Congratulations on your Lifetime®watercraft purchase. By following the instructions below, your
new Lifetime®watercraft should provide you with years of service and enjoyment.
Cleaning and Care
Most stains can be removed using a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive cleaning
materials may scratch the plastic and are not recommended.Avoid placing a direct heat source on
or near surfaces unless using a heat barrier.
Helpful Tips For Your Kayak
• ALWAYS store your kayak out of direct sunlight when not in use.Your kayak is manufactured with
UV-resistant color, but a kayak stored in direct sunlight will begin to color fade over time.
• Your new kayak is molded of high-density, polyethylene resin. PERIODIC cleaning with mild soap
and water is recommended to keep your kayak looking new.
• NEVER drag any portion of the kayak over asphalt or any rocky, sandy or abrasive surfaces.
• DO NOT stand or sit on your kayak when out of the water. This can damage the hull.
• DURING REGULAR USE, it is normal to find small amounts of water inside the hull. Remove the
plug at the rear of the kayak and tip the hull to allow the water to drain. SECURE the plug when
finished.
• If your kayak has been exposed to hot sunlight, it is HIGHLY recommended to splash water on
the hull to cool the hot surface before it comes in contact with your skin.
