1. The photo on the left shows the names of parts of the rotary pump.

  

 

2. Automatically stop the GC/MS.
  Wait until the "system shutdown" message appears.

  

 

3. After the system shuts down, wait about 10 minutes.
  CAUTION: Note that, immediately after the system has shut down, the rotary pump oil is hot and might cause burns.

  

 

4. After allowing the oil to cool down, open the drain plug to drain the oil.
  CAUTION: Oil may fly out. So, prepare an appropriate tray or plastic bag.

  

 

5. When oil stops draining from the drain port, close the drain plug temporarily.

  

 

6. Click the [Vacuum Control] icon on the [Real Time] assistant bar.

  When a message appears saying "The column may be damaged if you start the vacuum pump while the flow controller is OFF. Do you want to start the pump?", click "Yes".
  In this state, wait for about 5 to 10 seconds.
  CAUTION: Oil mist sometimes exits the exhaust port. If this happens, immediately shut down the system, and proceed to Step 9.

  

 

9. Click the [Stop] button.

  

 

10. Open the drain plug again to drain any remaining oil.
