3. Be sure the TSQ 8000 Evo instrument’s feet fit securely on the workbench. See
for the dimensions of the feet on the bottom of the instrument.
4. Supply a 1-in. i.d. hose to the building exhaust air system, an oil mist filter, or other
scrubbing device. The pump exhaust contains carrier gas, solvents, analytes, and a small
amount of oil vapor. These materials may be flammable, poisonous, or corrosive. Do not
allow the exhaust from the foreline pump, which includes your analytes, to accumulate to
unsafe levels in your laboratory. Consult your local Environmental and Safety Regulations
for information about how to properly exhaust fumes from your laboratory.
5. Make sure you have at least 91 cm (3 ft.) of clearance above the system. This space allows
room for optional accessories (such as autosamplers) and proper heat dissipation.
6. Make sure your workbench can support a standard TSQ 8000 Evo system. Keep in mind,
additional instruments add to the total weight.

Tip
Thermo Fisher Scientific requires that all six of the instrument's feet be positioned on
a bench. Overhang of the front, the back, or both ends of the instrument off the bench
front or back is acceptable. If the depth of your bench is less than the distance between the
factory-installed feet, please contact the factory ([email protected])
for your other options of positioning the instrument on such a narrow bench.
