Checking The O-Ring - Fantasea Line FA6000 Instruction Manual

3. Carefully open the back side of the housing.
4. Note that when opening the housing for the first time or when opening it after airplane trips,
increased resistance might be encountered. Therefore, it is important not to lock the housing
and to leave it slightly open when transporting by air.

CHECKING THE O-RING

1. Prior to each closure of the housing, the back door black O-ring should be visually inspected.
If there is any debris present, including dirt, sand, dust, hair or any other matter, it must be
cleaned to ensure a proper watertight seal.
2. In order to clean the black O-ring, first remove it from the housing:
a. Insert the O-ring remover between the black O-ring and the groove it is
b. Slip the tip of the inserted O-ring remover below the black O-ring, while making sure
c. Carefully hold the O-ring with your fingertips in order to remove it from the groove.
3. Cleaning the O-ring is a simple matter of wiping it with a damp, soft cloth to remove the
foreign matter. Be careful the cloth you use does not leave any of its own material behind
as this can also affect the effectiveness of the seal.
4. Apply a slight layer of silicone grease on the black O-ring. Please note that the amount of
lubrication required on the O-ring is only enough to allow it to slip into place without friction,
so it does not twist or become dislodged. More grease is not necessarily better, and in some
cases might interfere with the watertight seal of the housing.
