Closing remarks
This handbook follows the specifications of the harmonized European Standard EN 10240. Many of
the guidelines will strike you as obvious. Nevertheless, we hope that after reading the individual
chapters, you have attained a deeper understanding of the technical systems and topics. The purpose
of this handbook is, mentioned in the introduction, to provide clear and above all safe information
regarding the use of the boat.
This handbook does not provide information from the domain of seamanship – the piloting of the
ship and working with the crew – nor does it cover the area of safety equipment. These both fall
under the responsibility of the Skipper. It is obvious that personal safety devices must be available
for each person on board – regardless of the regional or national regulations. But safety equipment
may also involve the procurement and maintenance of the safety equipment – for example,
emergency signals, first aid equipment, repair equipment, and life rafts, etc.
Since the guidelines regarding fire deserve a special mention, it is important to mention that the fire
extinguishers must be maintained periodically and that it is the responsibility of the Skipper to
instruct the crew on how to use them.
Those who are prepared for an emergency often are not faced with an emergency. In the case of an
emergency, the boat is already prepared and equipped with the proper tools.14
We are constantly trying to improve our power boats and services. Please understand that we
reserve us the right to make changes in the exterior design, equipment and technology. Therefore no
claims can be made regarding the published data, sketches, figures or descriptions.
The distribution of the boats is in general with the SHIPYARD. Outstanding debts regarding warranty
claims thus have to be made directly to the boatyard.
When purchasing boats over the specialized trade no direct contract relationship exists between the
client and the boatyard. Contract details are not known by SHIPYARD and it is not compulsory
necessary that the specialized trade is giving the same warranties as we do. In such a case any
warranty claims have to be made to your contracting party.
Ordinary maintenance:
Your RIVER 460 is delivered ready for use from the factory/dealer. During the season, small
demands are made on maintenance beyond normal cleaning. Almost all means can be used for
cleaning. The plastic can withstand everything from ordinary household products to heavier
solvents. It is still recommended to test on a small visible field to see if discoloration or changes
in the surface form. Contact your dealer or manufacturer for a detailed description.
