Attaching The Lens Port - Ikelite 6973.06 Manual

6. Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line
around the back of the housing. There will be a small, even gap
around the housing between the housing back and the housing
front.

Attaching the Lens Port

A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation.
Never submerge the housing without a lens port attached.
1. Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the Port Base. When properly
lubricated, the o-ring should have an even, slightly shiny
appearance. Wipe off any excess lubricant. Lubricant prevents the
o-ring from rolling or extruding; it is not a sealing mechanism.
2. If using an optional Gear Sleeve, place it in the Port Base with the
teeth side facing away from the housing.
