Removing the seals from the source enclosure and probe
adjuster assembly

Required materials:

•

Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

•

Flat-blade screwdriver

•

O-ring removal kit

To remove the seals from the source enclosure and probe adjuster
assembly

1. Use the O-ring removal kit to carefully remove the probe adjuster

assembly probe seal from the probe adjuster assembly (see

page 62

2. Use the O-ring removal kit to carefully remove the following seals from

the source enclosure:
•

Source enclosure housing seal

•

Source enclosure side flange seal

Warning:

The source components can be contaminated with

biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always wear

chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves while performing this

procedure.
