PREPARATION OF THE HOUSING
1. Attaching the grips to the housing:
The housing is supplied with two Grips (right and left # 13) these attaches on the sides of the housing with the supplied cap screws and
Hexagonal wrench. we strongly recommend to occasionally remove the grips and lubricate the screws (see Care and Maintenance: of
the housing.)
You can mount the necessary shoes or brackets for your strobe system onto the 1/4"-20 threaded holes provided on top of the hand grips.
The AQUATICA TLC strobe arm system is highly recommended, as it was designed to work with your housing from the onset.
On the bottom part of the housing are three (3) 1/4"-20 threaded holes which can be used for mounting a tripod or or accessory tray. On
the top of the housing is another 1/4"-20 hole for mounting accessories such as a video or focusing light.
Mount your strobe and connect the sync cord to the housing's strobe bulkhead as per your strobe manufacturer recommendation. Please
also read the section titled "Care and Maintenance: of the O-rings" concerning your strobe lubricant. It is recommended to remove electrical
sync cord frequently in order to prevent corrosion built up.
2. Lubricate the Main O-ring Seal:
Before closing up the housing, carefully inspect the Main O-ring seal in its groove located on the rear portion of the housing and check
the sealing surface on the front half of the housing to confirm that it is free from scratches or foreign material. Lubricate the O-ring with
a light coat of Aquatica O-ring Lubricant (Never use Lubricant intended for silicone type O-ring on Aquatica's O-ring, be safe, use only
original Aquatica supplied lubricant).
When replacing the main O-ring back into place, press the entire O-ring over the O-ring groove and start by pushing the O-ring in the
corners. Work your way around the O-ring making sure the O-ring is sitting properly in its groove.
For proper handling and maintenance of O-rings be sure to read the section titled "Care and Maintenance: of the O-rings."
