5 - 5

11.

Discard the ten o-rings on the spring-action feed-through (1).
New o-rings should be installed when a new or overhauled
module is installed.

5.2

Install the maintainable module

The power should remain off, the various gases should continue to be
isolated external to the GC, and the dome should remain off.

Parts required

An analytical module and a pack of ten o-rings.

Tools required

A 5mm hex or allen wrench.
