REPAIR (F)

3.1 Pressure loss

If your kayak appears soft, it's not necessarily because of a leak. If you inflated your kayak during the day at an ambient temperature of 32°C, the temperature
could go down to 25°C in the evening. The colder air then exerts less pressure on the kayak and it may appear softer the next morning.
If temperature variation doesn't explain the loss of pressure, identify the source of the leak by putting soapy water on your kayak to locate the leak.
Case 1: leak around the valve (*17)
1 - Deflate the kayak completely.
2 - Firmly grab the inner part of the valve through the lower layer of the wall.
3 - Insert the tightening key into the outer part of the valve.
4 - Rotate the key clockwise until it's completely sealed.
Case 2: leak in the middle of the valve
1 - Deflate the kayak completely.
2 - The valve body is probably broken, in which case please go to a DECATHLON store to have it repaired.
Case 3: puncture on the kayak's surface (*18)
1 - Locate the leak.
2 - Deflate the kayak completely
3 - Clean and dry the area to be repaired with a cloth.
4 - Choose a piece of laminated canvas from the repair kit provided with the kayak.
- Cut out a piece of fabric according to the area to be repaired, taking care to round off the corners
- Apply a glue for ''soft PVC'' according to the glue assembly instructions.
5 - Hold the patch firmly in place for 30 seconds. A weight can help compress the patch.
6 - Allow 12 hours of drying time before re-inflating the kayak and check that the leak has been repaired properly.
