PREPARATION OF THE HOUSING

1. Attach Grip Bracket to the housing:
The housing comes with two Grips for both right and left hand grips which should be installed on the
sides of the housing with the supplied screws and Allen key. Occasionally remove the grips and lubri-
cate the screws (see Care and Maintenance: of the housing.)

Depending on which strobe system you are using, you can mount the necessary shoes or brackets
onto the 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the top of the hand grips. The AQUATICA TLC strobe arm system
is recommended.

There are also two (2) 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the bottom of the housing that can be used for var-
ious mounting application trays. As well there are two holes on top of the rear half of the housing for
mounting accessories.

Mount your strobe and connect the sync cord to the housing's strobe bulkhead. Be sure to read the
section titled "Care and Maintenance: of the O-rings."

2. Lubricate the Main O-ring Seal:
Before use, remove the Main O-ring seal from its groove on the front half of the housing and careful-
ly verify that the O-ring and the O-ring groove are free from scratches or foreign material. Lubricate
the O-ring with a light coat of silicone grease.

When replacing the O-ring place the entire O-ring over the O-ring groove and start by pushing the O-
ring in the corners. Work your way around the O-ring making sure the O-ring is snugly sitting in the
groove.
For proper handling and maintenance of O-rings be sure to read the section titled "Care and
Maintenance: of the O-rings."
