• Always comply with the local navigation rules.
• Do not take any sharp or pointed objects with
you in the kayak.
• The kayak should be protected from contact
with potentially unsafe liquids or acids, as these
can cause irreparable damage.
• Protect the kayak from heat and fire! Be careful
with lit cigarettes!
• To avoid damage to the hull, take care to en-
sure that the kayak does not get onto on stony
ground.
• Do not leave the kayak, under any circumstanc-
es, if damage should occur to one of the five
internal chambers during use on the water. The
buoyancy of the remaining four chambers will
be sufficient to keep the kayak afloat.
• Do not, under any circumstances, transport the
kayak on a vehicle while it is still inflated.
• Never leave your kayak unoccupied on the
water. It will be carried away too fast for a
swimmer to be able to reach it.
• Before using the kayak, always make sure that
you have the paddles with you, otherwise you
will not have sufficient control over the kayak.
• Do not make any technical alterations to your
kayak. Modifications of any kind will impair the
operability of the sports equipment.
• Never use your kayak under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Never overestimate your strength; always
pace yourself when paddling so that you can
easily retrace the distance you have covered.
Stay within 300m of protected shorelines and
pay attention to changing winds and currents
that can severely hamper your ability to keep
moving.
CAUTION!
It is extremely important that you
exercise caution and self-awareness
when on the water. Never overestimate
your strength and boat-handling skills!
Always stay close to the shore! Pay at-
tention to the weather conditions, storm
warnings and any light signals or flares!
CAUTION!
Please observe the safety rules and ap-
plicable statutory regulations for lakes
and open waters, and for your own safe-
ty always wear an approved life jacket.
CAUTION!
Avoid using sunscreen and skincare
products which contain alcohol. Sun-
screens and skincare products which
contain alcohol can strip off the coloured
layer of this inflatable PVC product.
This can result in staining on your body,
clothing or other articles which come into
contact with the product.
WARNING!
In the event of a person’s falling over-
board, he or she must always climb back
in over the bow or stern, as there is a
high risk of capsizing when climbing in
over the sides.
Avoiding damage to the item!
• All inflatable items are sensitive to cold. Never
unfold and inflate the product at temperatures
below 15°C!
• If the air pressure in the inflatable increases in
direct sun, this must be rectified by releasing the
corresponding amount of air.
• Ensure that the product does not come into
contact with stones, gravel or sharp objects,
particularly when inflated, and do not allow it
to rub or scrape against rough surfaces as this
can cause damage to the PVC.
• Only insert suitable pump adapters into the
safety valves. Use of other adapters could
result in damage to the valves.
• Do not over-inflate – this can result in the seams
splitting open. Ensure the valves are firmly
closed after inflating.
• Avoid contact with sharp, hot, pointy or haz-
ardous items.
