown of the mass
spectrometry system or to the removal of parts for cleaning.
CAUTION If you must turn off the mass spectrometer in an emergency, turn off the
main power switch located on the right-side power panel. This switch turns off all
power to the mass spectrometer, including the forepump, without harming components
within the system. However, do not use this method as part of the standard shutdown
procedure. Instead, see “Shutting Down the Mass Spectrometer Completely” on page 49.
To turn off the LC, autosampler, and data system computer in an emergency, use their
respective on/off switch or button.
CAUTION To avoid an electrical shock, be sure to follow the instructions in“Shutting
Down the Mass Spectrometer Completely” on page 49.
CAUTION Do not turn the instrument on if you suspect that it has incurred any kind of
electrical damage. Instead, disconnect the power supply cord and contact Thermo Fisher
Scientific technical support for a product evaluation. Do not attempt to use the
instrument until it has been evaluated. (Electrical damage might have occurred if the
system shows visible signs of damage or has been transported under severe stress.)
CAUTION Do not disconnect the power supply cord from the mass spectrometer while
the other end is still plugged into the electrical outlet.
CAUTION Do not place any objects (for example, the syringe pump or other containers
with liquids) on top of the instrument, unless instructed to in the documentation.
Leaking liquids might contact the electronic components and cause an electrical short
circuit.
CAUTION Hot surface. Allow heated components to cool to room temperature
(approximately 20 minutes) before servicing them.
