5. Storage of the Boat – See Fig. 3
Before folding clean and dry the boat. Force the air out of all
chambers. Deflating can be accelerated by rolling the boat to-
wards the valves or by exhausting the air. Unlace the seats
and put the ropes in the netting bag. No sharp objects may
be left in the boat.
Spread the boat on a flat surface, fold the drums on the bottom
to the longitudinal axis of the boat and fold again in half to
the longitudinal axis of the boat. Lay the first seat on the front
deck, fold towards the centre of the boat by approx. 40 cm,
lay the second seat on the folded part and fold it too. Lay the
third seat on the rear deck and fold the rear part towards the
centre of the boat. Fold the bundled halves one over the other,
bind them using the two compression straps and put them in
the transport bag. Add the remaining accessories and close
the bag.
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 air-tight, it is possible to unscrew the valve
body from the boat with the use of a special valvekey and cle-
an 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 ma-
terial to prevent further dirtying, or which is capable of forming
a protective UVfilter.
Never use agents containing silicon when treating your boat.
Store the clean and dry product in a dark dry place at a tem-
perature of (15 – 35) °C, at least 1.5 m from any radiant heat
source and out of the reach of rodents. During longterm sto-
rage, 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 ma-
nufacturer'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 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;
•
sandpaper the patch and the damaged area and degrease
the area to be glued by using acetone or gasoline;
12
•
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 per-
formed by the manufacturer or at authorized service stations.
