Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service

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
 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
