MAINTENANCE: DEFLATING – CLEANING - FOLDING – STORAGE
1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. To deflate, unscrew the valve insert and open the valve(s) cap.
3. Mini double lock™ valve: For deflation, open external stopper and pull the valve to extend it out so that the air can
escape (see the figure on page 2 / F).
4. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove any
residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of silicone-based
products. Make sure that the product is completely dry before putting it away.
5. Folding your boat:
a. Fold the sides of the boat inwards. You can place the deflated seats on the back of the folded boat.
b. Roll up the folded boat, starting with the end opposite the valves (so that remaining air in the chambers can
be forced out). Start over again if you see that there is still air in the air chambers.
c. Put in the carry bag.
6. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected from major variations in
temperature and other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly
inflated. Store it away from rodents.
Water will enter between the outer hull and inside chambers, this is O.K; however, whenever you take this item out of
the water and deflate it, allow for it to air out and dry, neither the skin/hull or the inside chambers will suffer from water
damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and foul odor.

HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES

You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit (Note: Glue not included in USA). Please note that in order for
the repair to be successful, the humidity level should be less than 60 %, temperature between 65° F/77° F or 18° C/25° C.

1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2" / 5 cm larger than the
H
cut/damaged area.
2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and allow
for it to dry for 5 minutes.
3. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes between layers
until the glue feels tacky.
4. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press the air
bubbles which may have formed under the patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon, do this
procedure by starting in the center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent.
Drying: 12 hours.
 Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
 Avoid inhaling glue vapors or swallowing.
N.B.: The repairs on the weldings cannot not be glued. In this case, the chamber needs to be replaced.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
 Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
 Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc.) away from
children's reach.
