MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! 

Allowing saltwater and contaminants to dry on housing can damage functions and

wipe away water.

 

A complete housing overhaul is recommend once every year.

1. After use in salt water, wash off salt and other contaminants by soaking empty Housing, 

with Lens Port attached, thoroughly in a bucket of fresh water (lukewarm) for 10 to 20 

minutes.

2. Manipulate   all   buttons   and   dials   several   times   to   flush   out   salt   deposits   and   other 

contaminants.

3. Wipe any water off housing with a soft dry cloth.

4. Remove Lens Port and open Back Cover.

Before conducting grease-up of the housing Back Cover and Lens Port O-rings, thoroughly 

clean O-ring grooves (Back Cover and Lens Port), and O-ring contact surfaces (Housing). 

Be sure to also apply a thin layer of grease to contact surfaces.

4. Visually and  physically check O-rings  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.
