5. Storage of the Boat - Refer to Fig. 3
Remove dirt and dry the kayak before rolling up. The weep
hole (10) in the rear may be used for faster draining of water
from the kayak. Deflate footrest and seat. Open valves and
release air from the main chambers.
The deflation may be sped up by rolling the boat towards
the valves. No sharp object may remain in the boat. Once
the air is fully forced out, roll the kayak out so that the bottom
lies on the ground and the side chambers are folded into the
kayak's inside, and fold it one more time half-and-half out-
wards. Fold the kayak's board and roll the kayak towards the
valves so that the kayak can be put into the transport bag.
Tighten the rolled up kayak with the compress strap provided
and place it into the bag. Force the air out of the bag, roll the
end of the bag and tie it with buckles.
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
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
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 cleaned and dried
boat in a dark, dry place at a temperature of (15–35) °C /
(59–95) °F, at least 1.5 m / 5 ft. 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 fatiguing 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 ser-
vice life.

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;
• 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 performed by the manufacturer or at
authorized service stations.
To claim post-warranty repairs, contact the distributor.
