Kit bag
A kit bag is included with this article in which
the kayak is stowed away for transport and
storage . In order to close this, please use the
200cm rope . The kit bag is also useful when
afloat for the splash-proof safekeeping of provisi-
ons, clothes etc . Please remember that this bag is
not watertight . For this reason, do not store sen-
sitive objects in it, for example, cameras . For use
aboard it is advisable to remove the rope and to
flatten and roll up the upper end, closing it when
necessary with the hook and loop fastener .
Storage bag
A splash-proof storage bag is also included
which can be attached to the back of the front
seat using the hook and loop fastener . Small
objects can be stowed away here to keep them
dry but please remember that this bag too is
not completely watertight . Please do not store
sensitive objects here .
Transport
Always transport the kayak with two adults and
use the carrying straps at the front and back
of the craft .
Care / Maintenance / Storage
WARNING!

1 . Clean your kayak thoroughly after every use
with fresh water and mild soap to remove salt

particles . Leave it to dry completely .
2 . Lay both of the upper side pipes into the
inside of the kayak and fold them together
carefully .

away from direct sunlight and somewhere
where there are no great temperature
