1. Introduction This manual has been prepared to provide the owner / user with the information that is special for the safe use and maintenance of the vessel. The manual only covers the vessel. Mention of other equipment, such as motor, can be found in the manual for this equipment.
Length: 3.50 m Width: 1.50 m River 350 is CE approved for 3 adults in design category C. The rules describe that one adult can be replaced with two children, as long as each on board has a secure seat with something to hold on to.
4. Check before use Check that no damage has occurred to the vessel. If the watertight hull is punctured, so that water has entered between the inner and outer hull, the vessel has lost its sink-free properties. Make sure that paddles and life jackets for everyone on board are brought. If you have an outboard motor, follow the inspection routines for this (see the engine manufacturer’s instruction manual).
7. Landing, lifting and transport The vessel should not be towed on the ground, as this could cause damage to the bottom. When transporting over land, your River should be lifted using lifting straps. When transporting on a trailer, make sure that the hull does not rest against sharp edges, and that the vessel rests in both specified places (see illustration).
The boat can also be stored over time on a boat trailer. But note that a boat trailer with pulleys / wheels that runs in the entire length of the boat is required so that the point load is spread over large parts of the hull. See point 7. 10.
