xv
Metal Seals must be replaced during routine maintenance or
CAUTION
during any maintenance procedure required. All fasteners must
be installed and torqued per assembly procedure specifications.
Remove Metal Seals carefully with your fingers. Do not use
metal tools for this task, this prevents scratching of any sealing
surfaces. Wear non-powdered, ESD safe Nitride or equivalent
gloves prior to removing or replacing Metal Seals.
All Metal Seals come in clean room condition packages. No
❑
cleaning is required If necessary, Metal Seals can be cleaned
using alcohol or methanol. Wipe all Metal Seals clean with a
lint free cloth before installation to ensure that no foreign
matter is present to impair the seal.
Do not use grease or any other substance on Metal Seals that
❑
will come in contact with the spectrometer.
