Care and Use

Thank you for purchasing this NANUK case.

Please read the directions below to learn how to properly use and care for your case.

O-ring seal

Your NANUK case is equipped with an EPDM gasket that has been designed to give superior performance and resist compressive deformation over time. To ensure a watertight seal, the gasket must be free of cuts, abrasions or tears. Debris or foreign material caught between the sealing rib on the bottom of the case and the gasket on the top of the case will prevent the case from sealing properly. Applying a coat of an automotive type surface protector is recommended to help prevent dirt and debris from sticking to the seal. If the seal becomes damaged a replacement seal can be ordered from Plasticase.

Cleaning

All NANUK cases are constructed of high impact NK-7 resin designed to absorb the shocks of transport. The surfaces of the case can easily be wiped clean with a non-abrasive cleaner approved for use on plastic. Avoid using brushes that could scratch the case. To keep your case looking like new we recommend using an automotive type surface protector.

Auto pressure equalizer

All NANUK cases are equipped with an automatic pressure release valve. This valve automatically equalizes the pressure on the inside of the case. To ensure correct operation, this valve does not require any maintenance, does not need to be rotated or adjusted, and must not be blocked.

Powerclaw™ latches

downward on the lower latch until the locking

button engages with the lower half of the case.

An audible click will indicate that the latch is

securely closed. If the latch is in the closed

position but the button does not return to the

locked position, ensure that there are no foreign

objects or debris that are preventing the button

from engaging into the locked position.

Customizable Cubed Foam

Customizable cubed foam is a simple and effective way to protect and organize your delicate items. If your case is equipped with cubed foam, follow the directions below to t and protect your items.

1 4

Place your items on top of the foam leaving space between each item. The multilayer design of the foam* allows the layers of pre-scored foam to be tailored individually to accommodate taller items or to be used as separate levels to protect a larger amount of smaller items.

To ensure optimum protection for your equipment, it is important to keep all of your items within the pre-scored grid on the foam. This serves as a cushion if ever the case falls or is impacted.

*Customizable cubed foam is available for all our cases. However, multilayer cubed foam is only available for the 915 and larger.

Once you are satised with your layout you can mark the perimeter of the cutout with tooth picks. You can remove your items once you have indicated the perimeter. Begin by carefully removing the required foam squares as one piece within the indicated outline. If some foam cubes are removed by mistake they can be reattached by using a spray type adhesive. Removed foam blocks can be reused if necessary or modied to accommodate shallower items. A utility knife can be used to modif y the foam cubes.

Once all the required foam is removed place your items in their respective compartments to ver ify t. Your equip ment is now protected!
