● Apply silicone grease on the O-ring

The O-ring needs to be re-greased when its surface appears dry.

Be sure to remove the O-ring and apply the silicone grease on it.

A Squeeze about 1 cm onto your finger

B Apply it on the O-ring by holding the O-ring with your fingers.

If the amount applied is not enough, repeat the above step.

¹ Make sure that you do not apply too much grease!

Dirt and dust will easily adhere if too much grease is applied.

Neither will it improve the waterproofing. Be sure to apply moderately.

¹ Do not pull too strongly!

This will cause deformation.

● Check for any foreign matter in the O-ring groove

Inspect thoroughly as it is usually not visible.

Grains of sand and crystallize salt may be stuck inside.

Remove them carefully by either using an air spray or a swab.

¹ Make sure the fibers of the swab are not adhered.

Make sure no foreign matter is adhered when placing the greased O-ring back to the

groove.

Do not pull too strongly, and make sure the O-ring is placed evenly and not twisted.

Storing the O-ring

● If you do not intend to use the marine case for a long period of time,

remove the O-ring and allow it to rest.

A Remove the O-ring.

¹ Be sure to use the pick supplied.

B Wipe off the grease gently.

C Check for any foreign matter that might be adhered to it.

D Put the O-ring inside a clean plastic bag, and store in a way that it will not be subject to

stress.

¹ Do not put in moth balls and other insect repellents.

¹ Do not leave the O-ring as-is in the marine case for a long period of time.

It may deform due to heat and pressure resulting from the locked and tightened state.

¹ Do not store in hot and humid locations.

This will cause the O-ring to deteriorate more quickly.
