Important Notices
»To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the
empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls
several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.
»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only
system in the tank. Most catastrophic oods happen when the
user walks away from a housing while it is in the rinse tank.
»Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X,
or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an
incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and
o-rings, and may result in leaking.
Accessory Port
»Do not remove the Accessory Port Hole Plug unless you are
installing a compatible accessory.
Your housing features two 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port which may
be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing
accessories. Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory optional
accessories.
