Maintenance
The Ikelite 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. D o Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2. 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
loose during travel.
4. Keep the back and port o'ring clean and lightly lubricated. To
lubricate remove the o'ring from the back. Put a small amount
of Ikelite 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 housing back is properly sealed.
5. Keep the area where the o'ring fits and the sealing surface clean.
6. Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use. Depress push buttons several times during rinse.
Dry with a soft cloth. Dry port to eliminate water spotting.
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution, rinse and dry.
CAUTIO N: Never use spray lubricants as the propellant
ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.
