Xit 404’S TRIPOD BRACKET MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY
www.xit404.com
Revsion 2.0 - JUL2013
Maintenance Instructions for all Xit 404 Tripod Brackets:
Proper maintenance of the Tripod Bracket and its parts will ensure a long life and is required for warranty coverage. This includes rinsing in fresh water
after each dive, removing any salt build-up when found, disassembling the tripod light bracket from the camera housing after each dive trip and cleaning
in fresh water. Use a salt remover as needed to clean any deposits.
The Ball Adaptors have been locked to the tripod light bracket using Red Locktite and should not be removed. However regularly inspect to ensure they
are tight. If they become loose then remove, clean and reapply Red Locktite (or a similar thread lock compound). Check the O-Ring for wear or cracking
and replace as needed.
We recommend liberal use of a corrosion inhibitor (such as Lanapro, available from Xit 404) be applied to screw threads. Failure to use a corrosion
inhibitor may damage your camera housing.
Warranty Policy for all Tripod Brackets:
Tripod Brackets are warranted against manufacturer defects for 1 year starting from date of purchase. The warranty is non-transferrable and does not cover
failures from abuse or misuse. Warranty does not apply to O-rings and mounting hardware kits. If Xit 404 determines that the equipment was damaged due
to abuse or misuse the warranty is no longer valid. Warranty is voided if the product is not properly maintained in accordance with Xit 404 instructions. Proof
of purchase from an authorized dealer is required for all warranty claims.
A special note about corrosion
Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Brass, and other metals interact with each other to a greater or lesser degree in the presence of water. Liberal use of a corrosion
inhibitor between these metals will help minimize corrosion. Xit 404 also coats its metal parts to help minimize corrosion - this just slows it down but does not
stop it. Direct contact between these metals will cause corrosion and Xit 404 does not warrant against this effect. This can happen due to wear, chipped coatings,
scratches, or dents in the coatings caused from normal use and/or lack of a corrosion inhibitor. Through proper care and maintenance you can slow corrosion
significantly and prolong your underwater gear.
