Servicing Recommendations

It is recommended that the housing be sent to Ikelite or an authorized
service center annually for routine service and maintenance. Service
may be required more or less frequently depending on care and use.

Lubricating Controls

The housing's controls may need to be lubricated if they become
particularly difficult to use or if the o-rings have dried out during longer
periods of storage.
There will be some breaking force required to move the controls
initially after the housing has been in storage for long periods of time.
Remove controls for lubrication only if they continue to stick after
applying a small amount of lubricant to the exposed portion of the
shafts and working them many times.
