Installation and Maintenance

Installation:

Wear lint-free gloves (Latex or Nitrile) to prevent skin oils from contaminating the vacuum-facing surfaces.

Inspect the component for any microscopic scratches on sealing surfaces before assembly.

Torque to manufacturer specifications (refer to the specific AMAT system manual for exact N-m values).

Maintenance:

Periodic inspection every 5.000 RF hours or during scheduled chamber PM (Preventative Maintenance).

Clean only with approved high-purity IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) and lint-free wipes.

Replace immediately if any pitting or surface degradation is observed to prevent vacuum leaks.
