how to install SKB Mil-Std. Waterproof Case 14
Setting up and using the SKB Mil-Std. Waterproof Case 14 is straightforward, designed for quick access and secure protection in the field. Follow these general guidelines to get the most from your case and keep contents safe through routine use:
- Inspect the case and gasket: Before each use, check the gasket for cracks, debris, or damage. Clean any dirt from the sealing surface to ensure a tight seal.
- Open and load carefully: Release the Tri-Latch closures and gently open the lid. Place equipment with care, ensuring items are evenly distributed to avoid pressure on the seal when closed.
- Seal and secure: Close the lid, press firmly around the gasket, and engage all Tri-Latch closures evenly to achieve a uniform seal. Confirm that latches engage with a secure snap.
- Test for fit: Gently tug on the lid to verify closure security. If resistance is felt, re-seat the lid and reseal to maintain waterproof integrity.
- Storage and transport: Store the case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Use foam inserts or organizers inside (if provided or available) to keep gear from shifting during transport and to maximize protection against impact and movement.
