5. Storage of the Boat - see Fig. 3
Remove dirt and dry the boat before folding.
Deflate the seat, backrest and footrest. Open the 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.
Unfold the deflated kayak over a clean area and smooth up
all parts. Then fold both side tubes in thirds over the kayak
bottom and fold the tubes over each other. Continue with fol-
ding the boat ca. 30 cm from the front tip towards the valves
up to ca. 110 cm from the end. Proceed in the same way with
folding the remaining part of the corpus from the tip towards
the middle. Secure the folded boat with a supplied compre-
ssion belt and put it in the transport bag together with the
accessories. Squeeze out the air from the bag, roll the end
of the bag and close 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 air-tight,
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 clean and dry product 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 long-term
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 manufactu-
rer'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 repla-
cement of faulty components for material faults or production
faults. The warrant does not cover any damage of the air
chambers resulting from higher than the prescribed working
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;
• 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.
Guarantee repairs and post-guarantee repairs are provi-
ded by the manufacturer:
