9. Maintenance and service

The Hugyfot o-rings are of a very high quality. Their lifetime may be estimated
at 5 years. Nevertheless it is advised to have a spare of the main and the port
o-ring.
When the housing isn't used for a longer period, it should be thoroughly
cleaned and stored away with closed shells in a dry and dark storage (NO
PRESSURE on the main o-ring). The camera should not be stored inside the
housing and the port should not be mounted.While transporting (airplane,
Transport Company, post ...) never leave the camera inside the housing.
Due to vibrations the camera as well as the shells can be damaged. Either
pack the shells separately or bolted together.
Never put the housing in the sun.
Aside from the mentioned maintenance commands, the HUGYFOT Canon
400D housing is fairly simple to maintain. Some issues however should be
kept in mind:
- When finishing a dive one has to rinse the closed housing with a closed
flash connection (plug or protection cap) under the shower or in a rin-
sing tub. Never leave the housing to dry up after use in salt water. If it is
not possible to rinse it in fresh water, keep it wet with salt water.
- Before opening the housing it has to be completely dry.
- See to it that when opening the housing no water can work it's way
inside. Be carefull with wet hair, diving gloves or wetsuits.
- When finishing your diving holiday, soak your housing for 12 hours or
longer. Then wash it and clean it. Certainly at all buttons and in all
corners. (Bolds, buttons, bullets, ...).
- Clean the bolds with a wet cloth. Remove all salt with maintenance
oil.
- Remove the battery from the leakage indicator.
