Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricantas some other
brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o’rings 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

The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and
attention as your other photographic equipment In addition to
normal maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned
to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested
D Doo N Noott leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods Heat may damage the camera
D Doo N Noott ship the camera in the housing
Before using the housing always check the tightness of the sseett
ssccrreew w in each control knob
Check each ccoonnttrrooll ggllaanndd penetrating the housing to make sure
they are tight There is a slight chance that either could vibrate
loose during travel
Keep the back o’ring clean and lightly lubricated To lubricate
remove the o’ring from the back Put a small amount of lkelite
lubricant on your fingers Draw the o’ring through your fingers
to apply a light coating of lubricant Only apply enough
lubricant to make the o’ring feel slick D Doo N Noott ssttrreettcchh tthhee oo’’rriinngg
This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o’ring from
drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the
housing back is properly sealed
Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean
Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use Dry with a soft cloth Dry lens port to eliminate
water spotting
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution rinse and dry before storage When storing the
housing remove the back o’ring lightly lubricate and place in a
plastic bag Place the plastic bag with o’ring inside the housing
for safe keeping
