of both surfaces. Wipe off the O-ring and determine is if is still useable or not.
Installing O-ring
After checking and confirming that the O-ring groove is clean and not damaged, using your fingertips, apply a thin uniform film of Inon grease on the O-ring. Install the O-ring in the groove, making sure that it is seated uniformly and not twisted. Then add a little extra grease to the O-ring, and liberally grease O-ring contact surface on the battery box. A little extra grease is necessary due to friction when
screwing down the battery box cap. Slowly screw down the battery box cap, making sure you don’t feel any excessive resistance, which could mean the O-ring is binding or bearing too much friction.
When the battery box cap is fully screwed down and seated on the O-ring surface, look at the O-ring through the transparent edge of the cap. You should see a continuous, uniform contact line (the “witness line”) between the cap and O-ring. If the contact line is not uniform, or twisted, contaminated with hair, lint or sand etc. there is a good chance the strobe will flood. Remove cap, re-seat O-ring and/or remove contaminants as necessary.
