Blue Robotics Switch- hard to turn?

Is the knob on the switch supposed to be super hard to turn by hand? We’re very surprised how difficult it is to turn. It takes real strength, not a two finger twisting situation.

Hi @LiveForLiving, the switch should not be that hard to turn, you definitely should be able to turn it just using your fingers. Did you lubricate the O-rings on the switch plug before installing it in the bulkhead?

No, is there a lubricate you would suggest?

Hi @LiveForLiving
The molykote silicone grease included with Blue Robotics enclosures should do the trick!

Like Tony mentioned, we use Molykote 111 for all O-rings. I recommend checking out the switch user guide as well, it has this and other good information in there.
