Dual Handle Tray #9523.12

Lubricants

1. 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.

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.

Maintenance

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.

1.

Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for

2.

prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.

Do Not ship the camera in the housing.

3.

Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the set

 

screw in each control knob.

 

Check each control gland penetrating the housing to make sure

 

they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate

4.

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. Do Not stretch the o’ring.

 

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

5.

housing back is properly sealed.

Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of

6.

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.

 

CAUTION

 

Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can

 

cause the plastic housing to crack.
