HOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ORGANIZED

1 The line drawings indicate which parts you'll need to take out
of the bag for that step. A "1:1" indicates that part is drawn
actual size. You can place your part on top to make sure you
have the right part.
2 We put numbers within black circles to help you link the text
instructions with the drawing.
3 The instructions in each step are ordered in the order you
complete them, so read the words AND follow the pictures.
4 When we refer to the left and right sides of the car, we are
referring to the river's point of view from inside the car.
