15. MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
1. Do not use waxes, vinyl or alcohol based cleaners, as they may damage or dry out the material.
2. Spray down the boat and all accessories after each use. Allow to dry before packing away.
DISASSEMBLY
Note: Carefully clean the boat before rolling it up. Remove sand, stones and any other objects
that may have stuck onto the boat.
1. Deflate the boat by pressing in the valvue button and turn it 90º to lock open.
2. Remove the seat
3. Remove the oars and pack into the bag.
4. Once the boat is deflated flat, fold the sides towards the inside of the boat. The tubes should
now be touching, but not overlapping.
5. Fold the end of the tubes into the transom.
6. Use the footpump in deflate mode to remove any remaining air from the tubes.
7. Close the valves.
8. Starting from the rear, roll the boat up and place within the carrying valise, along with the
foot pump.
16. REPAIR
MINOR REPAIR
Should a repair need to be carried out to your Waveline Boat, firstly assess the repair as you
may be able to use the repair kit included with your boat using the following instructions:
1. Cut out a patch with rounded corners to a size which overlaps the hole by 5cm on all sizes.
2. Trace an outline of the patch where it will be fitted on the boat and ensure this area is clean
and dry.
3. Degrease both the patch and the area of the boat to be repaired using MEK or Acetone
solvent, and leave for 10 minutes.
4. Apply a thin coat of adhesive to both surfaces.
5. Leave for 20 minutes then apply a further thin seconds coat to both surfaces.
6. While still tacky, bring together both surfaces and apply as much pressure as possible using a
rounded object (ie. back of a spoon) from the middle of the patch working outwards.
7. Clean off any excess glue.
8. Allow to cure for at least 12 hours prior to inflation except during an emergency when a
temporary repair will suffice.
LARGER REPAIRS
When larger repair work is required, including any damage to the transom, large tears or faulty
components please contact your dealer.
