may be damaged and water leakage may be caused.
• When the O-ring is checked with the fingertips, take
care not to stretch the O-ring.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar solvents
or chemicals detergents to clean the O-ring. When such
chemicals are used, it is likely that the O-ring will be
damaged or that its deterioration will be accelerated.

accessory grease to the O-ring, and fit the O-ring into the groove. At
this time, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.

How to Apply Grease to the O-ring

Apply the
exclusive
1
lubricant to each
O-ring.
Spread the
2
lubricant all over
the O-ring.
Check that the
O-ring is free of
3
scratch or
unevenness.
Apply lubricant on
4
the O-ring contact
surface.
Make sure that your fingers and the O-
ring are free of dirt, and squeeze about
5 mm of lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm
is the most appropriate amount.)
Surround the lubricant with three
fingers and spread it over the ring. Be
careful not to use excessive force as
this may stretch the O-ring.
After spreading the lubricant, check
visually and by touch that the O-ring is not
scratched and that its surface is flat. If it is
damaged in any way, replace it with a
brand-new O-ring.
Use the lubricant remaining on the
fingers to clean and lubricate the
case's contact surface.
