housing.
2. After each day of diving, it is advisable to have the O-rings removed from their
grooves with the O-ring remover and inspected for damage, also check that
the O-rings retain their original circular shape; never stretch the O-rings
excessively or remove them with a sharp object. The O-ring grooves should
be cleaned to ensure they are free from any salt deposit or foreign material;
lightly coat the O-rings with the provided lubricant before reinstalling it in the
groove. A damaged O-ring should be discarded immediately and replaced
only with one that is provided by NAUTICAM.
3. Replace the O-rings annually.
