1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant as some other
brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. 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.

This housing offers two types of arm mounting systems. The
top of the rubber handles utilize Ikelite’s Quick-Release Arm,
available with the SA-100R Arm system.
The bottom of the rubber handles have a wing nut that accepts
the Ikelite Tray Mount. The Tray Mount comes with the Ikelite
SA-125 Arm system and the SA-100T Arm system.

It is recommended that you take the complete system into a
swimming pool before use in open water. This will give you a
chance to become familiar with the handling and operation of
your housing and strobe(s).

The buoyancy of the system will depend on the size and
number of strobes used as well as the weight of the camera.
Ideally the system should be slightly negative in the
environment in which it will be used. If you need to add weight
to the system, an optional lead weight is available. To add the
lead weight remove the (2) screws from the bottom of the
aluminum tray. Place the lead weight into the pocket of the
aluminum tray and reattach.

While both the Port and Back o’rings should last quite some time
it is best to carry a spare in case one becomes damaged or lost.

When the housing is going to be stored for a prolonged period it
should be soaked in a mild soap solution, rinsed and dried
thoroughly. Remove the back and port from the housing.
Remove the back and port o’rings, lightly lubricate them and
place them in a plastic zip-lock bag. Place the plastic bag inside
the housing for storage. Operate the push buttons periodically.
