DAMAGED, DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. A spare O-ring is supplied with your housing, or a replacement O-ring can be obtained from Fantasea. If the O-ring is contaminated or suspected of being contaminated, clean it with a cotton cloth that is free of all chemicals or contamination. - Page 10 Replace the lid: Remember to pull the pressure release plug all the way out while closing the lid, otherwise the air cannot escape. Squeeze the lid closed all the way, you will hear the hiss of air being expelled. Screw home the pressure release plug: There is no need to excessively tighten this plug.
