Maintenance:

1. Be careful when placing the boat on rough or hard surfaces.

2. Please try to slide and drag the boat on the beach, do not place it on a surface that is too sharp to prevent foreign objects from piercing the hull

3. Always check the hull and accessories (including seat cushions, knee pads, back pads, pedals, etc.), and tighten loose screws to ensure they are in good condition.

4. Pay special attention to the handle part and check whether it is loose or damaged.

5. When exposed to the hot sun or high temperature for a long time, please cover it up to avoid problems such as deformation, aging of plastics and accessories.

6. Please rinse with water after use to remove sand and salt and prolong the service life of the hull and accessories.

7. When using a glass fiber reinforced plastic boat, pay special attention not to let the sea water stay in the hull. The hull absorbs water and becomes heavy.

8. When maintaining the rubber hatch cover, please clean it regularly and apply a little silicone oil on the hatch ring to keep the hatch ring easy to load and unload.

9. When the hatch cover has a rubber sealing strip, please make sure to clean the sealing strip and the cabin ring to remove sand and salt, and regularly check whether the seal is damaged.
