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 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 stor-
age, 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 mate-
rial to prevent further dirtying, or which is capable of form-
ing 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 in-
flate the boat for 24 hours from time to time to avoid fatigu-
ing 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.

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
to higher pressure than the required operational pressure!!!

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;
10
• 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 min-
utes; 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.
Guarantee repairs and post-guarantee repairs are pro-
vided by the manufacturer:
