Important Notices
»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only
system in the tank. The vast majority of catastrophic oods
happen when the user walks away from a housing while it is in
the rinse tank.
»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.
»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 Ports
Your housing features two 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Ports which
may be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing
accessories. Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory optional
accessories.
Use the following steps to replace an Accessory Port Hole Plug with
an accessory tting:
1. Remove the Hole Plug using an 11/16-inch open end wrench.
2. Check the accessory tting o-ring sealing area. If an o-ring is not
present, use the Hole Plug o-ring. Lightly lubricate o-ring with
Ikelite Lubricant. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant, as other manufacturer
lubricants can cause the o-ring to swell. Check o-ring and o-ring
sealing area. Both should be clean and free of hair, sand, or other
debris.
3. Carefully screw in and tighten accessory tting. The accessory port
features a 1/2-20 threaded hole. Make sure your tting is the same
thread pattern. DO NOT cross-thread. DO NOT overtighten.
