tails of its fl otation capabilities and safety certifi cation.
5. Storage of the Boat - see Fig. 3
Remove dirt and dry the boat before folding.
Deflate the seats and the front foot rest. Release of the
air can be accelerated by rolling the boat towards the
valves or by machine extraction. No sharp items may re-
main in the boat! Once the air has bled, spread the boat
so that the bottom lies on the ground with the side tu-
bes folded towards the centre of the boat, overlapping
by approximately 15 cm. Continue with folding the boat
ca. 30 cm from the front tip towards the valves up to
ca. 130 cm from the end. Proceed in the same way with
folding the remaining part of the corpus from the tip
towards the middle. Place the folded halves one upon
another and tie the compression straps. Squeeze out the
air from the bag, roll the end of the bag and tie with
buckles.

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 infl ation valves and the safety relief valves.
If a valve is not air-tight, 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 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 material to prevent further
dirtying, or which is capable of forming a protective
UV-fi lter. Never use agents containing silicon when
treating your boat. Store the cleaned and dried boat
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 long-term storage, it
is recommended to infl ate 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.

7. Guarantee Conditions

The guarantee period is 24 months and is calculated from

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 fi rst layer has dried;
• after the second layer has dried, press the patch fi rmly
on the damaged place, weigh down or use a rolling pin
on a fl at surface.
For minor repairs (punctures), it is possible to re-infl ate the
boat and continue using it after waiting for approx. 30 minu-
tes; 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.
