MAINTENANCE : DEFLATING – FOLDING THE ITEM – CLEANING – WINTERING STORAGE
1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. To deflate, unscrew the valves' insert and open the valve cap of the push-in valve.
3. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove
any residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of silicone-
based products. Make sure the product is completely dry before putting it away.
4. Fold the 2 sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape
from the valves); start again if you feel there is still some air in the tubes.
5. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected from major variations in
temperature and other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly
inflated (make sure you do not subject it to deformations). Store it away from rodents.
Water will enter between the outer hull and inside chambers, this is O.K ; however, whenever you take this
item out of the water and deflate it, allow for it to air out and dry, neither the skin/hull or the inside chambers
will suffer from water damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and foul odor.

HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES

You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit (Note: Glue not included in USA). Please note that in order
for the repair to be successful, the humidity level should be less than 60%, temperature between 65° F/77° F or
18° C/25° C. Avoid carrying out repairs in the rain or in direct sunlight.
To remove the inside bladder(s) please open the zippers on the inside of the canoe/kayak cover; each air chamber
features a zipper at the bow and a zipper at the stern of the canoe/kayak for quick and easy access.
Check that the tube is fully deflated and lies flat.
1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2" / 5 cm larger than the
cut/damaged area.
2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and
allow for it to dry for 5 minutes.
3. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes between layers
until the glue feels tacky.
4. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press the
air bubbles which may have formed under the patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon,
do this procedure by starting in the center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent.
Drying : 12 hours.
Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid inhaling glue vapors or swallowing.
N.B. the repairs on the weldings must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of the canoe/kayak can perform the repairs
