ATTENTION
Pay extra attention to your choice of flotation life-jacket.
The flotation life-jacket should have a tag bearing de-
tails of its flotation capabilities and safety certification.
5. Storage of the Boat
- Refer to Fig. 3
Remove dirt and dry the kayak before rolling up. The weep
hole (13) in the rear may be used for faster draining of water
from the kayak. Deflate seats and footrests. 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 outwards. 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, gas-
oline, 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 recommend-
ed 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
cleaned and dried boat 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 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
service life.
7. Guarantee Conditions
The guarantee period is 24 months and is calculated from the
date of sale.
The producer provides cost-free repairs or replacement of
faulty components for material faults or production faults.
The warranty does not cover damage to air chambers due

8. Boat Repairs
You can easily repair a damaged boat yourselves by means of
the accompanying gluing set.
10
Gluing:
mark out the damaged area on the boat and choose an
l
appropriately sized patch;
the surfaces of both patch and place to be glued must be
l
clean, dry and without traces of old glue;
we recommend degreasing both surfaces with acetone in
l
order to achieve a perfect bond;
spread a thin layer of glue on both surfaces to be glued
l
and repeat this step once the first layer has dried;
after the second layer has dried, press the patch firmly on
l
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 per-
formed by the manufacturer or at authorized service stations.
Guarantee repairs and post-guarantee repairs are pro-
vided by the manufacturer:
