Control Maintenance
Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service with
minimal maintenance.
Push button controls normally require no maintenance other than rinsing
in freshwater after saltwater use. Depress each push button in fresh
water several times to eliminate trapped saltwater. If a push button control
becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the housing in
luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes, operate the push button. If this
does not correct the problem, return the housing to Ikelite for maintenance.
If you are on a trip and unable to return the housing immediately, a push
button may be lubricated by pressing and holding the push button all the
way in. Then, use your finger or other small non-metal object to place a
small amount of lube at the base of the shaft inside the housing.
Press and release the push button
several times until the lube is worked
up into the o-ring.
After completing this procedure, close
the housing and submerge it in water
without the camera inside.
Check the
control for watertightness.
