Damage caused by failure to properly maintain your board will NOT be covered under warranty.
3.
Hose down your board inside and out
If you have not already done so, remove the battery and wipe down with a cloth before cleaning the board
Lie the board LEVEL on the ground, kayak stands or workhorses for cleaning to ensure you can easily access all board surfaces.
Hose the board down
inside and out
using a hose on shower setting. Everything inside the board is waterproof, and hosing everything,
especially salt water, off all internal components after use will keep your board in great condition.
Do not clean your whole board with a high pressure washer! This can result in water ingress into the electronics housing, the digital
throttle, the waterproof glove box or another part of the board which is waterproof but not high-pressure hose proof.
If you have used the board in salt water, especially if any water has built up inside the board and got into the motor or the drive shaft bearing,
it is particularly important to hose the motor and the drive shaft really thoroughly with the hose on high/jet setting. Salt and sand can make its
way into these components and seize them up if they are not cleaned thoroughly after use.
We recommend spending 30 seconds hosing the board through the front hatch (focussing especially on the motor), 30 seconds through the
rear hatch (focussing especially on the motor and bearing), 30 seconds on the top of the board especially the trigger and other metallic
components and 30 seconds on the underside of the board, especially focussing on the impeller and jet assembly.

Storage
One of the great things about a Kymera is how easy it is to store. Pick a place to store your board either lying flat or standing on its tail (where
it won’t fall over).
1.
Ensure your board has been fully cleaned and flushed and the battery is on charge, as above.
2.
Ensure your board is clear of water:
a.
Let most of the water drain out by leaving the board to stand on its tail for a few minutes (optional)
b.
Lay the board flat on the ground. Any remaining water will run forward to the lowest point under the battery tray and electronics
housing
c.
Use a chamois to remove remaining water from under the battery tray. When done, with the chamois sitting in the hollow below
the battery tray, lift the nose slightly to drain any remaining water from under the electronics housing into the chamois. Repeat until
the water is gone.
Store your board with the rear hatch open to ensure that any remaining moisture has an opportunity to escape
3.
Store your board anywhere you like either laying down on shelves or standing on its tail in the corner of your garage or even your spare
room!
