3
Apply lubricant to the O-rings.
-With
your fingertip, smear a small
amount of O-ring lubricant over the entire
surface of the O-rings.
-This
makes the O-rings slip more easily
into the O-ring channels.
Do
not apply
too much lubricant to the surface of
the O-ring
as
this will not help make
a better seal, and can cause
an
unwanted build-up of excess
lubrication which will attract sand
and dirt.
- Caution
e
Feel
fo
r any damage
on
the O-rings while
applying the lubricant. If damage
is
found,
replace the O·ring with a new one.
e
Take
care that lint, hair, or other foreign
matter does not remain
on
the O-rings or
their channels.
e Use O-ring lubricant available from Nikon.

water leaks.
