18. Twist the end of the vacuum interlock handle and flip the swing handle up so that it rests
next to the vacuum interlock knob location. Then twist the end again to hold it in place.
CAUTION INSTRUMENT DAMAGE: Do not push the handle all the way up or you will
open the interior ball valve, which will cause you to lose vacuum and possibly damage the
instrument.
ATTENTION DOMMAGES À L'INSTRUMENT : ne relevez pas totalement la poignée ou vous
ouvrirez le robinet à tournant sphérique intérieur, ce qui entraînera une perte de vide et de
possibles dommages à l'instrument.
19. Remove the tool from the instrument.
20. Reattach the vacuum interlock knob.
Tip To prevent leaks in the vacuum interlock, we recommend that you leave the
vacuum interlock knob attached to the instrument, except when you are removing or
inserting the ion source cartridge. After you reattach the knob, press the Evacuate
button will also eliminate any air inside the vacuum interlock.
21. For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes for the ion source to heat up to the
same temperature as the inside of the instrument. Otherwise, the masses or intensities
may drift during operation.
