Removing the API Source Interface
 To remove the API source interface
1. Shut down and vent the system, and let it cool to room temperature.
Venting the mass spectrometer can take several minutes.
2. Unplug the mass spectrometer’s power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Remove the API source housing.
4. Lift up the release latch, grasp the API source interface with your fingers, and then
carefully pull it out of the vacuum manifold (Figure 42).
