Is there a warranty on the Peli 1560 case?

How does the automatic pressure equalization valve work?
The valve automatically releases built-up pressure inside the case caused by changes in atmospheric pressure or temperature. This ensures the case can be opened easily and prevents potential damage.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to open or close.
Check the O-ring for obstructions or damage. Ensure the automatic pressure equalization valve is functioning correctly. Clean the latches if they are obstructed by dirt or debris.
Water ingress or dust found inside the case.
Inspect the O-ring seal for any cuts, tears, or embedded particles. Ensure the latches are fully engaged and creating a tight seal. Verify the automatic pressure valve is closed properly.
Wheels feel stiff or don't roll smoothly.
Clean the wheels and stainless steel bearings of any dirt, sand, or debris. Check for any obstructions caught in the wheel assembly. Lubrication is generally not required due to the stainless steel bearings.
Case lid does not stay open.
This is normal operation for Peli cases to prevent accidental closure. The lid is designed to stay open at a certain angle but will not lock in the fully open position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Peli 1560 case is ready for use out of the box. If using with foam (sold separately), the open cell foam can be easily cut to create custom compartments for your specific equipment. The solid wall design ensures structural integrity, while the open cell foam provides cushioning.
Compatibility:
This case is designed to carry a wide range of equipment. Its internal dimensions (50.6 x 38.05 x 22.86 cm) accommodate many laptops, cameras, drones, tools, and other sensitive items. Ensure your equipment fits within these dimensions and consider the lid depth (5.08 cm) and bottom depth (17.78 cm) for optimal placement.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior and interior with a mild soap and water solution using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- O-Ring: Periodically check the neoprene O-ring seal for damage or debris to ensure a watertight closure. Clean it gently if necessary.
- Latches and Wheels: Ensure the double throw latches operate smoothly. Clean any dirt or grit from the polyurethane wheels and stainless steel bearings if they become sticky or noisy.
- Storage: Store the case in a dry area when not in use. If storing for extended periods, leave the latches unfastened to prevent stress on the mechanism, but ensure the O-ring is clean and free of debris.
