Maintenance; Cleaning Agents; Small Repairs - Nemaxx 330 Manual De Instrucciones

● CLEANING AGENTS
● Household cleaners should only be used sparingly and must not be discharged into the water.
● Never mix cleaning agents and ensure adequate ventilation in closed rooms.
● DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents, solvents or products containing phosphates, chlorine, solvents or
products that are not biodegradable or oil-based.
● IMPORTANT: Do NOT use waxes or detergents containing alcohol on the boat fabric. Alcohol will dry out
the boat fabric prematurely.
● Citrus-based cleaners are excellent for cleaning boats and are safe for you and the environment.
● Your dinghy is best cleaned with water and normal soap.
● SMALL REPAIRS
For small holes, you can use the material provided in the repair kit.
For larger areas - or if the patch overlaps a seam - the damage should be repaired by a professional
repair mechanic in a dinghy repair shop.
For best bonding results, the relative humidity should be less than 60% and the temperature should be bet-
ween 18°C and 25°C (65°F and 77°F). Do not carry out such repairs in direct sunlight.
In general, proceed as follows:
● Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by 30 mm on all sides.
● Center the overlapping patch on the damaged area and mark the outline of the patch with a pencil.
● Remove stains from the surface around the air leak and patch by roughening this area evenly, but not too
deeply, with sandpaper without exposing the fibres of the material.
● Clean the area around the damaged area and the patch.
● Apply two thin layers of adhesive to the back of the patch and the area to be repaired on the boat using a
short-haired brush. Allow the first layer to dry completely (about 15 minutes) before applying the second
layer. The second coat must dry until sticky. Then apply the patch to the prepared area and press firmly into
place. Remove any air bubbles trapped under the patch with a smooth object (the back of a spoon is good).
Work from the centre of the patch outwards.
● Wait 24 hours before inflating the boat again.
