Lubricants

1.Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant as some other brands may cause the o'ring to swell and not seal properly.

2.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.

CAUTION

Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.
