CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Soak the product in fresh water after each salt water use
After each day of diving, it is advisable to have both the
housing main O-ring and port O-ring removed from its
groove with the O-ring remover and inspected for damage.
Also check that the O-ring retains its original circular shape;
never stretch the O-ring excessively or remove it with a
sharp object. The O-ring groove should be cleaned to en-
sure it is free from any salt deposit or foreign material;
lightly coat the O-ring with the provided lubricant before re-
installing it in the groove. A damaged O-ring should be dis-
carded immediately and replaced only with one that is pro-
vided by NAUTICAM.
