Cleaning and Storage
• When the inflatable product is not being used, store it in a
covered, shaded area. This will help protect it against ultraviolet
(UV) rays and extend the life of the product.
• Clean the inflatable completely with a mild soap and fresh
water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS OR
SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING. NEVER USE A POWER WASHER
SINCE THE HIGH PRESSURE WATER JET WILL DAMAGE THE TUBE
BEYOND REPAIR.
• Product should be completely dry and remain dry while stored.
• Roll the product loosely and place in a container, preferably
one that rodents can’t chew through.
• Secure against unauthorized or unsupervised use.
• Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store product directly on
concrete surface. Place mothballs around stored inflatable to
keep mice and insects away.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Important :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Rodents like muskrats may be attracted to the PVC vinyl of your
product. When your product is on the water, maintaining full
air pressure during periods of non-use will discourage them
from chewing the vinyl.
Another way to ease the problem of nuisance rodents is to
remove the temptation by taking the product out of the water
at night. You can also make the whole area unattractive to
rodents by changing the environment, making the area less
hospitable for rodents. Removing any food source from the
shoreline can also be a good deterrent. Check with your local
DNR for additional guidance or possible restrictions.
