MAINTENANCE
1. To deflate the kayak, remove the valve cap from the valves in the kayak floor and kayak body.
2. Clean and check the kayak as well as all the accessories. Make sure the kayak is completely dry before putting it away.
Make sure that no sand nor gravel remains inside the kayak nor between the hull and the inner chambers: this could result in abrasion
or even punctures while storing the kayak.
3. Fold the 2 sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from the valves).
4. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place.
Whenever you take your kayak out of the water and deflate it, allow time for it to air out and dry. Neither the
skin/hull or the inside chambers will suffer from water damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and foul
odor.
HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES
Check that the tube is fully deflated and lies flat.
1. Prepare a round patch no less than 3 inches or 7 centimeters in diameter.
2. Clean the patch and the area surrounding the leak with Alcohol.
3. To contain excess glue, use masking tape to tape off the area around the patch.
4. Apply 3 thin, even coats of repair kit adhesive to both the surface of the kayak and the patch. Wait 5 minutes between each coat.
5. After the 3rd coat, apply the patch on the defect surface. Use a hand roller to apply the patch evenly. Pay special attention to the
edges.
6. Wait 24 hours before re-inflating.
• Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid inhaling glue vapors.
• Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
• Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc) away from the reach of children.
• Repairs on seams/welds must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of the kayak can perform such repairs.
