5. Storage of the Boat – See Picture 3
Open the valves and release the air from all the chambers.
Defl ate the seats and the front foot-rest. Open the valves and
release the air from the main chambers.
The kayak can be defl ated more quickly by rolling it in the di-
rection of the valves. No sharp objects should remain in the
kayak. When defl ated, lay out the kayak in such manner that
the bottom lies on the ground and the sidewall cylinders are
folded inwards. Fold the kayak in half lengthwise and then
fold it towards the valves to enable you to insert the folded
kayak into the transportation bag. 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, gas-
oline, 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 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 storage, it is recommen-
ded to rub the surface of the canoe 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 temperatures of
between 10–25 °C. During longterm storage, it is recommen-
ded 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.
