 2. Check valve on gas supply bottle is open and regulator set for ~5 psig. Note this will be the case unless work has been done on the gas supply systems, the supply bottle is very low (causing the regulator to read high), or you are changing between 4He and 3He. See instructions below on running 3He. If is suspected that there is air or another contaminant in the gas lines then they should be roughed out and purged three times using the roughing pump on the leak checker. 2.
