Riva 90 ARGO - Manual Introduction

1 - FOREWORD3
1.2 MANUAL INTRODUCTION
The documentation provided by RIVA to the Owner consists of two types of
documents:
- The “Owner’s Manual”, edited by experienced professional staff in
compliance with the regulations in force;
- The Technical Document Collection, concerning the on-board de-
vices/systems (engines, air conditioning, etc..): it consists in a series
of independent manuals, delivered by the relevant Manufacturer and/
or Suppliers.
The Owner’s manual is the Main Document and must be read in whole,
in any case before considering the documents in the Technical Document
Collection.
The associated Technical Documentation Collection makes up the set of the
Reference Documents that are required to complete the information pro-
vided in the Owner’s Manual. Since these documents are independent and
aimed at giving information on specic single components, it is necessary to
refer to them when indicated by the Main Document.
CAUTION
RIVA recommends carefully reading the whole documentation delivered
by the Manufacturers of the various components.
For all problems concerning the use and the maintenance of components
you can refer directly to the Service Departments listed in the documents
delivered by the Manufacturers.
Anyway, in case of need, some little interventions can be carried out by
the staff on board, after consulting the operation manual.
This manual has been drawn up by RIVA in their mother language (Italian)
and translated into other languages, to satisfy the customer’s requirements,
and has been issued with the purpose of assisting you with the use of your
yacht in full safety and with complete satisfaction.
This manual contains a detailed description of the yacht, of the systems and
devices installed and practical information about its use and maintenance.
Always use trained and competent persons for maintenance, repair and
modications. The modications that may affect the safety features of the
yacht should be evaluated, carried out and documented by competent peo-
ple. The manufacturer of the yacht can not be held responsible for changes
that are not approved.
We highly recommend to read it carefully and to become familiar with its
contents before starting to navigate for the rst time.
If this is your rst yacht, or if this is a type of yacht that you are not familiar
with, for your safety and to ensure your maximum satisfaction, make sure
you have acquired sufcient experience about how to use and operate the
yacht, before “taking the command”.
