4. Visually   and   physically   check   O-ring   by   passing   through   finger   tips,   feeling   for   cuts, 

cracks or any other defects. Such defects will cause water leakage, so be sure to replace 

the O-ring. Be careful not to stretch or pull the O-rings too much.

5. Squeeze a rice grain sized bead of silicone grease on your thumb and forefinger. Taking 

care not to pull or stretch the O-ring too much, uniformly spread grease on O-ring. Too 

little grease may cause the O-ring to twist in the groove, possibly causing water leakage.

6. Place O-ring in the O-ring Groove, making sure that it is uniform, not twisted or bulging 

out,  possibly  causing  water  leakage.   When  closing  back   cover,  visually check  O-ring 

surface, tracing a finger over it to making sure no hair, lint or other contaminants are 

attached.
