CARE
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Use warm soapy water or light abrasive cleanser to remove dirt and stains.
Periodically clean and if necessary lubricate the zippers with a silicone spray.
Remove sand and gravel which may accumulate between the floor and the sidewalls.
Lubricate control lines
with silicone where they pass through the guides.
Wipe the boat with 303 Protectant to restore lustre and keep your kayak looking new.
FOLDING / STOWING:
To stow the boat, remove the rudder, cockpit coaming rods, curved deck battens and seats.
Before storing, inflate the kayak,
fit the valve caps
and wash with fresh water.
Dry thoroughly:
- with sponsons inflated and floor slack, lift off the ground supported at
bow and stern until dry, particularly in the sandflap (between floor and sponsons). Storing
wet will result in mildew and possibly permanent stains.
Open the inflation valves with a simple press down / quarter turn.
Fold the boat as in the diagram above.
