Control Maintenance - continued
Press and release the push button
several times until the lube is worked
up into the o-ring.
After completing this procedure, close
the housing and submerge it in water
without the camera i nside.
Check the control for watertightness.
Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service
with minimal maintenance.
In the unlikely event one of the control shafts sticks or becomes difficult to
operate, you can remove the control from the housing and lubricate it, or
return the housing to Ikelite for maintenance.
Your housing may feature both round and hex style control glands. To
remove a control in a round style gland, Diagram J, page 25, loosen the
set screw in the knob (hex head wrench required); remove the knob. If there
is salt or dirt build-up on the exposed control shaft, clean the shaft. Open
the housing and gently slide the control shaft out of the control gland. Clean
and lightly lubricate the shaft and o-rings, including the large end of the
shaft.
If there is a shutter spring on the Control Shaft, make sure it is in its proper
position. Rotate the Shaft back and forth slightly to aid installation back into
the Control Gland. Replace the knob with the Set Screw over the Control
Flat. The Set Screw in the knob should be tightened down against the flat
area on the Control Shaft so the knob does not turn on the shaft.
