Troubleshooting

Case feels vacuum-locked and won't open

The automatic purge valve should handle pressure changes; if it feels stuck, ensure the valve is clean and clear of debris to allow air movement.

Difficulty rolling the wheels

Inspect the wheel housing and stainless steel bearings for debris like gravel or sand; clean with water and ensure no obstructions are present.

Seal does not look tight

Check the O-ring for physical damage or debris. Clean the groove in the lid and the O-ring itself with warm, soapy water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your Peli 1640, inspect the lid's O-ring regularly for grit, hair, or sand that could compromise the airtight seal. Wipe the O-ring down with a damp cloth if necessary and apply a light coating of silicone grease if the seal appears dry. When loading your case, ensure weight is distributed evenly across the floor. If you are fitting your own interior padding, ensure the material is chemically compatible with the ABS/Polymer shell. When utilizing the pressure valve for travel, simply ensure it is screwed tight before transit, but do not overtighten it. Store the case in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the polymer construction.
