Care, storage, repairs and
maintenance
Care
WARNING!
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, brushes
with metal or nylon bristles, or sharp or metallic
objects such as knives or similar.
Clean the board thoroughly with a mild de-
tergent and dry it, particularly after use in salt
water and following contamination with oil.
Clean the board only when the valve is closed,
and after every use.
1. Remove the fin (5) from the board (1).
2. Place the board on a clean, flat and dry
surface.
3. Clean the board and fins with fresh water and
mild soap in order to remove any salt crystals,
grains of sand and any other minor contami-
nation.
4. Wipe everything down with a soft, dry cloth.
5. Let the board and fins dry completely after-
wards.
Storage
WARNING!
Mould may form if the product, particularly the
backpack, is not stored properly.
• Store the product in a clean, dry, well-ven-
tilated location away from direct sunlight,
where it is not exposed to major temperature
fluctuations.
• When not in use for an extended period, we
recommend that you disassemble the product
completely and store it in the backpack
provided.
• If the product will not be in use for an ex-
tended period of time, completely open the
zip fastener on the backpack to ensure the
product is well ventilated.
• Store the product in a secure place, out of
reach of children.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
product.
• After an extended storage period, check the
product for wear and tear, or signs of ageing.
Repairs
WARNING!
Before every use, check the board (1) for pres-
sure loss, holes or tears.
If the board is leaking air, this could be due to a
leaking valve, a defective valve, or a leak in the
board itself.
12
GB/IE
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair larger damaged areas yourself.
Smaller punctures etc. can be repaired using the
repair kit (11) supplied.
Valve
To check whether a valve is leaking or defective,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and
remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Ensure that there is no sand or other foreign
objects in the valve.
3. Fully inflate the board (1).
4. Close the valve.
5. Rinse the area of the board around the valve
with soapy water.
If bubbles form around the valve,
the valve must either be tightened or
replaced.
• Tightening the valve:
1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and
remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Place the valve key (8) onto the valve until it
fully grips the valve (Fig. G).
3. Tighten the valve by turning the valve key
clockwise.
4. Close the valve with the valve cover and rinse
the area of the board around the valve with
soapy water.
If no more bubbles form, the valve is tightly
sealed.
• Replacing the valve (Fig. G):
If bubbles are still forming around the valve,
even after you've tightened it, it will need to be
replaced.
1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and
remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Release all of the air from the board.
3. Place the valve key (8) onto the valve until it
fully grips the valve.
4. Turn the valve key anticlockwise until it can be
removed from the board.
5. Remove the defective valve from the board.
6. Insert a new valve into the board.
Note: you may order a replacement valve from
the customer service address provided. For a
better seal, we recommend smearing a little sili-
cone grease or petroleum jelly around the valve.
7. Place the valve key onto the valve and tighten
the valve by turning it clockwise.
8. Place the valve cover on the valve and tighten
it by turning it clockwise.
Leaks
Repair leaks in the board only with a suitable
adhesive. An adhesive is included in the pack-
age contents. Repairs with unsuitable adhesive
can lead to further damage!
You can find suitable adhesives in spe-
cialist shops.
Note: small leaks (smaller than 2mm) can also
be repaired with just the adhesive by applying
it directly to the leak. Larger leaks (larger than
2mm) can be repaired as follows:
1. Completely release the air from the board.
2. Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired.
3. Dry the cleaned area.
4. Cut a patch that is large enough to cover the
damaged area and extends 1.5cm around it
on all sides.
5. Apply the adhesive to the leak and to the
patch itself. Let the adhesive dry for approx.
2–4 minutes.
6. Firmly press the patch onto the leak with a soft
object. Be sure to work on an even surface
without any creases or folds. Using a rounded
object, gently remove any air bubbles, moving
outwards from the centre.
7. Let the adhesive dry for at least 12 hours after
the repair.
8. After the drying process is complete, add
more adhesive to the edges of the patch.
9. Let the adhesive dry for approx. 4 hours.
Important: before taking the board
into the water after repairing it, test the
repaired area to check that it is sealed.
Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair very large damaged
areas yourself. Take the board to a
specialist repair shop.
Maintenance
Check regularly that the pump is well lubricated
before and during operation.
In order to lubricate it, open the upper lid and
apply a thin coat of oil or grease to the seals
and the cable.
Disposal
Dispose of the product and packaging
materials in accordance with current
local regulations. Store the packaging
materials (foil bags, for example) out of
the reach of children. For further information
about disposal of the product no longer needed,
contact your local council. Dispose of the
product and the packaging in an environmental-
ly friendly manner.
The Recycling Code distinguishes
different materials to be returned for
recycling. The Code consists of the
recycling symbol for the recycling process and a
number that identifies the material.
