CAUTION

: • When a mechanical pencil or a similar other sharp

object is used to remove the O-ring or to clean the

inside of the O-ring groove, the Case and the O-ring

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.

Install the O-ring.

Confirm that no foreign matter is attached, apply a thin coat of the

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

lubricant to each

O-ring.

Spread the

lubricant all over

the O-ring.

Check that the

O-ring is free of

scratch or

unevenness.

Apply lubricant on

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.
