5）Max. air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is: 0,1 bar (= 100 mBar). Do not exceed it. Add air until
the product is free of wrinkles and feels firm to the touch. Please check the pressure with the supplied pressure
gauge. Overpressure: deflate until you reach the recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again slightly.
WARNING !
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the material
might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube’s internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of the pressure in the tube
of +/- 4 mBar.

MAINTENANCE: DEFLATING – FOLDING THE ITEM – CLEANING – WINTERING STORAGE
1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. To deflate, unscrew the valves’ insert and open the valve cap of the push-in valve.
3. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove any
residues of salt if used in saltwater. Use a mild soapy solution, do not use detergents or any type of siliconebased products.
Make sure the product is completely dry before putting it away.
4. Fold the 2 sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from the
valves); start again if you feel there is still some air in the tubes.
5. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected from major variations in temperature and
other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly inflated (make sure you do
not subject it to deformations). Store it away from rodents.
HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES
You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit. Please note that in order for the repair to be successful, the
humidity level should be less than 60%, temperature between 65° F/77° F or 18°C/25° C. Avoid carrying out repairs in the rain
or in direct sunlight.
To remove the inside bladder(s) please open the zippers on the inside of the canoe/kayak cover; each air chamber features a
zipper at the bow and a zipper at the stern of the canoe/kayak for quick and easy access. Check that the tube is fully deflated
and lies flat.
1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2” / 5 cm larger than the
cut/damaged area.
2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and allow for it
to dry for 5 minutes.
