Warning !

- If you experience a loss of pressure of 20% of 
operating pressure inside a 24 hour period 
when external temperature is constant it is 
considered to be normal and no reason for a 
complaint to the manufacturer or a warranty 
c l a i m !

- There is a possibility that the flat valve can 
become a little lose after the first few pumpings, 
and that can result in a little air escape around 
the valve (being a result of the stretching and 
contracting of the boat skin).
In case this happens with your boat, it is 
sufficient to turn the valve with the valve key by 
about one quarter to one half a turn until the 
resistance becomes too great.

- Water should never come inside of the tubes. 
In case this happens please empty as soon as 
possible and dry throughout . Water inside of 
the tubes can cause a damage to the inner 
rubber of the tube and this can cause I-beam 
damages as well.

                         

- If the boat is standing still on a shore for                   
a longer periods of time, please dismantle the 
keel fins or use the special stands (see our 
Spare Parts & Accessories Catalogue) under 
the floats which will prevent the pressure on the 
floats. You will avoid a possible damage of the 
keel fins and floats.

 

- Maximum operating pressure in the floats (air 
chambers) is 0.025 MPa (3.6 psi).   If there is an 
increase of the ambient air temperature 

.......................

(due to the heat of the sun) the air pressure 
inside the floats can increase. The air pressure 
of the floats should be checked and air released 
if necessary to avoid eventual damage. 
- Before setting sail it is advisable to familiarise            
yourself with any local regulations or 
restrictions for the piece of water in which you 
intend to operate.
- MiniCat is not intended to be towed behind           
a motorised craft. It must not be towed, slide 
moved, or otherwise extensively loaded. 
- Any sharp objects must be securely 
packaged.
-   Valuable items and personal effects must be 
placed in a waterproof package and placed in 
the pockets on the trampoline.
- Bright sunlight will eventually have                  
a deteriorating effect on the rubber surface of 
the floats, therefore wherever possible when 
your MiniCat is not in use it is advisable to leave 
the boat out of direct strong sunlight.
-   When sailing on large open water (sea, lake)   
pay close attention to the wind directly from the 
coast.   It is possible to be blown offshore.
-   MiniCat must not be used in bad conditions, 
for example, low visibility, night, fog, rain.

Instructions for drying, storage, cleaning 
and maintenance of your MiniCat

After sailing and before storing your MiniCat it is 
necessary to rinse the boat using water and a 
mild soap or detergent, and then allow the boat 
to dry out thoroughly. After sailing it in salt water 
it is necessary to wash the boat with fresh 
water. It is recommended to clean all parts from 
dirt, sand and other impurities using an 
absorbent cloth. Please note that oil, petrol, 
acetone, kerosene, paraffin and similar 
solvents and chemicals disagree with the 
rubber layer on the surface of the boat and must 
be avoided.
Before storing your MiniCat and from time to 
time, we recommend that you clean the boat 
thoroughly and treat the surface of the rubber 
floats. The 

'MiniCat Maintenance Kit'

 includes 

everything you need for the care of your 
MiniCat including cleaning and preserving fluid, 
lubricant and silicone oil.
