Cleaning And Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Velleman GROOVY HOOVY Manual De Instrucciones

c. Air Cushion Care
• The edge of the air cushion must seal with the lower edge of the body for proper operation. If the skirt becomes
loose, push the edge of the skirt back into the slot of the body (maybe put some glue on it). Do not use a sharp
object (screwdriver, pen, knife) to reinsert it to avoid punctures.
• Small holes or tears in the skirt may be repaired with some "Super Glue" type of glue (cyanoacrylate). Use a small
amount and follow the glue manufacturer's instructions.

7. Cleaning and Maintenance

Wipe the TRC5 clean after each use, also the inside of the battery compartments.
After use on water, snow or ice, take the battery pack out of the hovercraft, wipe everything dry and leave it to dry
completely with the battery compartment door off.
