Care & Maintenance - Fantasea FSB 800 Instruction Manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE:
The Fantasea FSB 800 housing requires only a minimum amount of care for reliable
performance. The following are tips that will enable you to get the best results.
1. Always soak your housing in fresh water for about 20 minutes after every dive to
dissolve the salt-water crystals from around the controls and openings of the
housing. Manipulate each of the movable controls to assist the removal of salt
particles from these tight areas. If possible a firm spray or stream of fresh water on
the housing prior to soaking is preferable.
2. Allow the housing to dry thoroughly before packing away for the day or for the
trip home. You may use a soft towel or cloth to dry the housing. Be sure there is
no grease or other debris on the towel.
3. Visually check the condition of the gasket before every dive. If it is dirty, clean it
with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth as described above. If it is damaged in
any way, such as cut or perforated, replace it immediately.
4. Do not use grease or any other type of lubricant on the gasket when closing the
housing. It does not increase the ability of the gasket to make a proper seal.
5. Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces. It is not a shock absorber, and could
crack, affecting its watertight integrity not to mention the flash in which it is
housed.
6. Travel with the housing protected in a protective case with padding. It is best to
remove the flash from inside the housing when traveling and provide it with its
own protective case, or compartment.
7. It is recommended to have annual maintenance of all Fantasea housings. This
includes visual inspection and possible changing of all seals / gaskets / o-rings. It
is recommended to use an authorized Fantasea Service Center for this purpose.
