Maintenance Procedures

Cleaning the ion block assembly

Clean the ion block assembly if cleaning the sample cone, cone gas nozzle, and

extraction cone fails to increase signal sensitivity.

Disassembling the source ion block assembly

Required materials

•

Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

•

Combined 2.5-mm Allen wrench and cone extraction tool

•

O-ring removal kit

•

Needle-nose pliers

To disassemble the ion block assembly

1. Remove the ion block assembly from the source assembly (see

page 4-37

2. Ensure that the isolation valve is closed.

Warning:

The ion block assembly can be contaminated with

biohazardous and/or toxic materials. Always wear

chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves to perform this procedure.
