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.

1. Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk.
To open, push Lid Snap Lock
forward and lift as shown.
Keep pressure on the Lid
Snap so it does not fly open
quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of
spring tension once they go over center, have a firm grip on the
lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

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.
