1. Place housing face down in your

lap or on flat surface.

2. Check to see that there is an

o’ring on the housing back and

that it is clean and in its proper

location.

3. Guide the back onto the housing.

The o’ring should touch the

housing all the way around. There

should be an even gap all the way

around between the housing and

the housing back.

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are

extended and place the lid snap

into the hook on the housing

back. 

5. To close the housing push 

down on the lid snaps until 

they snap into place . Lid 

snaps on opposite sides of the

housing should be closed at the

same time. Be sure they are down

far enough to engage the lock.

D

Doouubbllee cchheecckk - Once the housing is closed, check the o’ring seal.

Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it

should be even all the way around.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring. You should see a

darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the

housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal

all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the

housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

1. Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk.

To open, push Lid Snap Lock

forward and lift as shown.

Keep pressure on the Lid

Snap so it does not fly open

quickly.

Some lid snaps have a lot of

spring tension once they go over center, have a firm grip on the

lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend

you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other

brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly.

2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and

o’rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth.

Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive

lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with

proper sealing.
