Use and Care Manual

Exercise caution in high humidity climates. We recommend the regular use of silica-gel moisture absorbing packets which are avail- able through Pelican (CAT. #1500D). These packets may be reused over again many times by drying out in oven. To maintain the watertight seal, the O-Ring must be kept clean of dirt and debris. If the O-Ring becomes cut or cracked, it must be replaced. Your Pelican dealer can offer you replacement parts. Most dirt and stains can be removed quickly with mild soap and water and a soft sponge. Do not use any type of brush that will scratch the surface. An occasional application of “ArmorAll
®
” or similar protectant will keep
your Pelican Case looking new.
Certain solvents, fuels and hydraulic oils may affect the performance of your case. In the event of spills, remove solvent, fuels or oil with a clean cloth.
For equipment that is sensitive (camera, lens, etc.) to dust, Pelican recommends its divider sets to offer the protection and cleanliness desired.
If your Pelican Case comes with Pick N Pluck foam, follow these steps to customize your case:
a. Lay out all items on the top of the foam to
your liking. Leave adequate space between each item. For maximum protection keep items inside the pre-cut grid area.
b. Mark the cubes to be removed.
Toothpicks can be used to mark the corners of the pieces to be removed.
c. Cubes can be removed individually or
as a section. Sections can be saved for further customization or repair.
d. Repeat this process for each item and
each layer of foam, as needed.
e. You can further customize the fit of your
items by using the foam sections that were removed. To make items sit at just the right height, cut a layer from the foam section, and place it back into the foam cavity under the item.
f. To repair tears or to replace cubes of
foam, use a rubber cement or spray adhesive,* such as 3M
TM
Super 77
TM
or
similar product, in accordance with the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.
If your Pelican Case comes with solid foam, follow these steps to customize your case:
a. Lay out all items on the top of the foam
to your liking.
b. Using chalk, trace around the items to
create an outline. Leave at least one inch of foam between items and walls of the case.
c. Remove components from the foam. d. With the foam protruding over the edge
of a table use an 8" electric knife or very sharp blade and begin cutting at a 90° angle, 1/4" within the outline to insure a snug fit. TIP: When using an electric knife do not saw foam, let the blade flow smoothly. When squaring corners cut into corner from opposite directions.
e. If a mistake is made, use a rubber
cement or spray adhesive* to repair foam.
f. Remove chalk outline with a damp cloth
or brush. Do not close the case while foam is damp.
g. We recommend gluing the cut section to
the bottom layer of foam to reduce the movement of items inside the case when transporting.
