5. 유지관리
5.1 외부 청소
Clean the exterior of your Pelican Air case with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the HPX resin. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
5.2 O-Ring Seal Inspection and Care
Periodically inspect the O-ring seal located in the lid for any cracks, tears, or debris. A clean, properly seated O-ring is crucial for maintaining the case's watertight integrity. If necessary, clean the O-ring with a damp cloth and apply a thin coat of silicone grease (Pelican recommends its own brand) to keep it pliable and ensure a proper seal. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants.
5.3 Foam Insert Care
The Pick N Pluck foam can be cleaned by gently vacuuming or by hand washing with mild soap and water. Allow the foam to air dry completely before placing it back into the case.
5.4 Wheel and Handle Maintenance
Keep the wheels and retractable handle free of dirt and debris. If the wheels become stiff, clean the axles and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant. Ensure the retractable handle extends and retracts smoothly; clean any obstructions if movement is hindered.
6. 문제 해결
6.1 Difficulty Opening/Closing Latches
Ensure the lid and base are properly aligned. Check for any obstructions or debris caught in the latches. If the case has been exposed to significant pressure changes, the automatic purge valve should equalize the pressure, making it easier to open. If latches are damaged, refer to the warranty section.
6.2 누수
If water enters the case, immediately check the O-ring seal for proper seating, cleanliness, and any damage. Ensure all latches are fully closed and secured. If the O-ring is damaged, it may need replacement.
6.3 Stiff Wheels or Handle
Clean any dirt or debris from the wheel axles and handle mechanism. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if necessary. Avoid forcing the handle or wheels if they are obstructed.
