CAUTION!
Do not operate this instrument until you’ve removed dust plugs from SAMPLE and
EXHAUST ports on the rear panel. (Plugs were inserted into the rear panel pneumatic
fittings to prevent dust from getting into the analyzer. It is recommended that these
dust plugs be stored for future use such as shipping or storage.
Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with PTFE (Teflon) or glass
materials. They should not come in contact with FEP or stainless steel materials.
