MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Warning:
Certain household cleaning solvents, chemicals and other liquids (such as battery acid, oil
and petrol) could damage the PVC fabric. In the event of spill or mishandling, you should
check for leaks and inspect for structural integrity.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove all the accessories from the boat: fishing rod, oars.
2. Open all valves and deflate the boat completely.
3. Fold the boat (make sure that the boat is clean and dry. See the above Maintenance &
Storage chapter).
4. Put boat and air pump, oars into carry bag for storage.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
When you find the boat appears a bit soft, it might not definitely be because of a leak.
Firstly you can check if valve caps are loose. If all valves are in good condition, you can
consider if it is caused by temperature variation: If the boat was inflated in the day at higher
temperature, say, 35 C (95 F), and air might cool down to 25 C (77 F) overnight, so that the
pressure on the hull may lower down, and the boat will appear soft the next morning.
If valves and temperature variation are not the reasons, you need to start looking for a leak:
1. Position the leak area: You can check your boat from a few feet away or flip it over and
closely check over the outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.
2. Pinpoint the location of the leak: spry mild soapy water over the suspicious areas. Any
leak will produce bubbles.
3. Check valves system for leak.
