• Pressure Equalization: The automatic ambient pressure equalization valve self-regulates internal pressure, which is particularly useful during high-altitude travel or changes in atmospheric pressure. This ensures the case remains sealed and protected.

Maintenance

The SKB iSeries Shaped Bow Case is built for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Following these guidelines will help ensure its longevity:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the polypropylene material.
• Gasket Seal Inspection: Periodically inspect the complete gasket seal around the lid for any signs of wear, cracks, or debris. A clean and intact gasket ensures the case remains watertight and dustproof.

• Latch Functionality: Ensure the Trigger Latches operate smoothly and securely. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied.
• Storage: When not in use, store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the materials.
