8. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws on the right side of 

the inner front panel. One screw is at the top right corner; the other is at the 
bottom right corner (see 

Figure 5-6

).

9. Insert a screwdriver into the opening located beneath the top screw hole (see 

Figure 5-6

). Push the screwdriver in until the right-side panel slides back 

about 1/2 inch. 

To prevent scratches or other damage to the panel, do not 

let the panel fall onto the workbench. 

10. Remove the right-side panel from the system and set it aside.

Reinstalling the Right-Side Panel

1. Hold the panel against the right side of the system. Engage the small tabs on 

the top and bottom of the panel with the slots in the chassis. Pull the panel 
forward until it locks into place.

2. Replace the two Phillips screws on the inner front panel.

3. Slide the drip tray out about halfway.

4. Carefully align the lower trim panel with the edges of the instrument, and then 

gently push the panel into place.

5. Reinstall the waste bottle and collection vessel. 

6. Reconnect the gas source and turn on the gas supply.

7. Turn on the ASE 150 main power switch.
