2. Get the source exchange tool out of the VPI MS Toolkit that shipped with your
ISQ 7000 instrument. It is used to remove and insert the ion source cartridge through the
vacuum interlock. The tool has a large black handle on one end and a stainless steel barrel
at the other. On the black handle is a diagram describing how to insert and remove the
ion source cartridge from the instrument using the tool. The stainless steel barrel is
engraved with a track and the black handle moves up and over the track, depending on
whether you are removing or installing an ion source cartridge.

3. Grasp the handle of the source exchange tool in one hand and use your other hand to pull
the metal barrel out and away from the handle so that tool is fully extended.
