linder lengthwise again, this time from the centre towards
the external edge. The top edge of the drum is approx. 5 cm
from the edge of the bottom. Repeat this procedure with the
second sidewall cylinder. Then fold the stern approx. (25–30)
cm from the end and gradually fold the canoe towards the
bow, do not roll up the drain sleeve – leave it loose on the
bottom. At the end fold the bow of the boat by approx. 30 cm
and then fold up towards the stem, so that you can put the
reinforcement drum between the folded corpus with its valve
on the hole for the drain sleeve, complete the packing. Fix the
folded canoe with the enclosed compression belt and insert
it in the carry bag. Finally, place the seats and the remaining
accessories in the bag, fasten the compression belts on the
bag.
Expel the air from the bag, roll up the insertion end and fas-
ten it with clips.
6. Treatment and Storage
The rubber surface coating of the boat is sensitive to oils,
gasoline, 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 airtight, it is possible to unscrew the valve body from the
boat with the use of a special valve-key and clean its mem-
brane with a strong jet of water or compressed air. Prior to
storage, it is recommended to rub the surface of the canoe
with an agent intended for the treatment of such surfaces,
which has cleaning properties, and which impregnates the
material to prevent further dirtying, or which is capable of
forming a protective UV-filter. Never use agents containing
silicon when treating your boat. Store the clean and dry pro-
duct in a dark dry place at a temperature of (15 - 35) °C, at
least 1.5 m from any radiant heat source and out of the reach
of rodents. During longterm storage, it is recommended to
inflate the boat for 24 hours from time to time to avoid fati-
guing the fold lines. It is also recommended to have the boat
serviced by the manufacturer's authorized service station at
least once every two or three years.
Proper care and treatment of the boat will increase its servi-
ce life.
7. Guarantee Conditions
The guarantee period is 24 months and is calculated from
the date of sale.

8. Boat Repairs
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;
10
• 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 minu-
tes; after more serious repairs, you should wait for 24 hours
before using the repaired boat. Complicated repairs should
be performed by the manufacturer or at authorized service
stations.
