Disassembly and Storage
First clean your kayak thoroughly following the Care and Maintenance instructions.
Open all air valves, deflate kayak completely and remove all the accessories from the
kayak.
Flip the kayak over. Fold the left side of the kayak over and then fold the right side over
the left. Fold the bow end twice to the middle of the kayak tightly while forcing out any
remaining air; repeat this procedure for the stern. Replace all air valves' caps. With two
opposing folded sides, fold one end over the other like closing a book. Your kayak is
ready for storage. Fold the kayak loosely and avoid sharp bends, corners and creases
which can damage the kayak.
Troubleshooting
If your kayak appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. If the kayak was
inflated late in the day with 32°C (90°F) air, that air might cool down to 25°C (77°F)
overnight. The cooler air exerts less pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the
next morning.
If there has been no temperature variation, you need to start looking for a leak:
• Take a good look at your kayak from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely
check over the outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.
• If you have an idea where your leak is, use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a
spray bottle, and spray over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that
will pinpoint the location of the leak.
• Check valves for leak, if necessary, spray soapy water around the valve and the valve
base.
Repairs
Through constant use you may occasionally puncture your kayak. Most leaks only take
a few minutes to repair. Your kayak comes with a repair patch, and additional repair
supplies can be ordered from Intex Consumer Service or from our website.
First locate the leak; soapy water will bubble out from the source of the leak. Thoroughly
clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.
Cut a piece of repair patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately
1.5cm (1/2"). Round off the edges, and place the patch on the damaged area and PRESS
DOWN FIRMLY. You may want to use a weight on top to keep it in place.
Do not inflate in 30 minutes after patching.
If the patch does not hold, you can purchase a PVC or silicon based glue for repairing
camping mats, tents or shoes from your local market to patch your boat, please refer to
the instruction of the glue for patching.
