The cushions must be let dried after use and cleaning to prevent
the formation of mildew. In case mildew forms on cushions, mildew
removers can be used.
It is regular cleaning that will ensure the long life of inflatable boat
fabric. Under normal conditions, tube fabric should be cleaned
only with freshwater and without the use of abrasives, solvents,
ammonia, chlorinated cleaners. You can use special inflatable boat
cleaners for stubborn stains.
Faulty cleaning will open the pores of the Hypalon (CSM) layer
on the surface of the tube fabric, causing it to penetrate the dirt.
Removal of dirt penetrating Hypalon (CSM) fabric is extremely
difficult and also shortens fabric life.
10.3. BELOW THE WATERLINE
Do not clean the bottom of the NORTHSTAR ORION mechanically
(with a hard brush or sandpaper) to avoid triggering the forma-
tion of bubbles on the gelcoat (osmosis).
Always apply these chemicals according to their manufacturer's
instructions for use. Be careful not to harm the environment
during the use of these chemicals.
NORTHSTAR ORION
Owner's Manual
We recommend you to cover your NORTHSTAR ORION with a
boat cover if you want to keep the high quality of the surfaces
and the fittings. Start to uncover your NORTHSTAR ORION from
the stern to the bow and do it the other way around if you want
to cover it. The cover is fixed with a tightening rope around.
Stainless steel is not entirely resistant to corrosion and must
be looked after properly and regularly. To do this, always wash
stainless steel equipment with freshwater and if necessary with
soap after each use. Do not use scouring powders, abrasives,
bleach, or acids when cleaning.
Whenever you see a sign of rust on your stainless steel, use chrome
polish to remove them. If this is not done, these rust spots may
develop into pitting, which will ruin the stainless steel. When
waxing your NORTHSTAR ORION, wax your stainless hardware too.
NORTHSTAR ORION are designed for the harsh marine environment
and are certified for applicable safety standards.
To keep these qualities, please let your dealer handle work and
repairs on your boat. You could endanger your safety and lose
your warranty because of improperly installed equipment or the
wrong choice of equipment.
