5. Storage of the Boat – See Picture 3
Open the valves and release the air from all the chambers.
Deflate the seats and the front foot-rest. Open the valves
and release the air from the main chambers.
The kayak can be deflated more quickly by rolling it in the
direction of the valves. No sharp objects should remain in the
kayak. When deflated, lay out the kayak in such manner that
the bottom lies on the ground and the sidewall cylinders are
folded inwards. Then fold both sidewall cylinders to thirds
over the bottom of the kayak and then fold the kayak from
the bow towards the valves. Insert the folder kayak into the
transportation 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,
gasoline, 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 stor-
age, 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 mate-
rial to prevent further dirtying, or which is capable of form-
ing 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 recommended to in-
flate the boat for 24 hours from time to time to avoid fatigu-
ing 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 ser-
vice 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;
• 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 min-
utes; after more serious repairs, you should wait for 24 hours
before using the repaired boat. Complicated repairs should
be performed by the manufacturer or at authorized service
stations.
Guarantee repairs and post-guarantee repairs are pro-
vided by the manufacturer:
