DEFLATING / FOLDING THE BOAT
We recommend that you leave the H2P floor in the boat when folding. To clean perfectly the boat
proceed as follow:
- Deflate the boat and the floor; then inflate again the boat a little.
- Wash off with clear water, and then raise the boat’s nose to evacuate water and sand or rubbish.
Acti- V models : do not separate the keel from the floor nor from the buttom.
1. Deflate the boat (remember to hold the valve insert on the H2P inflatable floor so that it doesn’t fly
off) and remove the stowage box on Int’l models.
2. Replace the valve protections.
3. Remove oars and equipment.
4. Empty the boat of all water and sand by opening the self-bailers, dry it.
5. Fold in the 2 sides of the main buoyancy tube, fold the cones onto the transom (A), then fold
the boat as show on figure B and C. Start again if you feel there is still some air left in the tubes.
