To open the case, disengage all latches by lifting the release mechanism and pulling the latch upwards. To close, align the lid with the base and firmly press down on each latch until it clicks into place. Ensure all latches are securely fastened to maintain the case's protective seal.

4.1 רייניקונג
Clean the exterior of the case with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the case material. For the interior foam, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. If the foam becomes soiled, it can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allowed to air dry completely before reinserting equipment.
4.2 Seal Inspection
Periodically inspect the O-ring seal around the lid for any signs of wear, cracks, or debris. A clean, intact O-ring is crucial for maintaining the case's water-resistant properties. If the seal appears damaged, contact Pelican customer support for a replacement.
4.3 Latch and Hinge Check
Ensure all latches and hinges operate smoothly and are free from obstruction. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Do not force latches or hinges if they are stiff.

- Difficulty Closing Latches: Ensure the lid is properly aligned with the base and that no items inside the case are obstructing the seal. Check for any debris in the latch mechanism.
- Water Intrusion: Verify that the O-ring seal is clean, properly seated, and undamaged. Ensure all latches are fully engaged. Avoid submerging the case beyond its specified water resistance level.
- Case Not Stacking Securely: Confirm that the base-to-lid locking cleats are correctly aligned between stacked cases.
