Maintenance
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use
only
Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause the main
housing o-ring to swell and not seal properly.
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-ring or
lubricate a sticky control. 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.
CAUTION:
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause
the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to swell.
Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse and
gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean, use a
mild soap solution or lens cleaner. It is NOT necessary to remove the
Port for cleaning. Do not rinse the inside the Port.
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.

When storing the housing, remove the main housing o-ring. Lightly
lubricate the o-ring until it appears shiny and place in a small resealable
plastic bag. Use only Ikelite lubricant. Place the bag inside the housing
and store until needed.
