The housing handles are
rubber and the tray is
aluminum. Their weight
helps to offset the buoyancy
of the housing. The complete
assembly is slightly negative
underwater for better
control. The handles have a
push button release for easily
attaching and removing
strobe arms. The tray and
handles can be removed from
the housing. To remove the
tray, the base must be
removed to gain access to
the nuts holding the tray on
the housing. Remove the 2
nuts, washers and rubber
spacers.
DO NOT remove
the bolts protruding through
the housing.

The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and
attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to
normal maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned
to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
1.
DDoo NNoott
leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2.
DDoo NNoott
ship the camera in the housing.
3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the
sseett ssccrreeww
in each control knob.
Check each
ccoonnttrrooll ggllaanndd
penetrating the housing to make sure
they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate
loose during travel.
4. Keep the back o’ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate
remove the o’ring from the back. Put a small amount of lkelite
lubricant on your fingers. Draw the o’ring through your fingers
to apply a light coating of lubricant. Only apply enough
lubricant to make the o’ring feel slick.

.
This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o’ring from
drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the
housing back is properly sealed.
5. Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean.
6. Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate
water spotting.
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution, rinse and dry before storage. When storing the housing,
remove the back o’ring, lightly lubricate and place in a plastic bag.
Place the plastic bag with o’ring inside the housing for safe keeping.

Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service
with minimal maintenance.
1. 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 luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes operate
the push button. If this does not correct the problem, return the
housing to Ikelite for maintenance.
2. Some of the controls have long shafts. These controls can be
pulled out, exposing the shaft (see drawing).
To lubricate the control, gently pull on the knob until the
stainless steel shaft is exposed. Lightly lubricate the shaft, then
move the shaft in and out several times. This will lubricate the
x’ring in the Ikelite control gland. This should be done before
using the housing after a prolonged storage period, or once a
week when the housing is in use.
