7. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
AFTER EACH USE AND IN PREPARATION FOR STORAGE, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CLEAN THE RAFT WITH CLEAN WATER USING
SOAP OR A MILD DETERGENT. FOR OUTINGS IN SALTWATER, THOROUGH RINSING IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT.
BE SURE TO CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE INFLATION AND OVERPRESSURE VALVES, AND IF YOU ENCOUNTER A
FAULTY VALVE, YOU CAN DISASSEMBLE IT USING A SPECIAL VALVE WRENCH. FOR OPTIMAL STORAGE, KEEP THE RAFT
CLEAN AND DRY IN A COOL, DARK PLACE AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 10 AND 25°C. IN CASE OF PROLONGED
STORAGE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PERIODICALLY INFLATE THE RAFT FOR 24 HOURS TO PREVENT DEFORMATION.
8. REPAIR
SURFACE PREPARATION: THE SURFACES TO BE GLUED MUST BE CLEAN, DRY, FREE FROM DUST, AND DEGREASED.
DO NOT GLUE ON COLD MATERIALS (MINIMUM +15°C). FOR REPAIRING A HYPALON BOAT, MAKE THE PATCH AND
THE DAMAGED AREA ROUGH USING SANDPAPER. FOR REPAIRING A PVC BOAT, THE SURFACE SHOULD NOT BE
ROUGHENED.
HOW TO PROCEED?:
1- AFTER CLEANING YOUR SURFACES, APPLY A UNIFORM LAYER OF ADHESIVE WITH A BRUSH ON EACH FACE TO BE
JOINED.
2- ALLOW IT TO DRY FOR 30 MINUTES.
4- ONCE AGAIN, APPLY A UNIFORM LAYER OF ADHESIVE ON EACH FACE TO BE JOINED.
5- ALLOW IT TO DRY FOR 30 MINUTES AGAIN.
6- BRING THE GLUED SURFACES INTO CONTACT BY APPLYING STRONG PRESSURE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE
BONDING IS IMMEDIATE AND DOES NOT ALLOW FOR READJUSTMENT. OPTIMAL STRENGTH IS ACHIEVED AFTER
APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS.
FOR ALL MORE COMPLEX REPAIRS, WE RECOMMEND HAVING THEM DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL REPAIR SERVICE OR
DIRECTLY BY THE MANUFACTURER.
9. CE PLATE
ALL RAFTS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A BUILDER'S PLATE CONTAINING ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS. IT IS CRUCIAL TO ADHERE TO THESE SPECIFICATIONS, PARTICULARLY AVOIDING OVERLOADING
THE RAFT AND OBSERVING THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM PRESSURE FOR THE AIR CHAMBERS.
