Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service
with minimal maintenance
 Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing
in fresh water after saltwater use If a push button control
becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed soak
the housing in lukewarm fresh water After a few minutes
operate the push button If this does not correct the problem
return the housing to Ikelite for maintenance
 Some of the controls have long shafts These controls can be
pulled out exposing the shaft (see drawing)
 Some of the controls have a short shaft and cannot be pulled
out exposing the shaft for lubrication In the unlikely event one
of these controls sticks or becomes difficult to operate you can
remove the control from the housing and lubricate it or return
the housing to Ikelite for maintenance To remove the control
loosen the set screw in the knob (allen wrench required); remove
the knob If there is salt or dirt buildup on the exposed control
shaft clean the shaft Open the housing and gently slide the
control shaft out of the control gland Clean and lightly lubricate
the shaft including the end of the shaft Slide the shaft back into
the control gland and gently slide it back and forth a few times
without fully removing the shaft from the gland Replace the
knob NOTE the flat area on the shaft the set screw in the knob
should tighten down against the flat area on the control so the
knob does not turn on the shaft
