Maintenance Schedule and Supplies
Guidelines
Thermo Scientific TSQ Altis, Quantis, and Fortis Hardware Manual 89
Guidelines
These guidelines prepare you to do maintenance efficiently.
• Always wear a new pair of lint- and powder-free gloves when handling internal
components. Never reuse gloves after you remove them because the surface contaminants
on them recontaminate clean parts.
• Always place the components on a clean, lint-free work surface.
• Have nearby the necessary tools, supplies, and replacement parts (when applicable).
• Never overtighten a screw or use excessive force.
Tools and Supplies
The MS requires few tools to perform routine maintenance procedures. You can remove and
disassemble many of the components by hand.
Table 15 lists the necessary chemicals, tools,
and equipment for maintaining the instrument. (One of the tools is in the TSQ Source
Installation Kit.) In addition, you can use the contents of the PM Cleaning Kit
(P/N 70111-62112).
IMPORTANT Make sure that you do not introduce any scratches or surface abrasions while
handling the API source interface components. Even small scratches can affect performance
if they are close to the ion transmission path. Avoid using tools, such as metal pliers, that
might scratch these components.
Note Before you continue, read the precautions in “Special Notices, Symbols, and
Cautions,” xvi .
CAUTION To prevent corrosion, do not use nitric acid to clean metal parts.
