5. Storage of the Boat – See Fig. 3
Before folding clean and dry the boat. Force the air out of all
chambers. Deflating can be accelerated by rolling the boat
towards the valves or by exhausting the air. Unlace the seats
and put the ropes in the netting bag. No sharp objects may
be left in the boat.
Spread the boat on a flat surface, fold the drums on the
bottom to the longitudinal axis of the boat and fold again in
half to the longitudinal axis of the boat. Lay the first seat on
the front deck, fold towards the centre of the boat by approx.
40 cm, lay the second seat on the folded part and fold it too.
Lay the third seat on the rear deck and fold the rear part
towards the centre of the boat. Fold the bundled halves one
over the other, bind them using the two compression straps
and put them in the transport bag. Add the remaining acce-
ssories and close the bag.

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 air-tight, it is possible to unscrew the valve
body from the boat with the use of a special valvekey and
clean 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 impreg-
nates the material to prevent further dirtying, or which is ca-
pable 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
temperature of (15 – 35) °C, at least 1.5 m from any radiant
heat source and out of the reach of rodents. During long-
term storage, 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.

7. Guarantee Conditions

The guarantee period is 24 months and is calculated from

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;
12
• 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 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.
