Lubricant
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use
only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause the main
housing o-ring to swell and not seal properly.
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-ring or
lubricate a sticky control. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean
cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper
sealing.
CAUTI ON:
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause
the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to swell.
Housing Maintenance
In addition to normal maintenance, we recommend that the housing be
returned to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
- Do not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged
periods. Heat may damage the camera.
- Do not ship the camera in the housing.
- Keep the main housing o-ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate,
remove the o-ring from the back.
NOTE: Housing may be hard to open and close if the main housing
o-ring is not properly lubricated.
- Keep the area where the o-ring fits and the sealing surface of the
housing clean.
- If removing a housing push button, do not re-use the E-clip. Contact
Ikelite for replacement E-clips (part 0319.12).
- Leave housing latch in the open position when not using the housing for
extended periods.
