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.

Installing the Zoom Clamp

The two halves of the Zoom Clamp are held together by springs. This allows the Zoom Clamp to be stretched to fit over the zoom grip on different diameter lenses. The Zoom Clamp should fit tight around the lenses zoom grip so that it does not slip when using it to rotate the camera’s zoom ring. If the Clamp is loose, adhere the thin black rubber strips to the inside of each half of the Zoom Clamp as shown above. The Zoom Clamp has two extended ears with grooves. These grooves accept the Ribs on Gear Sleeve.
