Removing And Reseating O-Rings - Nikon SB-104 Nikonos Manual

Removing and Reseating O-rings
1 Remove the O-rings from the ir
channels.
-Use a thin plastic card, such as the
S8-104's exposure calcu lation chart , to
remove O-rings.
- Do not use metal items with sharp edges
that may damage the O-rings.
2
Check the O-ri ngs to be su re they are
not damaged.
- Wipe
the O-rings and O-ring channels
with a clean cloth or tissue, and check
them for any damage.
-Do not use a cloth or tissue which
contains lint.
-If O·ring channels are damaged, please
contact a Nikon service center.
3
Apply lubricant to the O-rings.
-With your fingertip, smear a small
amount of O-ring lubricant over the entire
surface of the O-rings.
-This makes the O-rings slip more easily
into the O-ring channels. Do not apply
too much lubricant to the surface of
the O-ring as this will not help make
a better seal, and can cause an
unwanted build-up of excess
lubrication which will attract sand
and dirt.
- Caution
e Feel fo r any damage on the O-rings while
applying the lubricant. If damage is found ,
replace the O·ring with a new one.
e Take care that lint, hair, or other foreign
matter does not remain on the O-rings or
their channels.
e Use O-ring lubricant available from Nikon .
12
If a lubricant made by another
manufacturer is used, it may adversely
affect the O-ring and result in water leaks.
