Cleaning
Do not use detergents or volatile chemicals such as alcohol or thinner when cleaning
the case. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the case or O-
ring.

Grease the O-ring
If the O-ring is not properly greased, it may crack
or peel, causing leaks. If the bottom of the O-ring
appears dry, place a drop of O-ring grease on your
index fi nger and spread grease on the O-ring by
sliding it between your thumb and index fi nger,
gently stretching the ring. Do not use cloth or
paper, as these may leave fi bers on the O-ring.
Note that applying too much grease may cause
foreign matter to adhere more readily to the ring,
preventing the case from sealing properly.
Replace the O-ring
Making sure the O-ring and guide are free of
foreign objects, place the O-ring so that it runs
evenly at the same level all the way round the O-
ring guide, without undue stretching and without
protruding from the guide.
Check the seal
Close the case and check that the case is fully
sealed. If the O-ring does not form a perfect seal,
open the case and adjust the O-ring to prevent
leaks.
