TROUBLE SHOOTING
When you find the kayak 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 kayak 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 kayak 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 kayak 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.

REPAIRS
Little holes or puncture can be repaired with the repair kit
coming along with the kayak.
1. Find the leak.
2. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any
dirt or grime.
3. Cut a piece of repair material in round shape, which should be
larger than the damaged area.
4. Using a piece of the repair kit, trace outline of the patch
lightly.
5. Apply adhesive to the underneath side of the patch and
around the area to be repaired.
Coat the area affected are lightly but completely with glue.(not
included in the product, please purchase separately from your
market.)
6. Put the patch on the damaged area and press down firmly.
7. Allow 12 hours for repair to dry. After the patch has dried,
apply glue around the edges for a complete seal (dry 4 hours)
