Maintenance - Ikelite 6973.03 Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

Lens Port
After use, rinse and gently dry the outside lens port with a non-abrasive
cloth to avoid water spotting. Do not rinse inside the Port. To clean, use
a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. It is NOT necessary to remove the
Port for cleaning.
Do not use Rain-X, alcohol, window cleaner, or any other cleaning
solution on the Lens Port.
Lubricant
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use
only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause o-rings to
swell and not seal properly.
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the Port Base 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, hair 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. Use
Ikelite lubricant only.
