When to maintain the O-ring seal

Remove the O-ring periodically for inspection. It is not necessary to remove, clean and re-install the

O-ring after every dive provided the O-rings are not become contaminated. As a rule of thumbs set up the

camera and housing before a day's diving. If the housing is required to be opened between dives for

changing memory card or re-charging batteries, make sure the outside of the housing is thoroughly

toweled dry before opening up. After removing the lid and servicing the camera, replace the lid straight

away, rather than leaving it lying around. Before replacing the lid, check the o-rings and make sure that

no contamination such as dust, hair, salt, sand etc. has fallen onto the O-ring or O-ring recess, as a

precaution we recommend to inspect the O-ring every time the lid is opened and to carry out the

maintenance only if necessary.

Procedure

How to open the housing:

Place the lid on a firm non-slip level surface.

Clean the O-ring recess (the square groove

where the O-ring sits) with a cotton bud.

Inspect the O-ring all the way round its

surface for damage such as

contamination. This should be done visually

and also by feeling the surface texture

between finger and thumb.

IF THE O-RING IS DAMAGED OR

SUSPECTED OF BEING DAMAGED, DISCARD

supplied with your housing, or a replacement O-ring can be ordered from 10 BAR. If the O-ring is

contaminated or suspected of being contaminated, clean it with a cotton cloth that is free of all

chemicals or contamination. After cleaning inspect the O-ring again.

The O-ring can be extracted using an O-ring extractor tool

(make sure the tool as no sharp edges). Alternatively use

the flats of the thumbs to gently stretch the O-ring on two

faces thus making a small loop protruding a few mm. The

loop can then be grasped between finger and thumb, to pull

the O-ring over the lip.
