The analysis system may contain two oil-based pumps, two oil-free pumps, or one of each type. A high-vacuum pump is installed for each oil-free pump.
Access the Pumps

- Use the two hand grips in the front panel to pull away from the magnetic latches, then lift and remove the panel.
- The pumps are housed on a shelf on the bottom of the analyzer.
