Maintenance.
Dry zip maintenance.
A wrong maintenance of the dry zip may cause a premature decay or malfunctio-
ning of the dry suit’s zip.
Carry out regular maintenance or anytime you perceive resistance in the dry zip
sliding. It is advisable to carry out this procedure both before and immediately
after a long inactivity period of the dry suit.
Before starting maintenance, make sure that there aren’t any salt debris or other
material on the zip. Wash with fresh water and let dry the dry suit before carrying
out maintenance.
Do not use materials which may leave fiber debris on the zip’s metallic part (for
example absorbent cotton).
Put a small quantity of silicon lubricant for zippers in the cavity on both sides of
the zip and let it slide twice, so that the lubricant is well distributed in the inner
zip’s teeth.
Attention: do not exceed in the quantity of lubricant.
