How to repair
If you have found a leak,then clean the fabric around it.Cut out a piece of fabric
with round edges,which is about 2.5com bigger than the leak.Clean the area
around the leak and the piece of fabric with thinner.Put on both parts two layers of
glue.Let the parts dry until the upper glue layer has dried a bit.Stick both pieces
together and make sure that there are no air-bubbles between.Let the repair dry
for24hours before you start using the boat again.
Important:Repairing is only possible with a dry atmosphere and the air moisture
may not be bigger than 60%.
Maintenance
Because the boats fabric is PVC it does not need maintenance.So you do not
need to use talcum powder when the boat is folded together.Clean the boat with
soap and the water. When you find persistent stains like oil and tar, you can
remove them with thinner. After you have used thinner, always clean the boat with
fresh water. It is important to clean the valves also. The transom, wooden seat and
floorboards are made out of plywood and are treated with a waterproof paint.
Every damaging of the paint must directly be scoured and painted to avoid water
damaging to the wood. When you do not use the inflated boat, we advise you to
cover it with a boat-cover against sun and dirt.
Stowing away
When you will not use the boat for a longer time and you stow it away in the
carrying-bag, it is sensible to clean the boat with fresh water to remove sand and
dirt and let it dry. Take out the valves and empty the air chambers. Then take out
the floorboard and joiners. Now fold the tubes to the inner side of the boat until the
boat has the same width as the transom, fold the cones behind the transom,Now
you can roll the boat together starting with the transom. You can tie a rope around
the package to keep it small. Put the boat with all the parts together in the
carrying-bag.
Fire risk
All materials of this inflatable boat are flammable.Take open fire away from the
boat.

obliged or not,
