Maintenance
The turbo-molecular drag pump and diaphragm pumps require periodic mainte-
nance. Please see the individual operator manuals of these instruments (included
in the shipping crate) for instructions.
As the diaphragm pump ages, the rates at which it will pump H and O change by
different amounts. This will change the H/O partial pressure ratio during cleaning,
which can affect the plasma cleaning rate. Because of this, it is important to main-
tain the diaphragm pump properly.
Removing the Cabinet Covers
1.
Shut off the power to the system and unplug the power cord. The power
