Figure 5-4  Oil Mist Filter Assembly

4.

Remove the top cover, and discard the odor filter.

Note: 

The odor filter will likely stick to the cover.

5.

Pull upward on the oil mist filter, removing and discarding it along with its O-ring.

6.

Slip the new O-ring over the support post in the bottom of the filter housing, then 
press the new oil mist filter on top.

7.

Refit the top cover, securing it with the four screws.

8.

Reattach the exhaust hose to the NW25 clamp.

9.

Evacuate the system by selecting 

Options > Pump

 from the Tune window.

5.2.5  Cleaning the Source Assembly

Clean the sample cone and cone gas nozzle when they are visibly fouled, or when you 
eliminate LC and sample-related causes for decreased signal intensity. When cleaning 
these parts fails to increase signal sensitivity, also clean the extraction lens, hexapole, and 
ion block.

Required Materials

Lint-free cotton or powder-free nitrile gloves

6-in. forceps or needle-nose pliers

2.5-mm hex wrench

3-mm hex wrench

6 mm-hex wrench
