 Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite
products as some other brands may cause the o’ring to swell
and not seal properly
 Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o’rings Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth
Lubricant is not a sealant it is used to reduce friction Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing
