Clean your inflatable with mild soap and fresh water and check that the
valves are clean and not damaged.
RAVE recommends the use of U.V. protectant for prolonging the life of
your inflatable. To remove algae and other hazards from the ocean,
you can use a special cleaning agent from your local marina. Follow the
directions carefully.
All hardware (O-rings, springs, and such) should be rinsed with fresh
water weekly. Although normal wear and tear is unavoidable, this will
increase the life of your product.
STORAGE
When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not
affected by major variations in temperatures and other damaging factors.
You can store your inflatable deflated and rolled up or lightly inflated. Be
careful never to stack anything on top of inflatable. It is recommended
that you allow the unit to completely dry and lubricate the rubber on the
valves with a petroleum based product t before storage.
Please note: rodents, such as mice, chew on fabric, including inflatable
material. As a precaution you can place moth balls or fabric softener sheets
around the products during storage to deter them.

minor punctures and cuts and even anchor plates or handles.

•
