WARNING! Ionizing Radiation Hazard, Biohazard, or Toxic Chemical Hazard.
Do not operate the mass spectrometer if the source exhaust drain and
roughing pump exhaust hoses are not properly connected to the laboratory
ventilation system. Perform a regular check of the exhaust tubing to make
sure that there are no leaks. The use of mass spectrometers without proper
system ventilation might constitute a health hazard and might result in serious
injury.
