Maintaining the Split/Splitless Inlet

To Replace the Filter in the Split Vent Trap for the Split/Splitless Inlet

Maintaining Your GC

Figure 23.

Slide trap assembly to expose the filter

Remove the old filter cartridge and two O-rings.

Verify the new O-rings are seated properly on the new filter cartridge.

Install the new filter cartridge then reassemble the trap using your fingers to fully tighten
the knurled nut. The nut should thread easily.

If the knurled nut does not thread easily, loosen, reassemble the 2 parts of the trap, and
thread again. Do not force it.

The GC maintenance wizard will perform checks at the appropriate times, including

Leak &

Restriction

tests, and will automatically reset the maintenance counters.

Install the pneumatics cover.
