Rear Plate O-rings
Smart Grip O-ring
Optic O-rings
4)
To check O-rings for damage, place the O-ring between the index finger and thumb.
Then pull the O-ring through your fingers, feeling for any debris or wear.
5)
If O-rings are dirty, it is best to replace them. Washing dirty O-rings with soap and
water is not recommended. Soap breaks down the lubricants and will compromise
the integrity of the seal.
6)
Properly greased O-rings will help maintain sealing integrity and minimize O-ring
degradation. Use enough grease to lubricate the O-ring thoroughly, but not so much
that it will attract additional debris.
7)
Clean the groove with a lint free swab or the folded edge of a paper towel.
8)
All of the front optic ports for the housing also utilize two O-ring seals. Also check
these seals every time the optic is removed.

Other Maintenance
•
CLEAN THE CONNECTORS!!! - Pay special attention to the condition of the
connectors at the end of the cables. Equally important is the female receptacle in
the battery pod. These metal connectors should “shine like a new penny.”
•
Apply a light film of O-ring grease to cables and connectors to prevent pre-mature
degradation.
•
We highly recommend a factory annual service to maintain proper operation of
your underwater video equipment.
