DEFLATION
Remove the outer valve caps to expose the plastic stem on the inner valve. Press the stem in to release air pressure, and
turn it to lock the valve in the open position. Deflate each hull chamber to 50-75% before completely deflating any of the air
chambers. Remove and disassemble floorboards.
Note: Do not deflate one chamber fully while others are fully inflated. This could damage the bulkheads
of your boat.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
• To clean hose off sand and dirt and let dry before fully packing away. Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose,
a sponge and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners.
• Never use polishing or cleaning products containing alcohol to clean your watercraft. Doing so may lead to the premature
drying out of the floater material.
• Store in a clean and dry place. Do not store in extreme temperatures (i.e. over 150F/below - 10F).
• If storing your boat for long periods folded up in the bag, ensure it is fully dry, do not sprinkle with talc or other
similar powders.
• Can be stored inflated or deflated.
• If left outside it is advisable to raise it up off the ground.
• If it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves, berries or rain, cover it with a tarp.
• Hanging the boat is not recommended.
• If you leave the boat in the water, you will probably have to drain out rainwater at times. If you store it in a closet, basement
or garage, we suggest you pick a cool, dry spot, making sure the boat is clean and dry before you pack it up - or mold
can accumulate.
• Never store a boat with fuel in the tank in a room where the fuel vapours may reach a flame, spark or a strong source
of heat.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Leaks
After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature change. If so, add a few pumps of air into
each chamber. If you are losing air pressure, and it isn't due to colder temperatures, check the boat over for leaks, starting
with the valves. The best tool to find leaks is soapy water in a spray bottle. A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find a leak we
can send you a replacement valve. We recommend mixing soap and water in a spray bottle. Spray around the valve. If you
see bubbles forming, check your valve seating and base and be sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If you continue to have
problems it's probably time to order new valves. Replacement of the whole valve can be done with a simple tool that comes
with the replacement valve.
