3 In order to avoid deformation of the O-ring when the Case is not

 

used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the Case, apply a

 

thin coat of the special grease, and store the O-ring in a clean

 

plastic bag. For reuse, confirm that the O-ring is free of damage

 

and cracks, that it has sufficient elasticity, that the surface is

 

free of stickiness and other abnormalities, and use it after

 

applying a thin coat of the special grease. Excessive application

 

of grease does not improve the waterproof function or the

 

permissible withstand pressure. It will cause sand and dust to

 

adhere more easily. A thin, uniform coat produces the best

result.
4The O-ring is a consumable part. Replace it at least once a year.

5Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the storage conditions. Replace the O-ring immediately with a new one if it shows signs of damage, crack or loss of elasticity.
