Note
on O-ring types used with Olympus Underwater housings:
Models PT-003, 5, 6, 7, 8 have a back door O-ring
made from Buna rubber. The correct lubricant is Silicone grease,
e.g., Molycote 111, or the lubricant supplied with the housing.
Models PT-009 and onwards have a back door O-ring made
from Silicone rubber. The correct lubricant is Fluorosilicone
grease, e.g., Molycote FS1292, or the lubricant supplied with
the underwater housing. Use of the incorrect lubricant may result
in failure of the O-ring. |
