and trim is right, it manoeuvres well in waves, and tows well without

floatation device (buoyancy aid) at all times.
ATTENTION
Prior to each use of the boat, check if there are any special regulations, restric-
tions or rules connected with the river, surface of water or area in which you
aim to operate.
WARNING:
On large surfaces of water (seas, lakes) pay attention to off-shore winds and
currents. Currents and breezes may make it impossible to return to shore.
WARNING:
Incept Inflatable Boats should not be used in challenging or extreme conditions
(wind, storm) or in reduced visibility (night, fog, rain).
7. Care and cleaning
The material of the boat is treated with Acrylic lacquer that keeps the boat clean and
looking good. New unpacked boats may show white creases in places where the boat was
folded. These are micro- cracks in the surface of the lacquer and is a natural behaviour of
the material. The white creases disappear with warmth – say in sun after an hour or so –
and should not return.
Use warm soapy water or lightly abrasive household cleanser to remove dirt and stains.
Remove the floor and the keel to clean out the sand and dirt which may accumulate under
the sand flap (the junction between the floor and the sponsons). This can be abrasive,
cutting into the material and causing wear spots.
Dry thoroughly and store rolled up.
Wipe the craft with 303 Protectant every 3 months to retain as-new appearance.
Caution: Never drag the rolled-up boat on any surface, including carpet. Fric-
tional heat on fold edges can instantly burn through the coating leaving bare
spots to the polyester weave.
