CARE & MAINTENANCE
WRIST SEAL CARE
Avoid sharp objects (rings, earrings, fingernails) as they may tear the seal. Avoid
contact with petroleum based products such as lotions and petroleum based silicone
lubricants as they will deteriorate the seals. Extended exposure to sunlight will damage
seals. Extreme cold may stiffen seals. Make sure the seals are warmed up to room
temperature before attempting to stretch. For lubrication, baby powder, talcum powder
and cornstarch are recommended.
LATEX WRIST SEALS: If your drysuit is outfitted with latex seals and tears, they can be
repaired. See an authorized Aqua Lung dealer for the repair. Over time, latex seals can
dry out and crack. For extended life, apply seal saver.
DRY ZIPPER CARE
Keep dry zipper clean from sand and debris by spraying with clean fresh water after
every use. Stubborn debris lodged in the zipper can be removed with a soft toothbrush
and mild hand or dish soap.
When closing or opening the dry zipper, avoid catching undergarment and/or drywear
fabric material in the zipper teeth. If the zipper slider becomes jammed, do not continue
pulling. Back zipper up and clear debris or clothing. Do not force the zipper. Tip: Place
thumb under the zipper slide as the zipper is being closed. If the zipper does not slide
smoothly, check for obstructions.
Keep zippers well lubricated. Use recommended lubrication provided. Store drywear
with the zipper in the open position. Be sure not to fold the dry zipper back on itself
when storing your drywear (see the "folding/storing drywear" section).
EXHAUST VALVE CARE
If your drysuit is outfitted with an exhaust valve, make sure the valve body is screwed
hand-tight into the suit before use. The valve will vent air automatically after entering
the water. If your valve is not working correctly, have the valve inspected by an
authorized technician.
