cement drum in the second net bag. No sharp objects should
remain in the canoe.
Lay out the deflated canoe on a clean surface and straighten
all its parts. Fold the sidewall cylinder lengthwise to overlap
the seal of the bottom by approx. 10 cm. Then fold the cylinder
lengthwise again, this time from the centre towards the exter-
nal edge. The top edge of the drum is approx. 5 cm from the
edge of the bottom. Repeat this procedure with the second
sidewall cylinder. Then fold the stern approx. (25–30) cm from
the end and gradually fold the canoe towards the bow, do not
roll up the drain sleeve – leave it loose on the bottom. At the
end fold the bow of the boat by approx. 30 cm and then fold up
towards the stem, so that you can put the reinforcement drum
between the folded corpus with its valve on the hole for the
drain sleeve, complete the packing. Fix the folded canoe with
the enclosed compression belt and insert it in the carry bag.
Finally, place the seats and the remaining accessories in the
bag, fasten the compression belts on the bag.
Expel the air from the bag, roll up the insertion end and fasten
it with clips.
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 recommen-
ded 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
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 longterm storage, it is reco-
mmended 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.

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 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.
