GENERAL:
To maintain the good appearance of your Caribe boat,we recommend washing
it periodically with a mild soap and water and drying it with a soft cloth.
INFLATABLE PARTS:
Some persistant stains can be removed by a stain remover product that should
not contain solvents.
FIBERGLASS PARTS:
In addition to washing with soap and water we recommend protecting
them with a special wax for gel-coat at least twice a year.
AIR VALVES:
Periodically check that there is no dirt or sand that could obstruct a total seal
CONDESATION VALVE:
Periodically check to verify that the condesation valve has the "O" ring
on and that there is no dirt or sand in the threads of the valve.
WARNING:
Use as few cleaning agents as
possible,do not discharge waste
agents into the water.
CAUTION:
Do not cover the boat with a canvas
until completely dry,as this could damage
the fabric of the tubes due to mildew and
water stains.

Put The valve in close position.The valve is in close position when the internal
poppet is out.
a) Caribe valve:
If the poppet is in,just press it.
b) Other valve:
if the poppet is in press and twist it to get it out
PUMP:
The pump has an adapter at the terminal of the hose, insert the hose with the
locking adapter to the valve and turn to lock.
