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.	11
