DO NOT use hose or spring clamps to
secure water hoses to laser tube spouts.
Compression from clamping can cause
glass spout to crack during operation.

priming laser tube.

8. Carefully install inlet and outlet water hoses
over appropriate glass spouts marked INLET
and OUTLET until barbed-end is fully cov-
ered by hose.
Note: Water-based lubricant may be applied
to exterior of spout to aid installation. DO
NOT apply any lubricant to interior of spout
where it will enter water chiller system.
IMPORTANT: If water hose must be removed
from laser tube, DO NOT attempt to pull hose
directly off of spout. Doing so could break
glass water spout. Cut off water hose near
end of spout and carefully slit remaining
hose segment with utility knife until it can be
removed.
9. Rotate and center laser tube in saddles so
inlet spout is pointed down, and outlet spout
is pointed up, as shown in
Figure 99.
10. G0913/G0914 Only: Repeat Steps 1–9 on
secondary laser tube.
Note: Laser tube anode and cathode ends
will be reversed in figures.
11. Verify water chiller system inlet and outlet
hoses are connected to auxiliary systems
connection panel according to
Installing
Water Chiller System on Page 23.
Tip:
If you are replacing laser tube, replace
distilled water in water chiller system as well.
This will prevent accumulation of contami-
nants in laser tube.
12. Turn water chiller system ON and allow sys-
tem to run. DO NOT turn
ON laser.
13. Verify laser tube cooling chambers fill with
water and no leaks are visible throughout
water chiller system.
14. Wait one minute for water to flow through
system, then slowly rotate laser tube while
slightly raising tube at cathode-end to release
air bubbles.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT tap on laser tube to
release air bubbles. Air bubbles will dissipate
from cooling chambers once tube begins to
warm up during first use.
15. Once all large air bubbles are released, laser
tube is primed with water (see
Figure 100).
