Procedure for Gasket Maintenance:
1.
Place the lid on a firm non-slip level surface.
2.
The gasket can be extracted using a gasket extractor tool (make
sure the tool has no sharp edges). Alternatively use the flat
surface of your thumbs to gently stretch the gasket on two faces
[Figure 2] thus making a small loop protruding a few mm. The
loop can then be grasped between finger and thumb, to pull the
gasket over the lip.
3.
Clean the seal recess (the square groove where the gasket sits)
with a cotton bud.
4.
Inspect the gasket all the way round its surface for damage such
as cuts tears or contamination. This should be done visually and
also by feeling the surface texture between finger and thumb.
5.
IF THE GASKET IS DAMAGED OR SUSPECTED OF
BEING DAMAGED, DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. A spare
gasket is supplied with your housing, or a replacement gasket
can be obtained from Fantasea. If the gasket is contaminated or
suspected of being contaminated, clean it with a cotton cloth
that is free of all chemicals or contamination. After cleaning
inspect the gasket again.
6.
Replace the gasket into the groove; run a finger round the
gasket to make sure it is snugly seated in the groove.
