To connect the forepump to the LCQ Fleet or LXQ MS detector
1. To connect the vacuum hose to the MS detector:
a. Place the 41-mm (1.6-in.) ID centering ring (P/N 00108-02-00005) on the flange of
the vacuum port located on the rear panel of the MS detector.
b. Using the NW 32/40 swing clamp (00108-02-00004), secure the end the vacuum
