Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to open.
Ensure the automatic pressure equalization valve is functioning correctly. If there's a significant pressure difference, press the valve button to release it. Check that latches are fully open.
Latches won't close properly.
Check for obstructions around the latches or the case opening. Ensure the O-ring seal is clean and properly seated. Make sure contents are not preventing a secure closure.
Water ingress detected.
Inspect the O-ring seal for damage, debris, or wear. Ensure the seal is correctly positioned and the lid is fully closed and latched. If damage is found, contact Peli for replacement parts.
Wheels or handle are stiff.
Clean the wheels and handle mechanism of any dirt or debris. Check for obstructions. Prolonged exposure to sand or grit may require specific cleaning or lubrication as per Peli's maintenance guidelines.
