How to install SKB Roto Mil Std Waterproof Case

• Choose the correct case size for your gear footprint. Consider both the largest item and the quantity of items you plan to transport to avoid overcrowding.
• Remove any existing interior foam or protective inserts if you’re starting from a blank shell. Inspect the interior to ensure a clean, dry surface before adding padding.
• Plan your layout by placing bulkier items first and lighter items last. Use the pluck foam or inserts to create custom recesses that snugly cradle each piece of equipment.
• Insert the padded gear into the case and test for movement. The goal is a snug fit with no shifting during transport. If items move, trim or add additional foam to secure them more firmly.
• Seal the case by closing the lid, engaging the dual-stage latches, and confirming the gasket seats evenly along the entire perimeter. For additional security, use padlock hasps if available for your model.
• Wipe the exterior to remove dust and moisture after use. Store the case in a dry, cool environment to maintain gasket integrity and prolong the life of the interior foam.
