8 Maintenance 

 

8-2

 

8.1.2 Nebulizer 

Deposits adhere to the tip of the nebulizer when analyzing alkali solvents. Be sure to use a water bubbler 

(option) when analyzing this kind of sample. If there is clogging in the tip of the nebulizer, the sample 
suction speed may reduce significantly and sample suction may even stop. In this case, the nebulizer 
must be replaced or cleaned. 

 

8.1.3 Replacing the Chamber 

Replace the chamber in the following cases. 

 

 

* If a conspicuous amount of dirt accumulates 

 

* If there is a crack or some other damage that causes gas to leak and adversely affect operation 

 

8.1.4 Cleaning Glassware 

Clean the glassware with hydrochloric acid (HCl) 2 standard solution. 

 

 NOTE  

Do NOT perform ultrasonic cleaning on the glassware.
