5. Storage of the Boat – See Fig. 3
Clean the boat free of dirt and dry it before folding.
Deflate air from all chambers. Deflating can be speeded up
by rolling up the boat in the direction of the air valves or by
sucking the air way.
Untie the seats and place the ropes into the netted bag. Do not
leave sharp objects in the boat.
Spread the boat out on a flat place, fold the cylinders on the
bottom of the boat along the lengthwise axis of the boat, and
then fold the cylinders again in half along the lengthwise axis.
Scroll the front and back part of the boat three times. Fold the
packed halves over each other.
With the boat thus packed, stretch the two compression straps
tight around and insert into the bag.
Enclose the remaining equipment and close the bag.
6. Treatment and Storage
The rubber surface coating of the boat is sensitive to oils, gas-
oline, toluene, acetone, kerosene and similar thinning agents.
Prior to storing a dirty boat, wash it down with warm soapy
water. Rinse the boat with fresh water after using the boat in
seawater. It is recommended to check the state of the inflation
valves and the safety relief valves.
If a valve is not air-tight, it is possible to unscrew the valve
body from the boat with the use of a special valvekey and cle-
an its membrane with a strong jet of water or compressed air.
Prior to storage, it is recommended to rub the surface of the
boat with an agent intended for the treatment of such surfaces,
which has cleaning properties, and which impregnates the ma-
terial to prevent further dirtying, or which is capable of forming
a protective UVfilter.
Never use agents containing silicon when treating your boat.
Store the clean and dry product in a dark dry place at a tem-
perature of (15 – 35) °C, at least 1.5 m from any radiant heat
source and out of the reach of rodents. During longterm sto-
rage, it is recommended to inflate the boat for 24 hours from
time to time to avoid fatiguing the fold lines.
It is also recommended to have the boat serviced by the ma-
nufacturer's authorized service station at least once every two
or three years.
Proper care and treatment of the boat will increase its service
life.

8. Boat Repairing
You can easily repair a damaged boat yourselves by means of
the accompanying gluing set.
Gluing:
•
mark out the damaged area on the boat and choose an
appropriately sized patch;
•
the surfaces of both patch and place to be glued must be
clean, dry and without traces of old glue;
•
we recommend degreasing both surfaces with acetone in
order to achieve a perfect bond;
•
spread a thin layer of glue on both surfaces to be glued and
repeat this step once the first layer has dried;
•
after the second layer has dried, press the patch firmly on
the damaged place, weigh down or use a rolling pin on
a flat surface.
For minor repairs (punctures), it is possible to re-inflate the
boat and continue using it after waiting for approx. 30 minutes;
after more serious repairs, you should wait for 24 hours before
using the repaired boat. Complicated repairs should be per-
formed by the manufacturer or at authorized service stations.
Guarantee repairs and post-guarantee repairs are provi-
ded by the manufacturer:
