10) Care, Safety, Storage and further Information:
Salt water:
If you want to use your boat in the brackish water / salt water,
the treatment of the rod with "CorroFilm" is absolutely
recommended.
Ask your local Dealer for it!
CorroFilm can be sprayed onto (and if necessary also in) the rods
and generates a transparent, dry protective film which protects the
aluminum perfectly against the "attack" of salt water. Ask your
dealer about CorroFilm. Clean the rods and boat skin after exposing
it to salt water (e.g. after the tour) with sufficient fresh water.
Important
: If the boat is to be stored for a longer time, take the air
out of the sponsons! A folding boat should be built up and removed
several times a year.
Ensure that the boat skin and rods are dry when packed and stored.
The boat skin is resistant to salt water. Nevertheless, it should also
be cleaned with fresh water after the return from a tour in brackish
or salt water. Especially when sand or small stones can cause high
abrasion.
Please make sure to carry the boat not only by the handles, but also support it from the
bottom, in order to relieve the handles from tension.
Always wear a life jacket when you are using your boat on the
Waters! Beware of rapid weather changes!
