Checking The O-Ring - Fantasea Line FA6500 V2 Instruction Manual

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 Fantasea 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.
5. When replacing the O-ring, place it back into the groove starting at one corner and gently
pressing it into the groove all around the housing until it is all seated in the groove and no
part of it is sticking up or out of the groove.
