O-ring Care & Maintenance
O-rings are the critical component that keeps water out of the housing.
Routinely inspect o-rings and replace at least once a year. If your o-rings
are damaged, contact the Light & Motion service department for an o-
ring replacement kit.
Follow these steps for proper o-ring function.
1) The sealing system used on the rear plate incorporates two o-rings. This is
the most critical area of the housing for maintenance and should be inspected
before every dive.
2) Make sure the rear plate o-rings and the mating surface on the inside of the
main housing are clean from grit, hair, lint and anything that could
potentially breach the o-ring seal.
3) After frequent diving or if o-rings appear dirty, remove o-rings and clean the
grooves. To remove o-rings, use finger pressure or the rounded edge of a
plastic card to lift the o-ring out of the groove.
Never use a metal object to remove an o-ring. It will cause
damage to the o-ring and mating surface.
4) To check o-rings for damage, place the o-ring between the index finger and
thumb. Then pull the o-ring through your fingers, feeling for any debris or
wear.
5) If o-rings are dirty, it is best to replace them. Washing dirty o-rings with soap
and water is not recommended. Soap breaks down the lubricants and will
compromise the integrity of the seal.
6) Properly greased o-rings will help maintain sealing integrity and minimize
o-ring degradation. Use enough grease to lubricate the o-ring thoroughly, but
not so much that it will attract additional debris.
7) Clean the groove with a lint free swab or the folded edge of a paper towel.
8) All of the front optic ports for the housing also utilize two o-ring seals. Also
check these seals every time the optic is removed.
Stingray o-ring Replacement Kit part # 802-0134 includes:
Two o-rings for the Rear Plate or Monitor Back and two o-rings for front
