Some of the controls have long shafts and feature a hex style control
gland. These controls can be pulled out, exposing the shaft.

Lubricate shaft
Pull out knob
to expose shaft
To lubricate the control, gently pull on the knob until the stainless steel
shaft is exposed. Lightly lubricate the shaft, then move the shaft in
and out several times. This will lubricate the x-ring in the Ikelite control
gland. This should be done before using the housing after a prolonged
storage period, or once a week when the housing is in constant use.
Some of the controls have a short shaft and cannot be pulled out
exposing the shaft for lubrication. In the unlikely event one of these
controls sticks or becomes difficult to operate, you can remove the
control from the housing and lubricate it, or return the housing to
Ikelite for service. To remove the control, loosen the set screw in the
knob (hex head wrench required); remove the knob.
