-  * When the chamber is almost close, turn the know to close the clamps+  * Check the display indicating the weight lift by the hydraulic system. When the chamber is close, the weight displayed will increase drastically due to the resistance experienced by the hydraulic system. At that point, stop immediately the lifting switch (otherwise, a weight-limit set point might be reached, disabling the hydraulic system) 
 +  * Turn the knob to close the clamps 
 +  * Inspect the clamps and chamber flange (no gaps) to ensure that the chamber is properly sealed
   * Before pumping the chamber down, make sure that the scintillator is properly connected. This can be done by biasing the detector and checking the signals, either from the scalers or with a scope. One should clearly see cosmic rays; if that is not the case, the phototubes are likely miss connected   * Before pumping the chamber down, make sure that the scintillator is properly connected.

-  * In order to pumpdown the chamber, start manual pump to get a pressure below 50 mtorr {{:wiki:ManualValve-fp.jpg?350|Manual valve pump}} +  * Make sure that manual valve of the mechanical pump is opened (the valve **I260RV** will be automatically opened in the next step) {{:wiki:ManualValve-fp.jpg?350|Manual valve pump}} 
-  * Close the manual pump; open PanelMate **S800vac** and go to page 07. Select window **PUMPDOWN STATUS** and click on button **START PUMPDOWN**. The **PUMPDOWN STATUS** and **VENT STATUS** windows should display "PUMPDOWN IN PROGRESS" +  * Open PanelMate **S800vac** and go to page 07. Make sure that the venting valve **I260VV** is closed (see last step of the [[#Vent focal-plane chamber|venting process]] described above)

 +       * After the rough valve **I260RV** is automatically open, the mechanical pump will start pumping. 
 +       * The pressures in the mechanical pump (from **I259PG**) and beam chamber (from **I261PG**) will jump momentarily to very high values. They should go down slowly after few seconds (otherwise, the chamber is not properly closed). 
 +       * When pressure in the chamber (from **I261PG**) gets below 100 mTorr (at least 30 min), **I260RV** will close. Foreline valve **I260FV** will open followed by the turbo gate valve **I260GV**. 
 +  * Wait for few hours until vacuum is good. You can then turn on the ion gauge **I264IG**
