Agenda Item 4.2
DATE: January 10, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Youth Mini-Grant Funding Recommendations Approval Prepared by: Liz Elliott, Recreation Supervisor
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving the Youth Advisory Committee Mini-Grant Program recommended funding allocations.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving Funding Recommendations for Fiscal Year 2022-23 for the Youth Advisory Committee Mini-Grant Program.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Youth Mini-Grant Program is supported by the General Fund in the amount of $2,500 for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

DESCRIPTION:

The City established the Mini-Grant Program in Fiscal Year 2012-13 to support youth organizations that offer programs for middle and high school students other than those offered by the Parks and Community Services Department. Each year, Dublin-based youth organizations/clubs have an opportunity to apply for grant funding to assist them in offering activities to the community, including performing arts, sports, multicultural awareness, health awareness, or other activities that support projects or programs benefiting Dublin youth. Funding is recommended annually by the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) and awarded by the City Council to organizations/clubs that best meet the needs of Dublin youth.

At a Special Meeting on March 5, 2020, the City Council opted to increase funding for the Youth Mini-Grant program from $1,600 to $2,500. The increase in funding was incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2020-21 and future year operating budgets.

The Youth Mini-Grant application was placed online Monday, October 3, 2022, with a submittal deadline of November 3, 2022. The program was advertised via social media, the City’s website, at 55

Dublin high and middle schools, and was sent to the YAC to assist with publicity.

At its Special Meeting on November 16, 2022, the YAC received presentations and used a criteria form (Attachment 2) to review, rate, and develop funding recommendations for each of the following applicants:

1. DubMed

2. Gardeners of the Galaxy

3. SHAPE (Student Health Advocates for a Positive Environment)

4. Teens Unite for Education
After the presentations, YAC members deliberated and further discussed the applicants, specifically Gardeners of the Galaxy and Student Health Advocates for a Positive Environment (SHAPE).

Gardeners of the Galaxy provides microgreens to the Dublin High School student lunch program that serves over 3,000 students daily. Over the past three years, the organization has doubled the amount of Dublin youth served with the help of funding from the Youth Mini-Grant Program. The Commitee discussed the proposal and awarded the full requested amount.

SHAPE focuses on improving and supporting students' overall health at Dublin High School. Their specific goal is to provide sunscreen dispensers and sunscreen for students to utilize when visiting the Sports Complex. During their oral presentation SHAPE requested an added $100 above the amount initially requested. After reviewing programming aspects, they found that the sunscreen bottles will require wall mounts, costing more for installation. The Committee discussed the idea and decided to recommend SHAPE receive an added $100. The organization serves 200 Dublin High School student-athletes.

After the presentations, YAC members deliberated and recommended funding amounts for each of the four organizations as follows:

63 DubMed 2022 Youth Mini Grant Request
A brief description of your organization.

DubMed is a medical magazine founded by students at Dublin High school who want to tackle the issue of accessibility in STEM. In scientific literature today, the concepts and vocabulary used to describe these topics make it extremely difficult for the general public to understand. Our mission is to create magazines targeting interesting health topics and discoveries that will be both more comprehensible and accessible to accommodate a more diverse group of people. We believe that health education should be open to people regardless of their educational background, because advancement is not made through the intelligence of solely one individual but begins through the contribution of a whole community. We have already developed 2 full editions, which were presented at HOSA’s (Future Health Professionals) Health Education event, and placed third overall in the California state.

Describe the project and how it will benefit Dublin youth.

There are many exciting discoveries and research within the health or science fields, yet due to its limited accessibility, many are unaware of these topics. Ultimately, our goal is to create both an informative and comprehensible medical magazine that will allow for high school students to be acquainted with ongoing medical issues as well as novel research. The more knowledgeable our community is about health issues, the more we can improve the quality of life on a day to day basis. Students will also be encouraged to join the effort, with opportunities to spread their health knowledge in the magazine. We also hope to get rid of the notion that you must use difficult vocabulary or grammar in order to sound professional. No matter how “informal” the 64 language, if it is able to create change and impact the audience, it is still an influential piece of writing that should be acknowledged.

Every month, we focus on a different topic that targets a different subject; for example, one of our editions last year focused on mental health. For the month of November this year, we will be focusing on Sports Health. Many Dublin youths participate in a sport, and it is important to emphasize the health risks related with playing these sports. Not only does our magazine provide a platform for students interested in STEM to write, but it also directly tackles issues that are most important to teenagers today.

Describe what and how the funds/grant will be used.

The funds will be used to print the magazines themselves, so that physical copies of the magazine can be distributed. Using the supplier MGX Print, around 100 copies will result in ~$180, around $1.80 per magazine. This number may slightly shift depending on the number of pages within the magazine when it is in its finalized stages. We are planning on developing 3 editions this school year, and the number of magazines printed will be around 100 for each edition. Any leftover funds will be saved for the next edition, or for the next school year. We are requesting a total of $500 to begin printing 2 editions this school year.

Explain what proof will be given to the Youth Advisory Committee that funds were used as proposed.

A receipt of the transaction will be provided to the Youth Advisory Committee, as well as a copy of the physical magazine to prove the funds were used as proposed. 65 Youth Advisory Committee - Youth Mini Grant Request for Proposals General Information:

We were proud to receive our first grant of $480 from the City of Dublin in 2020. We used those funds to donate over 85 trays (30 pounds) of sunflower microgreens and gave away over 500 sunflower seedlings during the food drive for people to grow in their backyards. 950 families in DUSD were fed chicken and vegetarian wraps made using our salad greens. We were awarded a $700 grant for the year 2021â€“2022, and in less than three months of operation, we were able to grow and distribute 115 trays (45 pounds of microgreens!). Over 3000 diets have been supplemented with this since early 2021.

Dear Ms. Elliot and fellow YAC members,
I am emailing again as the previous email was sent by accident before the grant proposal was finalized. I hope you can disregard my first email and please consider the following. Thank you.

It is with much delight that I am reapplying for the youth grant for 2023.

My name is Arjun Karur-Parekh and I am a junior at Dublin High School. Since I began gardening in the fifth grade, I have founded a group called the "Gardeners of the Galaxy." Our goal is to cultivate and contribute healthy food options to the students of Dublin Unified School District, Tri-Valley Food Pantry, and anyone else in need. Food that is fresh, healthful, and reasonably priced is always needed. Our group had the pleasure of meeting that need by giving over 100 trays of pea microgreens to the DUSD during the previous academic year with the aid of the youth grant we received. With students back in school, the need for fresh affordable options is even higher this year and our group hopes to continue our efforts with the aid of another grant.

Growing microgreens will be the main emphasis of our group. It will consist of 3-5 who will grow the greens and deliver them to the DUSD school kitchens, as well as to Fertile Groundworks, a non-profit church organization that has volunteered to be our distributor to local food pantries. Adding microgreens to the menu will enhance the nutritional value because the nutrition density is up to 6 times greater than mature leafy greens. Our goal is to grow 5-10 pounds of microgreens a week. To meet all the safety standards, we have obtained a community producer license from the Alameda County of Environmental Services. In addition, Mr. Frank Castro, the director of nutritional services is our sponsor from the school district and has been an excellent supporter.

Funding is essential for this project's continuation since it will be necessary to purchase trays, soil, and seeds. Growing one tray costs 69 roughly $6.10 and can yield up to 16 servings! By collaborating with local businesses, we hope to reduce the cost even further by bulk purchasing.

At specific checkpoints, photos will be taken to document how the money was utilized, and correct bookkeeping, i.e. Every harvest is weighed, photos taken at delivery, reliable databases, and there are treasury logs. To draw even more attention to our organization, a website with all project-related information will also be made.

We were proud to receive our first grant of $480 from the City of Dublin in 2020. We used those funds to donate over 85 trays (30 lbs) of sunflower microgreens and gave away over 500 sunflower seedlings during the food drive for people to grow in their backyards! 950 families in DUSD were fed chicken and vegetarian wraps made using our salad greens. We were awarded a $700 grant for the year 2021–2022, and in less than three months of operation, we were able to grow and distribute 115 trays (45 pounds of microgreens!). Over 3000 diets have been supplemented with this since early 2021. We will be starting our growing earlier this year and hope to get at least 5 months of growth in. This would help to nearly double the amount of meals enhanced.

We genuinely wish to keep working hard. Securing the YAC’s support will help with the expansion and reach of our club. All of us have been affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, but with innovative ideas and teamwork, we firmly think we can have a profound influence on our neighborhood.

Thank you again for supporting us and we look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,
Arjun Karur-Parekh

Dear Ms. Elliot
It is with much delight that I am reapplying for the youth grant for 2023.

My name is Arjun Karur-Parekh and I am a junior at Dublin High school. I have been gardening since I was in 5th grade and have started an organization called the“Gardeners of the Galaxy ''. Our goal is to grow and donate healthy food options to the students of Dublin 70 Unified School District, Tri-Valley Food Pantry, and anyone else in need. By all means the COVID-19 pandemic is not continues to evolve, the need for fresh, healthy, affordable food remains constant and ever-present. Last school year, with the aid of the youth grant, our club had the pleasure of contributing to that need by donating over 100 trays of pea microgreens to the DUSD. With students back in school, the need for fresh affordable options is even higher this year and our group hopes to continue our efforts with the aid of another grant.

Our club will be primarily focusing on growing microgreens. It will consist of 3-5 who will be growing and delivering them to the DUSD school kitchens, as well as to Fertile Groundworks, a non-profit church organization that has volunteered to be our distributor to food pantries. Adding microgreens to the menu will enhance the nutritional value because the nutrition density is up to 6 times greater than mature leafy greens. Our goal is to grow 5-10 pounds of microgreens a week. To meet all the safety standards, we have obtained a community producer license from the Alameda County of
Environmental Services. In addition Mr. Frank Castro, the director of nutritional services is our sponsor from the school district and has been an excellent supporter.

If we wish to sustain this project, funding is crucial and will be used to buy trays, soil, and seeds. The cost of growing 1 tray is about $6.10 which can yield up to 16 servings! By collaborating with local businesses, we hope to reduce the cost even further by bulk purchasing.

To prove that the funds are used as proposed, pictures will be taken at certain milestones and accurate bookkeeping will be initiated, ie. pictures taken at each delivery, weighing of product every harvest, accurate databases, and treasury logs. Additionally, a website with all information regarding the project will be created to get additional attention to our group.

We were proud to receive our first grant of $480 from the City of Dublin in 2020. We used those funds to donate over 85 trays of microgreens and gave away over 500 sunflower seedlings during the food drive for people to grow in their backyards! Those salad greens were used to enhance the nutritional value of chicken and vegetarian wraps which fed more than 950 families throughout DUSD! For the 2021/22 grant, we received $700 and with that, we were able to grow and donate 115 trays and almost 45 pounds in less than 3 months of operation. With this, we helped supplement over 2000 diets and about 3000 diets since early 2021. We will be starting our growing earlier this year and hope to get at least 5 months of growing in and this would help to nearly double the amount of meals enhanced. 71 We sincerely hope to continue our efforts and secure your support with this grant, so we can grow and support those in need.

The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a toll on all of us and with creative ideas and working together, we truly believe we can make a huge impact on our community.

Thank you again for supporting us and we look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,
Arjun

75 Dear Dublin Youth Advisory Committee and the City of Dublin, We are SHAPE (Student Health Advocates for a Positive Environment), a club at Dublin High School centered around community health and helping others live a healthier lifestyle.

SHAPE was founded by two Dublin student athletes who realized that their needs and the needs of several other students were not being met. The catalyst? Seeing dozens of kids spending hours in the sun without sunscreen. Considering that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US, sunscreen is a basic necessity to half one’s risk of cancer and melanoma. We decided that we wanted to tackle this issue, and other ones such as menstrual disorders, homelessness, and water quality.

Our objective is to improve and support the health of all students on campus, as well as the community. Through the many projects we will complete, members will learn about the different issues students experience on campus. Projects will provide and implement solutions on campus, aiding hundreds students by giving them important resources and promoting healthier habits schoolwide, leading to a healthier student body.

We are incredibly focused on finding ways to make a loud, direct impact on our community. Our first project, funding sunscreen dispensers for our Sports Complex, will be positively impacting hundreds of different athletes: from soccer players, cross country runners, and sprinters, to tennis players, golfers, and swimmers. Simultaneously, we are also working on arranging guest speakers to talk about an issue we see present in our community, the Female Athlete Triad, which is a set of health issues common in female athletes that has directly caused several bone problems, mental health struggles, decreased athletic performance, and injuries for our athletes. These, along with scheduled projects to help the homeless this winter, stock 76 bathrooms with menstrual products, and make first aid more accessible, are ways we are impacting the Dublin student body.

We already conducted our first fundraiser by selling Halloween grams for students, but running our solutions requires more funding than we currently have. Although we have raised enough for the installation of sunscreen dispensers in the Sports Complex, funding from this grant will allow us to consistently refill the dispenser for the spring season, giving students and athletes daily access to this resource. Maintenance is estimated to be around $50 dollars a month for three months, serving over 200 student athletes. From there, we will also begin stocking other supplies, such as menstrual products. This winter we are going to run a series of knitting classes, where families all over Dublin can participate in knitting hats and scarves for local homeless shelters. Though the majority of this event will be fueled by volunteers, we have an estimated $50 cost for this workshop. This will require funding to provide participants with the necessary materials for knitting. Finally, we are prototyping water filtration systems throughout campus, making cleaner water available to students. We have noticed that students frequently complain about their poor water quality at school, with many choosing to be dehydrated over drinking the water provided. Since our advisor and school have extra materials that we can use, the cost for this project is around $30. Other workshops and guest speakers are also planning to be run.

As proof of proper handling of funds, SHAPE is dedicated to tracking our earnings, spendings, and other transactions. We keep all this information in our club records, as well as keep receipts of any purchases the club makes. This information will be consistently updated and shared with the Youth Advisory Committee. All files and treasury information is maintained on a Google Drive Folder, which will be shared with the YAC, and pictures of events are posted on 77 our social media. At the end of the year, SHAPE is willing to hold a meeting/presentation with the YAC to discuss the outcomes of the club and the usage of the funds.

Thank you for considering our request, and we hope you support our mission to create a healthier community in Dublin.

Sincerely,
Laasya Balupari and Isha Mittal
Co-Presidents of SHAPE @ Dublin High

81 Teens Unite For Education Mini Grant Proposal
Dear Youth Advisory Committee Members,
My name is Saiesha Goel and I am the President of Teens Unite For Education at Dublin High School. This club was founded in 2017 by Shaina Goel. The members of our club are students from four grade levels at Dublin High School. The mission of our club is to provide necessary resources to kids in low income families which will allow them to succeed and thrive in their educational journey. This year, our aim is to provide backpacks and school supplies to all students at a local low-income preschool, Kidango. Kidango is located in West Dublin right next to Dublin High School. Many people think that people who live in Dublin are financially well off, but this isn’t always the case. Therefore, we would like to give back to our local community and help those in need. By donating to people who may not be able to afford the necessary supplies for their children, we are supporting our future generation strive towards their desired goals. We plan to donate backpacks, notebooks, writing utensils, erasers, rulers, small non-perishable snacks, etc. In the past years, we have also donated $200+ to a nonprofit organization called Yours Humanly. Yours Humanly has a similar goal as us, they help kids in low-income housing, all over the world, get a chance to receive the gift of education.

Although we hope to receive the grant to ensure that we continue to give back to our local community, we will also continue to fundraise throughout the year. We plan on partnering with teen hotspots like BobaX, T4, Panda Express, Ini Burger, Chipotle, etc. If we are granted the funds we are requesting, we will provide receipts to prove that we are using the money to buy the necessary supplies for the students. We will also include pictures of the dropoff and handing out the backpacks.
82 In the past, our club has graciously been granted donations by the Youth Advisory Mini Grant Committee. Each year, we have spent this money wisely and given children backpacks full of treats and school supplies. One year, we were able to fundraise additional funds which we used towards holding a nutritional class at Kidango. This class helped educate little kids and their families on the importance of nutrition and picking healthier snack options to keep them physically healthy.

Last year we used the grant money to buy backpacks, pencils, folders, pencil pouches, and more. At the end of the year, we delivered the backpacks full of supplies to Kidango, Dublin.

Our donation helped these kids and their families be better prepared for their upcoming school year.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Saiesha Goel
President of Teens Unite for Education
83 STAFF REPORT

CITY COUNCIL

Agenda Item 4.3
DATE: January 10, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Plans and Specifications and Award of Contract to St. Francis Electric for the Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade - Conduit Installation for Future Fiber Interconnect on Dublin Boulevard Project, CIP No. ST0713
Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Associate Civil (Traffic) Engineer EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving the plans and specifications and awarding a construction contract to St. Francis Electric for the Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade - Conduit Installation for Future Fiber Interconnect on Dublin Boulevard Project, CIP No. ST0713. The project will install a three-inch conduit on Dublin Boulevard between the Civic Center and San Ramon Road. This project is exempt under Section 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to St.

Francis Electric for the Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade - Conduit Installation for Future Fiber Interconnect on Dublin Boulevard Project, CIP No. ST0713.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The bid submitted by St. Francis Electric is $806,000. Since the project involves directional drilling and installation of a conduit under the sidewalk with the potential for utility conflicts, Staff recommends a construction contingency of $160,000 (about 20%) to facilitate change orders for unforeseen construction issues, bringing the total potential construction cost to $966,000.

Sufficient funds are available in the approved budget for CIP No. ST0713. 84

Page 2 of 3 ends

DESCRIPTION:

The 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade, CIP No. ST0713 (Attachment 2), which provides for a variety of upgrades to the City’s signal communications infrastructure. The subject project, Conduit Installation for Future Fiber Interconnect on Dublin Boulevard, is part of the scope of CIP No. ST0713 and will install a threeinch conduit on Dublin Boulevard between the Civic Center and San Ramon Road. In a future phase, a fiber optic interconnect will be installed in the conduit, and all the intersections along Dublin Boulevard between the Civic Center and San Ramon Road will be upgraded to a faster, more reliable, and higher bandwidth network connection.

Bid Process and Results
The City of Dublin issued the bid package for the project on November 14, 2022. The bid package was made up of 10 base bid items. Three sealed bids with the base bid amounts of $806,000, $975,910, and $1,100,300 were received by the deadline of December 13, 2022. The lowest base bid of $806,000 was submitted by St. Francis Electric. A summary of the bids is provided as Attachment 3.

Compliance with Community Workforce Agreement
On January 11, 2022, the City Council approved a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County and its Affiliated Local Unions.

The CWA is applicable to public works projects valued at over $1,000,000, ensures that there are no labor issues related to said projects, and bolsters local efforts to connect residents with careers in the building and construction trades. The CWA includes a Local Hire Goal where 20% of all hours on a project be worked by Local Residents, which are defined as individuals that reside within Alameda County or within a 15-mile radius of City limits. The CWA also requires contractors to hire one new apprentice for the first $1,000,000 of construction costs, and an additional new apprentice for every $5,000,000 of construction costs, based on the engineer’s estimate. Apprentices must work a minimum of 10% of the total craft’s work hours, but the CWA allows that apprentices may be deployed to another project to ensure the minimum number of hours are met.

Although the lowest bid is less than $1,000,000, the engineer’s estimate for the project was between $900,000 and $1,000,000, so Staff worked with a consultant, Workforce Integrity and Training Solutions, to prepare bid documents that comply with the provisions of the CWA. The provisions include that responsive bidders and their subcontractors must provide an executed agreement to be bound to and by the CWA within 14 days after notice of award.

Recommendation
Staff reviewed the bid results, checked references and necessary licenses, and recommends that the City Council award the construction contract to St. Francis Electric as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. St. Francis Electric did include an executed agreement to be bound to the CWA with their bid.

To facilitate the approval of change orders and avoid construction delays, Staff recommends that the City Manager or designee be authorized to approve change orders up to the contingency 85

Page 3 of 3 ends

amount of $160,000. With the award of the contract as Staff proposes, the total project construction cost could be $966,000, including a contingency amount of $160,000, funded by CIP No. ST0713.

Staff expects the construction phase of the project to begin in early 2023 and complete in spring 2023.

This project is exempt under Section 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines.

PREMIUM PRODUCTS WE USE
Ashland Gel-Kote /Premium grade Vinyl Ester blend grade filler / 3M-4000 marine grade caulk / Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin / Amerlock Clear Primer / PSX-700 Polysiloxane paint (marine grade) / Fiberglass – 1.5 oz. chop Mat & Biaxial 1088 /Acetone / 3M Super Duty Compound Gel coat is referred to the interior coating on fiberglass slides and is the only coating to be used to protect the underlying fiberglass, per the manufacture. White gel is recommended for more of a maintenance free, because white gel looks cleaner even when light oxidation is present.

Paint is only applied to the exterior of slides. A commercial marine grade paint is the only coating suitable for a slides exterior coating per manufacturer's recommendations.

Oxidation should be removed annually with a professional maintenance plan. Oxidation build up results in drag for riders and acts like sandpaper, scuffing mills of gel off slide when riders go down the slide.

Thinning gel is when mils are removed slowly over time with regular usage of slide, chemicals, weather, oxidation, and annual polish & buff. A slide that has the proper mils of gel coat applied (18-24mls) should last 8 to 10 years, if maintained properly.

Failed coatings Gel or paint– The coating lift, bubbles, peels. This may result from Incorrect product used, not mixed/applied properly, unsuitable weather conditions during application, or coating was not applied according to industry standards. Solution: Re-gel or repaint with Amerlock primer. Failed coatings compromise the fiberglass.

Only use Vinyl Ester Blend Grade Filler will be used for repairs.

Polish & Wax is a cosmetic refurbish. Structural refurbish is defined as an obvious threat to the guests.

Unless otherwise specified, in the work description above, structural refurbishment is not included in the proposal nor price. If Structural refurbishment is required and is not noted on the proposal to repair/refurbish, a change order will be required to include the refurbishment / repair.

Please note that large amounts of dust will be created from the project that we have no control over.

We do a thorough power wash afterwards, removing any dust caused by sanding, to restore cleanliness to the facility.
*Caulked seams are not a guarantee to stop them from leaking and are not under warranty.

Slides that require an additional coat of paint will be charged an additional 50% of first cote price due to time/materials/extra process to ensure premium quality outcome.

Slide Guys Restoration reserves the right to have adequate access to the project area in order to complete the project as efficiently as Slide Guys Restoration deems necessary. This may require, but not limited, to working 8 hours per day/5 days a week.

Part I GENERAL OPERATING GUIDELINES
Important Notice
The following operating procedures are presented to waterslide owners as guidelines only. They are not intended to be mandatory or exhaustive. These guidelines do not replace proper consultation with designers, manufacturers and legal counsel, and compliance with local, state (provincial) and federal laws and regulations involving, but not limited to: health, safety and building codes.

General Operating Considerations

1. Customers
While customers are the key ingredients to the success of any waterpark, certain rules and procedures must be made clear for the park to function efficiently and safely.

1.1 Posted Signs
A sign must be posted at the entrance to the waterpark that states user responsibility and conveys the following rules and regulations:

1. Read and obey all posted signs.

2. Obey all instructions given by the attendants and operators.

3. No glass, cigarettes and/or food are permitted in the water slide area.

4. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted in the park.

5. Pregnant women and those with a history of heart problems or back trouble should not use the slides.

6. Failure to follow rules and instructions can lead to serious injuries.

7. Ride at your own risk.

Note: Specific sign requirements for each waterslide are detailed in Part II - Specific Operating Guidelines.

1.2 Access
Provisions must be made to prevent customers from entering the water slide at any points other than at the designated entry access points.

1.3 Physical Condition
Waterslide customers must be checked for proper swimwear and adequate physical condition. Swim attire should not have any metal parts that could damage the slides or cause injuries. Customers who show signs of drug and/or alcohol impairment will not be permitted on the site. 148
March 13, 2017
Center

Page 8 ends

1.4 Visitors and Spectators
Visitors and spectators should be physically separated from the areas used by sliders. They should be kept a safe distance away from any wet areas and not be permitted to interfere with the sliders.

1.5 Food and Drinks
No food or drinks are allowed in the immediate area of flumes and pools or on decks, stairs and walkways surrounding flumes and pools. Food and beverages should be confined to visitor and spectator areas or similarly marked areas for sliders. Trash containers should be provided to keep litter off decks and walkways and out of flumes and pools.

2. Attendants
Waterpark attendants are responsible for safe and orderly conduct of customers, safe entry and exit of riders from the slides, general crowd control and emergency procedures.

During operating hours, there must be at least one attendant on duty at all times who has completed a Red Cross or equivalent Standard First Aid and Safety course. This person must also be competent in carrying out any emergency procedures specific to the slide he or she is operating.

Every water slide should be equipped with a battery or electronically operated system to provide voice communication between attendants at different locations on the slides and park office or permanently manned control center.

2.1 Top of Slides
The area at the top of every water slide must be supervised by at least one attendant who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner.
• Ensuring that customers enter slides or rafts/mats properly. • Ensuring that customers are dispatched at safe intervals. • Visually surveying all areas of the water slide that are visible from attendant’s position, with the exception of the splash pool, and communicating any problems to the other attendants.
• Ensuring that customers meet the minimum and/or maximum restrictions for the slide.
• Ensuring that any vehicles used are in good condition and if inflated, inflated properly.
149
March 13, 2017
Center

Page 9 ends

2.2 Splash Pool
The recommended depth for the splash pool is 3.5 feet (1.07 metres) except otherwise noted in special conditions and therefore must be supervised by at least one certified lifeguard who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner.
• Ensuring that customers move into and out of splash pool in a quick and orderly manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on pool decks. • Ensuring pool water levels are correct.

2.3 Runout Lane
The runout lanes of waterslides must be supervised by at least one attendant who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner.
• Ensuring that customers exit runout lane in a quick and orderly manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on slide apron. • Ensuring water levels are at level marks and flow transition is within indicator markings.

2.4 Water Treatment
A specific person on each shift should be responsible for chlorination and water treatment procedures. They should be thoroughly trained in all aspects including, routine operations, handling, connection, disconnection, emergency procedures and leak control procedures. A safety chart should be posted in or near the chlorination room and a second safety chart should be placed in the pool office near the telephone. Emergency telephone numbers should also be shown on the safety charts.

2.5 Pool Operations
A specific person on each shift should be made responsible for all swimming pool operations, such as: circulation and filtering system operation, maintenance, inspections, backwashing and cleaning. They should be thoroughly trained by an expert in swimming pool operations.

Page 10 ends

the date of the last entry. Log book entries that cover the twelve (12) month period previous to the last entry in the log book should be kept readily available.

3.1 Slide Inspections
Daily inspections must be made to check for:
• obstructions in slide paths
• cracks, chips or bubbles in sliding surfaces
• rough patchwork at joints or cracks
• caulking protruding from joined flanges
• leaking seals at joints
• loose risers on turns
• excessive movement of flumes when walked on
• joints opening up
• proper inflation and condition of rafts, tubes and vehicles • landing or pool bottom padding, if used, is in good condition and properly secured.

3.2 Mechanical Inspections
Daily inspections must be completed on each waterslide:
• before water is circulated to ensure no safety hazards exist • with the water circulating to ensure there is sufficient water flowing in the channel and correct water level is in splash pool or runout lane • to ensure that all the pumping and filtration equipment is operating correctly
• to ensure that conveyor system is operating properly and poses no hazard It is the attendant's responsibility to ensure water flow is maintained in accordance with manufacturers’ guidelines. Serious hazards may develop when flow is interrupted in a flume.

3.3 Chemical Inspections
Proper water chemical balance must be obtained each day before the facility is opened to the public. While the facility is operational, water quality testing should be performed at intervals in accordance with local health authority’s guidelines. Inspections should also be made during periods of heavy usage to ensure circulation and filtration systems are handling peak loads. The attendant must keep logs of all water testings performed. A typical form for water quality testing is shown in Appendix 1-I.

The attendant must ensure that customers cannot come in contact with water treatment, re-circulation and filtration equipment. Mechanical and chemical storage rooms must be locked at all times to prevent customer access. 151

Page 11 ends

4. Accidents
The most common accidents in waterparks are: slips and falls, collisions between one riding customer and another customer, impact with the pool surface, and abrasions from sidewalls. Operators should keep detailed logs of all reported accidents onsite. A typical accident report form is included in Appendix 1-II.

4.1 Incident Reporting
The owner or operator shall notify the manufacturer (Whitewater West Industries Ltd.) of any known serious incidents that require immediate hospital admission. Minor injuries that may or may not require treatment shall be reported to the manufacturer if deemed to be related to the equipment design or function.

There may be local jurisdiction and laws requiring notification of incidents.

The owner or operator may be required to notify these local jurisdictions in addition to the above.

4.2 Floatation Devices
The operator should not infer that rafts, tubes or any other floatation device, with exception of government approved life jackets, offer the user any safety benefit. Where unapproved floatation devices are provided, signs should be posted stating they are for pleasure only and should not be used as a substitute for approved floatation devices.

Proper periodic maintenance of walking surfaces should be carried out to remove the growth of algae and fungi which could inhibit the surfaces intended function. Adequate drainage should be maintained around all areas of the slides.

The entry section to flumes should be given particular attention with respect to slips and falls. The combination of the flowing water and the customer contacting water on a slippery surface for the first time can be confusing and disorienting. The exit area of the splashdown pool will always be wet and flowing with water which requires special attention with respect to slipresistant surfaces, drainage and number and location of attendants.

To minimize slip and fall type accidents, attendants throughout the waterpark should control running and horseplay.
152

Page 12 ends

4.4 Bodily Collisions
Bodily collisions occur in flumes and splash pools as a result of riders traveling at different speeds and riders slowing or stopping in the flume.

Restricting traffic flow with proper dispatching intervals can minimize these bodily collisions. The top attendant and lower attendant must have a view of much of the slide and a means of communication between them. The entry attendant must be alert and aware that people will travel at different rates due to variations in body weight, body friction, and rider position. Generally, the heavier the person, the faster the rider will travel. Slippery materials like nylon slide much faster than cotton clothing. All other factors being equal, riders in a sitting position will travel slower than a person lying flat on their back. Under no circumstances should customers be permitted to ride flumes in a standing position. Similarly, running or leaping entry into flumes is not to be permitted.

In addition to slide entry attendants, use of signal lights or electro-mechanical starting gates should be considered for rider entry control.

As bodily collisions in splash pool area cannot be fully controlled even with proper entry rates; splash pool attendants should be well trained, attentive and aggressive, continuously urging and encouraging customers to leave the flume discharge and splash pool area as quickly as possible. They must be alert to the possibility of problems and be prepared to enter the water at any time to assist a customer. In the event of a delay at discharge, following riders should be stopped at the entry. Riders tend to congregate in the pool because they are temporarily confused and disoriented upon impact with the water, to wait for their friends who are coming behind, or to socialize with persons in the splash pool. Collisions also result from multiple rider entry (i.e. trains). This practice is absolutely prohibited even for small children being carried on their parent's legs.

If marker buoys or lane ropes are used in the splash pool, they must be arranged so they do not become obstacles for riders. Such devices, if used, should float and be simple in design to avoid the possibility of entangling riders.

4.5 Chemical Hazards
Personnel must be fully trained in the use of water chemicals. Potentially fatal accidents could result from the release of gaseous chlorine. Improper chemical control could result in skin and eye irritation from excessive treatment. Bacterial problems could also arise from inadequate treatment.

5. Emergency Procedures
Every park must have an emergency plan with specific procedures covering:
• crowd control
153
March 13, 2017
Center

Page 13 ends

• park evacuation
• drowning
• heart attacks
• cuts and burns
• neck and spinal injuries
• power or other utility failures
• fires
• security (fights, robbery, vandalism)
• exposure to chlorine
• environmental conditions (e.g., lightning, windstorms, hail, earthquakes) An emergency plan should address those factors which affect, human safety, protection and correction of equipment, and customer relations. All employees should be trained and drilled periodically in the execution of the emergency plan.

The emergency plan should be easily accessible and be located with first aid equipment and emergency telephone numbers.

Each facility should have a list of current emergency numbers posted by a telephone. The list should include the contact information for the nearest available doctor, ambulance service, hospital, rescue service, police department, fire department and poison control center. A typical emergency telephone list is shown in Appendix 1-III.

Each facility should have available the following first aid supplies:
• A standard 24-unit first aid kit stocked and readily accessible for use. • A stretcher and blankets.
• A standard plywood backboard or other acceptable splint for persons with back and neck injuries.
• An area or room set aside for the emergency care of injuries.

6. Operator’s Changes
WhiteWater should be advised of any changes made in slides, structures or equipment, manufactured, designed or installed by WhiteWater West Industries Ltd. Changes could affect the safety of the attraction. 154

GUIDELINES
171
March 13, 2017 Page 31 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Part III MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR FRP FLUME
If properly maintained, your waterslide will give you years of service and keep sliding the way it was meant to - SAFE and FUN. By keeping the slide and its components properly maintained, you will be ensuring high performance and long life.

1. Cleaning
Maintenance requires removal of surface dirt, grease and suntan oil by cleaning the flumes with a soft-bristled brush and mild detergent such as 3M - “Multi Purpose Boat Soap”. For hard water buildup (a white chalky discoloration) removal/maintenance use “C.L.R.” or other cleaners specific for this purpose. For removal of difficult stains use a cut polish or rubbing compound and finish wax or a combination product such as 3M “Marine One-Step Fiberglass Restorer and Wax”.

2. Waxing
At least twice each year, the fiberglass finish should be waxed and buffed with high quality paste wax or polish such as 3M “Marine One-Step Fiberglass Restorer and Wax”. On scratched, dull or faded areas use a fine buffing compound to restore the original gloss before waxing. Prolonged exposure to the ultra-violet rays of the sun can in time, cause discoloring and fading. We recommend using paste waxes or polishes containing ultra-violet screens. The more often the surface is waxed, the longer it will last.

CAUTION: If you use power tools for buffing or polishing, use extreme care to prevent overheating the surface. Overheating a rubbing compound burns small gritty particles into the slide surface causing blistering and streaking. This may require the area to be sanded and repainted.

3. Joints
Slide joints play an important role in rider comfort and pleasure. Proper maintenance will keep the joints smooth and trouble free for years.

3.1Joint Caulking
All fiberglass sections will expand and contract with temperature changes.

Therefore, joints between sections are filled with a flexible, elastic caulking. Should the joints need re-caulking, all the old filler should be removed, the fiberglass should be cleaned and joints should be re-filled using a flexible polyurethane sealant. DO NOT use plastic filler that will harden. Under no circumstances should the joints be fiberglassed over. Excess joint caulking should be removed from the slide surface by scraping it off with a putty knife. Any remaining traces should be wiped off with lacquer thinner applied to a rag. Do not pour lacquer thinner directly onto a flume joint as it can dissolve the sealant.
172
March 13, 2017 Page 32 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

3.2 Joint Roughness
Joints may become rough with use, especially if metal articles are allowed down the slide. For minor chips and cracks, the joints may be fixed using the procedures outlined in Part III, Section 4.

More serious cases may require power sanding that will cut through the gelcoat.

This will require a spray application of new gelcoat by a trained person, finished by sanding and polishing and waxing as outlined in Part III.

4. Patching
Chips and cracks may appear in fiberglass flumes from normal usage. The following sections outline procedures to repair minor damage to slides. Due to the hazardous nature of materials used and variability of application methods, we recommend that a qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.

4.1Minor Chips and Cracks
In areas that have chips or cracks in the gelcoat only, or have a scratch that is deep enough to penetrate through the gelcoat to the fiberglass but not deep enough to go completely through the laminate, follow the procedures given in Part III, Section 4.4.

NOTE: For damage that penetrates completely through or deep into the laminate, we recommend that a qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.

4.2Surface Cracks
Hairline cracks, sometimes called spider webbing, or star cracks may develop in the gelcoat or surface coating of the fiberglass product. This is caused by a combination of weathering, vibrations, and/or impacts. Although unsightly, they do not necessarily affect structural strength. The hairline cracks can be fixed by sanding out the affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re-coating the surface with gelcoat. Follow the patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4 through 6.

4.3Cracks around Flanges
The area around the flanges of flumes contains a thick layer of gelcoat which is very stiff. Stresses from normal use may cause cracks in the gelcoat around the flanges.

These are not structural cracks. Flange cracks may be remedied by sanding the affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re-coating with gelcoat. Follow the patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4 through 6. 173
March 13, 2017 Page 33 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

4.4Repair Procedures
WARNING:

Patching kits contain toxic, combustible and corrosive elements. Use only under well ventilated conditions. Do not inhale fumes. Seek medical attention if polyester resins are swallowed or inhaled. Should contact occur with the eye flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If person is wearing contact lenses and the lenses did not flush out from the water, have the person try to remove AFTER the flushing procedure. If contents come in contact with skin or clothing, clean the area immediately with acetone.

Before you start, you will need:
1 Sandpaper: 36 - 100 grit; 220 - 320 grit wet and dry; 600 grit wet and dry 2 Sanding block
3 Acetone

March 13, 2017 Page 35 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center (iv) PART IV

SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS
176
March 13, 2017 Page 36 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

PART IV SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS

1. The ASTM standard F 2376-XX Standard Practice for Classification, Design, Manufacture, Construction, and Operation of Water Slide Systems.

The ASTM standard F 2376 for Water Slide Systems is a standard developed specifically to cover Water Slide systems. The standard references several other standards which together form the basis of a complete standard for the Design, Manufacture, Construction and Operation of Water Slide Systems. Operators are encouraged to become active members of the ASTM F24 group. The fees are nominal and provide access to the relevant standards. Operators should be aware of these standards and the responsibilities outlined within them.

General Description of Rides
Waterslides use the flow of water to propel or lubricate the movement of riders down a fixed fiberglass flume section. The riders may ride alone with no vehicle, in groups on specially designed inflatable inner tubes or on a custom made inflatable boat or raft.

The riding configuration depends on the specific product and the method of riding.

Description of Motion
Waterslide flumes are fixed in position and do not move. Propulsion is from gravity aided by water flow in the flume. Riders with or without vehicles will experience motion and accelerations consistent with the flume path. Movements include right and left turns, vertical curves, and deceleration at the finish. Riders or vehicles shall maintain constant contact with the flume ride surface.

Operational Restrictions Due to Weather
Wind - Waterslide structures are designed to withstand wind loads specified in the building code in force for the ride locations. WhiteWater recommends suspending operation during sustained winds in excess of 40 mph (64 kph).

Lightning - Virtually all waterslides use elevated towers as starting platforms.

Operation of rides should be suspended during any storm or weather conditions where lightning may occur.

Rain - Rain will have no effect on the operation of the slides, with one exception. All flumes rely on the cushioning and braking action of the specified water flow. Rain water can create a very slippery surface and without the braking action of the larger water flow can create an extremely hazardous condition. Under no circumstances should the slides be operated without the main water supply running at specified capacity. 177
March 13, 2017 Page 37 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Safe water flow
The water flow rate is important to the safe operation of the ride. Operators shall make sure that the water supply is adequate. Insufficient water volume can result in higher speed. The water tends to restrain and cushion motions and impacts as well as reduce speed.

Evacuation and Emergency Procedures
In an emergency situation affecting the slide:
1 Top attendants shall cease dispatch of all riders.
2 If water flow is impeding the remedy of the emergency situation, use E-stop to turn off power to the pump(s).
3 Riders in the slide shall continue down the slide and exit normally if possible. 4 Attendants shall ensure all riders have exited the slide either through the bottom or at egress locations.
5 Patrons may remain queued on tower and stairs if they are not affecting the emergency situation.
6 If necessary to evacuate the tower, patrons shall be guided by top attendant to exit via the stairs from the start tower or egress location.
7 Slide should remain closed until cause of emergency situation is investigated and resolved.
8 In case of serious injuries or problems, operator should notify manufacturer and other regulatory bodies as required by law.

2. The ASTM standard F 853 - XX Standard Practice for Maintenance Procedures for Amusement Rides and Devices.

The ASTM Standard F 853 for Amusement Rides and Devices is a broad-based standard covering all the various rides and attractions encountered in the amusement industry. Most of the requirements are directed at complex mechanical devices that are subject to wear. These devices may have critical connectors and linkages that must be inspected regularly to avoid catastrophic failure. Waterslides in general are quite simple. The following is WhiteWater’s requirement for inspection of waterslides to conform to ASTM. These are to be used in conjunction with WhiteWater’s Operation & Maintenance Manual.

Operational Tests of Critical Operating Items
Waterslides use water pumped into the starting area of the ride to operate. The water volume is important to safe operation of the ride. In general, the less water volume pumped, the faster the rider will travel. If during operation, the water supply is restricted or fails, operators shall suspend operations when water volume is below specified operating requirements. A basic operational test should be performed daily in accordance with the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual. 178
March 13, 2017 Page 38 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Inspection of the fiberglass and sliding surface must be made daily in accordance with the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual. Small chips or surface imperfections may cause injury to riders.

Recommended Maintenance/Inspection
The daily inspection of the slides is detailed in the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1, which covers the operational components of the slide. The only other items that should be inspected are the supporting structures for the slides and start platforms.

Inspection of supporting structures:
• Steel structures that are hot dipped galvanized will require visual inspections on a semiannual basis. Areas around field welds should be carefully checked and touched up with zinc rich paint as necessary. If rust streaking occurs, the source should be identified and attended to. If steel structures are ten years old or greater, a comprehensive professional inspection should be performed.
• Steel structures that are painted without galvanizing should be visually inspected on an annual basis. If steel structures are five years old or greater, a comprehensive professional inspection should be performed.
• Wood structures should be visually inspected annually for integrity, tightness of fasteners and general condition. If wood structures are over five years old, a comprehensive professional inspection should be performed.

Climactic and operation conditions vary greatly and will affect the interval times above.

In more corrosive environments such as seaside or some indoor installations, the interval times should be reduced.

Other routine checks completed annually:
• All concrete filled stairs and decks should be visually inspected for worn finishes on the nosing and cracked concrete. The underside of the metal decking should be checked for deterioration.
• All welds should be visually inspected for condition and all bolts should be snug. • Anchor bolts should be checked for tightness and corrosion. Grout around base plates should be in good condition.
• Inspection and maintenance of fiberglass should be performed as per the WhiteWater Operations & Maintenance Manual Part III.

Comprehensive professional inspections should be performed by a qualified engineering or inspection firm. They perform inspections with methods they deem appropriate to assure accurate review of the structure. These methods may include non-destructive testing using ultrasound or other techniques. Inspection would include condition of metal components, welds, bolts, and any other critical items. The inspecting agency should produce a certificate of inspection and/or a report on condition for review by a qualified engineer.
179
March 13, 2017 Page 39 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Fiberglass Wear Limits
The fiberglass should be inspected regularly as per the WhiteWater Operations & Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1. The riding surface of the flume is subject to wear and weathering. The exterior of the slide is subject to weathering. The fiberglass should be inspected professionally if five years old or older.

Other Wear Limits
Rides using boats will experience wear on the boats. If the wear is excessive it may impair the function of the boat and operation of the ride. This is especially true if the ride uses shutdown lanes. The wear should be checked in accordance with the boat manufacturer’s recommendations.

Replacement Fasteners
All replacement fasteners shall conform to the standards specified in the engineering drawings.

Electrical / Mechanical Systems Operation and Maintenance All electrical motors, pumps, controls etc. shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with their manufacturer's recommendations.

All pump intake grating or screens must be inspected to ensure that no structural flaw is evident.

Note: Whenever inspection or maintenance work is being done on electrical/mechanical systems, including pump intake grating, all related equipment must be electrically isolated using recognized equipment lock out procedures. 180

GENERAL OPERATING GUIDELINES
195
April 7, 2016 Page 5 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Part I GENERAL OPERATING GUIDELINES
Important Notice
The following operating procedures are presented to waterslide owners as guidelines only. They are not intended to be mandatory or exhaustive. These guidelines do not replace proper consultation with designers, manufacturers and legal counsel, and compliance with local, state (provincial) and federal laws and regulations involving, but not limited to: health, safety and building codes.

General Operating Considerations

1. Customers
While customers are the key ingredients to the success of any waterpark, certain rules and procedures must be made clear for the park to function efficiently and safely.

1.1 Posted Signs
A sign must be posted at the entrance to the waterpark that states user responsibility and conveys the following rules and regulations:
1 Read and obey all posted signs.
2 Obey all instructions given by the attendants and operators. 3 No glass, cigarettes and/or food are permitted in the water slide area. 4 Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted in the park. 5 Pregnant women and those with a history of heart problems or back trouble should not use the slides.
6 Failure to follow rules and instructions can lead to serious injuries. 7 Ride at your own risk.

Note: Specific sign requirements for each waterslide are detailed in Part II - Specific Operating Guidelines.

1.2 Access
Provisions must be made to prevent customers from entering the water slide at any points other than at the designated entry access points.

2. Attendants
Waterpark attendants are responsible for safe and orderly conduct of customers, safe entry and exit of riders from the slides, general crowd control and emergency procedures.

2.1 Top of Slides
The area at the top of every water slide must be supervised by at least one attendant who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner. • Ensuring that customers enter slides or rafts/mats properly. • Ensuring that customers are dispatched at safe intervals. • Visually surveying all areas of the water slide that are visible from attendant’s position, with the exception of the splash pool, and communicating any problems to the other attendants.
• Ensuring that customers meet the minimum and/or maximum restrictions for the slide.
• Ensuring that any vehicles used are in good condition and if inflated, inflated properly.

2.2 Splash Pool
The recommended depth for the splash pool is 3.5 feet (1.07 metres) except otherwise noted in special conditions and therefore must be supervised by at least 197
April 7, 2016 Page 7 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center one certified lifeguard who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner. • Ensuring that customers move into and out of splash pool in a quick and orderly manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on pool decks. • Ensuring pool water levels are correct.

2.3 Runout Lane
The runout lanes of waterslides must be supervised by at least one attendant who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner. • Ensuring that customers exit runout lane in a quick and orderly manner. • Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on slide apron. • Ensuring water levels are at level marks and flow transition is within indicator markings.

3. Inspections
Permanently bound log books should be kept to record all inspections, operational tests, water quality monitoring, all accidents and unusual occurrences. Log books should be kept for a period of at least six (6) years from the date of the last entry. Log book entries that cover the twelve (12) month period previous to the last entry in the log book should be kept readily available.

3.1 Slide Inspections
Daily inspections must be made to check for:
• obstructions in slide paths
198
April 7, 2016 Page 8 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center • cracks, chips or bubbles in sliding surfaces
• rough patchwork at joints or cracks
• caulking protruding from joined flanges
• leaking seals at joints
• loose risers on turns
• excessive movement of flumes when walked on
• joints opening up
• proper inflation and condition of rafts, tubes and vehicles • landing or pool bottom padding, if used, is in good condition and properly secured.

3.2 Mechanical Inspections
Daily inspections must be completed on each waterslide:
• before water is circulated to ensure no safety hazards exist • with the water circulating to ensure there is sufficient water flowing in the channel and correct water level is in splash pool or runout lane • to ensure that all the pumping and filtration equipment is operating correctly • to ensure that conveyor system is operating properly and poses no hazard It is the attendant's responsibility to ensure water flow is maintained in accordance with manufacturers’ guidelines. Serious hazards may develop when flow is interrupted in a flume.

Inspections should also be made during periods of heavy usage to ensure circulation and filtration systems are handling peak loads. The attendant must keep logs of all water testings performed. A typical form for water quality testing is shown in Appendix 1-I.

4.1 Incident Reporting
The owner or operator shall notify the manufacturer (Whitewater West Industries Ltd.) of any known serious incidents that require immediate hospital admission.

Minor injuries that may or may not require treatment shall be reported to the manufacturer if deemed to be related to the equipment design or function.

There may be local jurisdiction and laws requiring notification of incidents. The owner or operator may be required to notify these local jurisdictions in addition to the above.

4.2 Floatation Devices
The operator should not infer that rafts, tubes or any other floatation device, with exception of government approved life jackets, offer the user any safety benefit.

Where unapproved floatation devices are provided, signs should be posted stating they are for pleasure only and should not be used as a substitute for approved floatation devices.

4.3 Slips and Falls
Slips and falls are a constant concern in all areas of the waterpark. All surfaces intended for pedestrian traffic, whether in the water, on walkways, on loading platforms or on stairs should be made and maintained slip-resistant. Proper periodic maintenance of walking surfaces should be carried out to remove the growth of algae and fungi which could inhibit the surfaces intended function. Adequate drainage should be maintained around all areas of the slides.

The entry section to flumes should be given particular attention with respect to slips and falls. The combination of the flowing water and the customer contacting water on a slippery surface for the first time can be confusing and disorienting. The exit area of the splashdown pool will always be wet and flowing with water which requires special attention with respect to slip-resistant surfaces, drainage and number and location of attendants.

To minimize slip and fall type accidents, attendants throughout the waterpark should control running and horseplay.

4.4 Bodily Collisions
Bodily collisions occur in flumes and splash pools as a result of riders traveling at different speeds and riders slowing or stopping in the flume. Restricting traffic flow with proper dispatching intervals can minimize these bodily collisions. The top attendant and lower attendant must have a view of much of the slide and a means of communication between them. The entry attendant must be alert and aware that people will travel at different rates due to variations in body weight, body friction, and rider position. Generally, the heavier the person, the faster the rider will travel.

Slippery materials like nylon slide much faster than cotton clothing. All other factors being equal, riders in a sitting position will travel slower than a person lying flat on their back. Under no circumstances should customers be permitted to ride flumes in 200
April 7, 2016 Page 10 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center a standing position. Similarly, running or leaping entry into flumes is not to be permitted.

In addition to slide entry attendants, use of signal lights or electro-mechanical starting gates should be considered for rider entry control.

5. Emergency Procedures
Every park must have an emergency plan with specific procedures covering:
• crowd control
• park evacuation
• drowning
• heart attacks
• cuts and burns
• neck and spinal injuries
• power or other utility failures
• fires
• security (fights, robbery, vandalism)
• exposure to chlorine
• environmental conditions (e.g., lightning, windstorms, hail, earthquakes) An emergency plan should address those factors which affect, human safety, protection and correction of equipment, and customer relations. All employees should be trained and drilled periodically in the execution of the emergency plan. The emergency plan 201
April 7, 2016 Page 11 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center should be easily accessible and be located with first aid equipment and emergency telephone numbers.

Each facility should have a list of current emergency numbers posted by a telephone.

The list should include the contact information for the nearest available doctor, ambulance service, hospital, rescue service, police department, fire department and poison control center. A typical emergency telephone list is shown in Appendix 1-III.

April 7, 2016 Page 14 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

2. Attendants
Attendants should be alert to controlling crowd behavior, ensuring safe and orderly entry and exit and controlling the proper entry rate into the slide.

FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LAUNCH MECHANISM AND AQUADROP RIDE ARE CONTAINED IN OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL. OPERATORS MUST BE TRAINED AND FAMILIAR WITH THESE SECTIONS.

2.1Attendant / top - 1 attendant per slide
Duties:

1. Ensure the crowd behaves in a safe and orderly manner.

2. Ensure all riders meet requirements.

3. Ensure eyeglasses are securely affixed to the riders.

PART III

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
207
April 7, 2016 Page 17 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Part III MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR FRP FLUME
If properly maintained, your waterslide will give you years of service and keep sliding the way it was meant to - SAFE and FUN. By keeping the slide and its components properly maintained, you will be ensuring high performance and long life.

3. Joints
Slide joints play an important role in rider comfort and pleasure. Proper maintenance will keep the joints smooth and trouble free for years.

3.1Joint Caulking
All fiberglass sections will expand and contract with temperature changes.

Therefore, joints between sections are filled with a flexible, elastic caulking. Should the joints need re-caulking, all the old filler should be removed, the fiberglass should be cleaned and joints should be re-filled using a flexible polyurethane sealant. DO NOT use plastic filler that will harden. Under no circumstances should the joints be fiberglassed over. Excess joint caulking should be removed from the slide surface by scraping it off with a putty knife. Any remaining traces should be wiped off with lacquer thinner applied to a rag. Do not pour lacquer thinner directly onto a flume joint as it can dissolve the sealant.
208
April 7, 2016 Page 18 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

More serious cases may require power sanding that will cut through the gelcoat.

This will require a spray application of new gelcoat by a trained person, finished by sanding and polishing and waxing as outlined in Part III.

NOTE: For damage that penetrates completely through or deep into the laminate, we recommend that a qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.

4.3Cracks around Flanges
The area around the flanges of flumes contains a thick layer of gelcoat which is very stiff. Stresses from normal use may cause cracks in the gelcoat around the flanges.

These are not structural cracks. Flange cracks may be remedied by sanding the affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re-coating with gelcoat. Follow the patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4 through 6. 209
April 7, 2016 Page 19 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

4.4Repair Procedures
WARNING:

Store liquid catalysts in their original containers according to manufacturer's instructions.

4.4.2 Mixing Instructions
Mix only small amounts at one time. The mixtures will harden in twenty (20) minutes to 1 hour, depending on the temperature and the amount of catalyst added. The mixture will harden faster at higher temperatures and with increasing amounts of catalyst added. Use caution when adding catalyst, over catalyzing will result in the mixture cracking. Do not pour catalyzed mixtures back into the can. Do not reduce materials with a "conventional" paint or lacquer thinner. 210
April 7, 2016 Page 20 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Patching Compound: Add one (1) part catalyst to one hundred (100) parts patching compound on the mixing board. Mix well.

Gelcoat: Add one (1) part catalyst to one hundred (100) parts gelcoat in the mixing cup. Mix well.

NOTE: Sanding will remove the masking tape. Re-tape the area before painting.
7 Using a 2" fine paint brush, paint the area with gelcoat. Allow twenty (20) minutes to one (1) hour to dry.

NOTE: The paintbrush and tools can be cleaned with acetone. 8 After the gelcoat has dried, remove the masking tape. Using a sanding block, wet sand with 220 - 320 grit sandpaper. Repeat with 600 grit sandpaper. 9 Buff painted surface with auto cut polish and wash clean with water. 10 Wax and buff painted surface with a high quality paste wax. 211

PART IV

SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS
212
April 7, 2016 Page 22 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

PART IV SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS

1. The ASTM standard F 2376-XX Standard Practice for Classification, Design, Manufacture, Construction, and Operation of Water Slide Systems.

The riding configuration depends on the specific product and the method of riding.

Lightning - Virtually all waterslides use elevated towers as starting platforms.

Operation of rides should be suspended during any storm or weather conditions where lightning may occur.

Rain - Rain will have no effect on the operation of the slides, with one exception. All flumes rely on the cushioning and braking action of the specified water flow. Rain water can create a very slippery surface and without the braking action of the larger water flow can create an extremely hazardous condition. Under no circumstances should the slides be operated without the main water supply running at specified capacity. 213
April 7, 2016 Page 23 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Safe water flow
The water flow rate is important to the safe operation of the ride. Operators shall make sure that the water supply is adequate. Insufficient water volume can result in higher speed. The water tends to restrain and cushion motions and impacts as well as reduce speed.

2. The ASTM standard F 853 - XX Standard Practice for Maintenance Procedures for Amusement Rides and Devices.

Operational Tests of Critical Operating Items
Waterslides use water pumped into the starting area of the ride to operate. The water volume is important to safe operation of the ride. In general, the less water volume pumped, the faster the rider will travel. If during operation, the water supply is restricted or fails, operators shall suspend operations when water volume is below specified operating requirements. A basic operational test should be performed daily in accordance with the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual. 214
April 7, 2016 Page 24 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Inspection of the fiberglass and sliding surface must be made daily in accordance with the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual. Small chips or surface imperfections may cause injury to riders.

Climactic and operation conditions vary greatly and will affect the interval times above.

In more corrosive environments such as seaside or some indoor installations, the interval times should be reduced.

Comprehensive professional inspections should be performed by a qualified engineering or inspection firm. They perform inspections with methods they deem appropriate to assure accurate review of the structure. These methods may include non-destructive testing using ultrasound or other techniques. Inspection would include condition of metal components, welds, bolts, and any other critical items. The inspecting agency should produce a certificate of inspection and/or a report on condition for review by a qualified engineer.
215
April 7, 2016 Page 25 Project # 31548 – Emerald Glen Aquatic Center Fiberglass Wear Limits
The fiberglass should be inspected regularly as per the WhiteWater Operations & Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1. The riding surface of the flume is subject to wear and weathering. The exterior of the slide is subject to weathering. The fiberglass should be inspected professionally if five years old or older.

Replacement Fasteners
All replacement fasteners shall conform to the standards specified in the engineering drawings.

Electrical / Mechanical Systems Operation and Maintenance All electrical motors, pumps, controls etc. shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with their manufacturer's recommendations.

All pump intake grating or screens must be inspected to ensure that no structural flaw is evident.

Note: Whenever inspection or maintenance work is being done on electrical/mechanical systems, including pump intake grating, all related equipment must be electrically isolated using recognized equipment lock out procedures. 216

AND HAZARDS BEFORE LAUNCHING!

ENSURE ONLY ONE RIDER IS IN THE ENTRY
CAPSULE BEFORE LAUNCHING!

3.7. Launching Rider
The following section outlines the steps to safely launch a rider.

There are two ways to launch the rider; from the “RCC1” panel or from the multi-launch console (if applicable). The following sections will describe both launching procedures.

If the rider is ready, in the correct riding position, and the operator is ready to launch the rider, the operator presses and holds the two launch pushbuttons (same for multi-launch console), thus activating the timer for release of the trapdoor.

Upon pressing and holding the two launch pushbuttons an audible countdown will begin; “three, two, one”.

During the countdown, the operator should continue to observe the rider to ensure the rider maintains the proper launch position.
241
23 When the countdown reaches “one”, and the operator still has the two launch pushbuttons pressed, the trapdoor will open, thus launching the rider.

Procedure: Launching a Rider from the Ride Control Console (“RCC1” panel) Equipment: -
Materials: -
Frequency: As required
Procedure: 1) Make sure the override switch on the multi-launch console is in the OFF position. NOTE: It is defaulted OFF if there is no multi-launch console installed.
2) Verify that it is safe and appropriate to launch the guest in the manner typical to waterslide operations.
3) Simultaneously press and hold both pushbuttons “LAUNCH 1” and “LAUNCH 2” for 3.5 seconds. After 0.5 seconds, the
countdown message will play inside the capsule. Maintain visual contact with the
guest inside the launch capsule at all times to ensure they maintain an appropriate ride position. Should the guest fail to maintain the appropriate ride position, abort the launch by releasing either or both pushbuttons.
4) After the pushbuttons are continuously held for 3.5 seconds, the trapdoor will open, launching the guest into the slide. The pushbutton
labeled “ALARM LAMP/CLEAR BUTTON” will illuminate without flashing, indicating the slide is occupied.
5) When you are certain the guest has safely left the launch capsule, you may optionally press the pushbutton labeled “ALARM LAMP/CLEAR
BUTTON” to immediately close the trapdoor.
6) When the trapdoor is safely closed and locked upright, the entry door will immediately open. Pressing either button will interrupt this opening, and then the door can be closed and opened normally.
7) Another rider cannot be launched until the operator at the End-ofSlide has pushed the “CLEAR” button to indicate that the previous rider has
left the shutdown lane/bowl.

Procedure: Launching a Rider from the Multi-Launch Console (“OPM” Panel) Equipment: -
Materials: -
Frequency: As required
242
24 Procedure: 1) Turn the override switches which correspond to the rides you wish to control from the multi-launch console (“OPM” panel) on multi-launch console to the ON position. They will illuminate.

The pushbuttons “LAUNCH 1/DOOR OPEN” and “LAUNCH
2/DOOR CLOSE” will begin to flash slowly.
2) These two pushbuttons on the multi-launch console (“OPM” panel) now operate identically to the individual buttons on all overridden rides. The
pushbuttons on “OPM” panel will open and close all doors, and when held together for 3.5 seconds, launch all riders.
243
25 **The multi-launch console is an accessory and can be purchased and installed as part of the Entry Capsule package or separately.

At any time prior to launch the operator can open the entry door, reposition the rider, remove the rider, or load a new rider.

Once the rider has been launched, it is impossible to launch another rider until the slide has been cleared.

Once the slide is cleared, the entry door will open automatically to indicate that another rider can be loaded.

3.8. Aborting Launch
Both launch methods have a three second window to abort the launch. To abort the launch within this window, simply release one or both of the “LAUNCH” pushbuttons on either the operator console or multi-launch console. The audible countdown will continue but the rider will not be launched.

To resume a launch once the rider is in the correct position, the operator can press the two launch pushbuttons and the countdown will start again.

3.9. Emergency Stop
There are two “EMERGENCY STOP” pushbuttons located throughout the slide; one at the Entry Capsule (“RCC1” panel) and one at the shutdown lane/bowl (“OP_EOS” panel).

Press one of the “EMERGENCY STOP” pushbuttons any time the slide needs to be shut down in an emergency situation. This will disable all operations of the ride.

3.10. Power Failure
In the event of a power failure prior to launch, immediately stop operations. The AquaDrop is equipped with a battery backup unit, but it is of limited capacity, and should not be used to conduct regular operations. Unload the guest, close the door, remove the Operations Key from the “RCC1” panel, and wait for the power to return.

In the unlikely event that power is lost and the battery backup fails, a purely mechanical guest removal system is provided. Refer to the Maintenance Manual for instructions on how to manually open the entry door.

3.11. Occupied Slide/Clearing the Slide
Once the rider has been launched into the slide, the system will require verification that the rider has completed and safely exited the slide. The amber light on the operator 3) After safely dispatching the guests from the selected launch capsules, you may optionally press either “LAUNCH”
pushbutton to immediately reset the trapdoors and begin loading the next set of riders.
244
26 console will remain lit to indicate that the ride is occupied until the following events have been taken place:
245
27 1. The rider is launched from the capsule and the lifeguard at the tower has pressed the “CLEAR” pushbutton at the “RCC1” panel.

2. The lifeguard at the shutdown lane/bowl has pressed the “CLEAR” pushbutton to indicate that the rider has safely exited the slide.

Another rider cannot be launched into the slide until all of these conditions are met.

3.12. End-Of-SlideNormal Operations
The operator at the End-Of-Slide/Shutdown area is an active participant in safe ride operation. The following procedure will describe normal end-of-slide operations.

Procedure: End-Of-Slide Normal Operations
Equipment: -
Materials: -
Frequency: As required
Procedure: 1) Pay sufficient attention to operations at the slide entry capsule to know when a rider has entered the slide. If you detect a hazard at any time, press the Emergency Stop button.
2) In normal operation, the rider will successfully complete the slide, and enter the shutdown lane/bowl.
3) When the rider exits the shutdown lane/bowl, and the area is free from hazards, press the “EOS_CL” button on the “OP_EOS” panel. Only after this has been done will another launch be permitted by the control
system.

Once these actions have been completed the trapdoor will reset into the up (closed) position and the Entry Capsule door will open so that another rider can be loaded. 246
28 3.13. System Faults
If the system detects an error in operation it will go into system fault mode to avoid possible unsafe situations. The amber light on the operator console will flash to warn of a fault.

3.13.1. Clearing Faults
In the event that the control system detects a fault, the following procedure must be completed.

Refer to the Maintenance Manual for detailed instructions on troubleshooting fault codes.

Procedure: Clearing Faults
Equipment: -
Materials: -
Frequency: As required
Procedure: 1) Identify the problem which has caused the fault by referring to the “Error Code Legend” on the front of the “RCC1” panel. 2) Fix the problem which faulted the system. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact Maintenance personnel.
3) If fixing the problem required that the control system be powered off, restore system power, and complete the procedure
described under “Start Up”, otherwise:
4) Clear the end of slide area:
a. Inspect the shutdown lane/bowl and surrounding
areas for hazards.
b. If no hazards exist, press the “EOS_CL” button to
confirm the shutdown area is clear to begin operations. 5) Clear the entry area:
a. Inspect the entry area for hazards.
b. If no hazards exist, press the button on “RCC1” panel labeled “ALARM LAMP/CLEAR BUTTON” to confirm
the entry area is clear to begin operations.
6) If the control system detects no further faults, the display within the “RCC1” panel will flash “UE 00”, and operations can commence.
7) If the problem persists, contact Maintenance personnel. 247
29 DO NOT LEAVE THE OPERATIONS KEYS IN THEIR

RESPECTIVE PANELS OVERNIGHT AS THEY MAY
BECOME LOST OR STOLEN!

3.14. Daily End of Operation (System Shutdown)
At the end of daily operations, the slide must be shut down safely to ensure no unauthorized use of the slide. To accomplish this, the following procedure must be performed.

Procedure: Daily End of Operation (System Shutdown)
Equipment: -
Materials: -
Frequency: Daily
Procedure: 1) Fully close the entry door using the pushbutton “DOOR CLOSE”.

Ensure there are no riders, tools, or other hazards within the Entry Capsule.
2) For outdoor slides where strong winds are common, it’s recommended to use a strap or other means to secure the door closed overnight. This will help prevent any unnecessary damage to door assembly.
3) When the door is fully closed, remove the Operations Key from “RCC1” panel.
4) Store the Operations Key in a safe location as determined by park management.
5) Turn off all water supplied to the slide.

2.3.14. Pushrod Linkage
The pushrod linkage is responsible for converting the linear motion of the drop cylinder into the rotational motion of the roller bar assembly. When the drop cylinder is retracted, the roller bar rotates backwards towards the drop cylinder; releasing the trapdoor from its supports and dispatching a rider into the slide.

When the trapdoor swings back into the up and locked position, an internal spring within the drop cylinder provides a positive force to push the roller bar forward into the locked position.

Figure 15: Pushrod Linkage, Overview
Figure 16: Pushrod Linkage, Drop Cylinder Side
275
28 Figure 17: Pushrod Linkage, Roller Bar Side

2.3.14.1. Inspecting the Pushrod Linkage
During normal operating conditions, the roller bar should be firmly pressed against the pillow blocks due to the spring force from the drop cylinder. However, over time, the pushrod linkage may become worn, resulting in a loose connection between the drop cylinder and the roller bar. Too much play in this linkage may result in unreliable operation of the trapdoor. The following procedure will describe how to inspect the pushrod linkage.

Maintenance Procedure: Inspecting the Pushrod Linkage
Equipment: Imperial wrenches

The following graphics illustrate the relationship between the sensor range, the safety, and the reliability of the system.

If the drop cylinder sensor is placed too far forward on the cylinder (towards the piston rod) the ride will be UNRELIABLE but safe.

7. Tighten the two bolts that fasten the sensor
saddle to the pillow block.

8. Replace the trapdoor inside the ride as per
Section 2.3.3.

9. Close the trapdoor in the usual fashion. Ensure
the light on the roller bar proximity sensor is lit.

10. Perform the framing square test as per Section

4.4.7. 324
77 If the drop cylinder sensor is placed on the cylinder too far back (away from the piston rod) the ride will be UNSAFE, but reliable.

Obviously, proper adjustment is such that UNRELIABILITY is risked, rather than risking the ride becoming UNSAFE. This means that as the drop cylinder retracts or is compressed, the drop cylinder sensor must positively turn off (output 0V) prior to the trapdoor being unable to support a rider.

78 When the trapdoor is in the closed and locked position, both the drop cylinder sensor and the roller bar sensor should be lit. The following procedure will describe how to confirm that both the drop cylinder sensor and the roller bar sensor are in the proper positions.

Maintenance Procedure: Framing Square Test– Test to Determine Proper Positioning of Drop Cylinder Sensor and Roller Bar
Sensor
Equipment: Framing square
Sensor Allen key
Materials: -
Frequency: Weekly and every time sensors are serviced, adjusted or replaced
Procedure: 1. Start with the trapdoor up (closed) and the entry door open.

2. Remove the Operations Key from the “RCC1” panel
as per Section 4.2.1.

3. Turn off the air supply as per Section 3.1.4. Follow proper LOTO procedures.

4. Secure all personnel present against falling, in
accordance with local workplace safety regulation.

5. Secure a 22 kg (50 lb.) load to the tie off anchors on the top of the launch and have it rest on the trapdoor
for the duration of this test.

6. Duck down and observe the amber lights on the
drop cylinder sensor and the roller bar sensor.

Amber light “ON” means the switch is in the “closed”
state, outputting 24V.

7. Insert the short arm of a framing square between
the roller bar and the sliding surface.

8. Gently lever the long arm of the framing square
up in a slow and controlled fashion, being
careful not to move the roller bar so far that the
trapdoor drops/opens.

9. Continuously observe the amber lights on the
drop cylinder sensor and the roller bar sensor.

10. The amber lights on the drop cylinder sensor
and the roller bar sensor must go OFF and the
sensor output must be 0V while the trapdoor is
still firmly locked in the closed position while
under load.

11. Release the pressure on the framing square
and observe the roller bar. It must slip back into
the fully engaged position, and the amber lights
must go ON.

12. Repeat the test ten times. Ensure there is
generous margin after the lights go out and
before the trapdoor drops. The drop cylinder
should be able to retract approximately 3mm
(1/8”) after the sensor light goes OFF and the
trapdoor must still be firmly locked in the closed
position while under load.

5.2. Paddle Flow Switches
As part of the safety system, the AquaDrop is equipped with two flow switches to monitor the water flow. One of the flow switches is located behind the back panel of the AquaDrop on the water line which feeds the Entry Capsule, and another flow switch is located on the water line which feeds the injectors just below the capsule. 330
83 Figure 47: Paddle Flow Switch
These flow switches may become stuck in the on or off position due to debris in the lines, or they may fail completely. This section will describe how to inspect and replace the flow switches.

Maintenance Procedure: Inspection and Replacement of Flow Switches Equipment: Wrench and screw driver
Materials: -
Frequency: As required
Procedure: 1. Turn off the water.

2. If applicable, remove the back panel as per Section

87 7.2. Common Problems
The following list describes typical problems that may arise during operation of the slide and a list of potential solutions to each.

Problem Solution
Entry door won’t open • If you have a Multi-Launch console, check that override switch is turned
OFF.
• Check proximity sensors on rotary
actuator, drop cylinder, and roller bar.

These should all be lit when the door is
closed. If they’re not lit, then they may
need to be adjusted or replaced.
• Check that “JBDOOR” switch is in the
ON position.
• Check that the release pin is
connected to the linear actuator and
linkage assembly
No Sound • Check that the voice output element
is properly connected to the voice
output connection element.
• The voice output element may need to
be replaced.

Trapdoor does not drop for heavy riders • Check the rollers for corrosion. • Check the unit air pressure.
• Check flow control valve setting.
• Ensure there isn’t water in the air lines.

Trapdoor does not latch in place after
launching a rider
• Check unit air pressure.
• Ensure trapdoor clamps are engaged.
• Ensure there isn’t water in the air lines.
• Confirm solenoid valve for rotary
actuator is functional.

Cannot launch rider when door is closed and
slide is clear
• Check that the light on the safety
switch is green when the door is
closed. If not, adjust the position of
the switch and actuator until the light
turns from red to green.
• Switch or actuator may need to
be replaced.
• Faulty electrical connection.

Flow switches won’t go low after water is
shut off
• Check flow switches for debris.
• Check electrical connections for
moisture and debris.
• Flow switches may need to be replaced.
335
88 7.3. Fault Code “UE 00”
Fault code “UE 00” indicates that the system is ready for operation.

When the PLC displays “UE 00” and the entry door is closed, both “LAUNCH” pushbuttons should be lit green and it is safe to launch a rider.

If the PLC displays “UE 00” but the two “LAUNCH” pushbuttons are not lit green then the system thinks that the entry door is open and won’t permit a launch.

Solutions:
• If the entry door is not closed, then close it using the “DOOR CLOSE” pushbutton. • If the entry door is already closed, there may be a problem with the door sensor or one of the electrical connections.
o Check the alignment of the sensor and ensure that the light on the sensor is green when the door is closed. If the light is red instead of green then it may be too far from the safety switch actuator and the position may need to be adjusted. o The problem may also be due to a faulty sensor or connection between the sensor and the distribution box or other electrical connection.

7.4. Fault Code “UE 07”
Fault code “UE 07” indicates there is insufficient water flow at one or more of the flow switches. The safety system continuously monitors each flow switch to ensure sufficient water flow.

If the system detects insufficient water flow, a fault will be triggered and “UE 07” will be displayed on the PLC.

The slide cannot operate until the problem has been
resolved. Solutions:
• Check that all pumps are turned on.
• Confirm that the basket strainer is clean.
• Identify which flow switch is causing the problem.
o AquaDrop has two paddle style flow switches.
o Use I/O table and look at PLC to see which one is off. o Flow switch may have debris in it or may need to be replaced.

7.5. Fault Code “UE 11”
Fault code “UE 11” indicates that the system water needs to be cycled.

The safety system checks each flow switch every 24 hours to confirm that it has 336
89 changed state from ON to OFF. This check confirms that each flow switch is functioning properly. Without this check, if a flow
337
90 switch failed in the ON position then the system would think the water is ON even when the water is OFF. This is not safe!
Normal daily operations where water is turned on in the morning and turned off in the evening is sufficient to satisfy this requirement.

If the system detects that one or more flow switches have not changed state, then “UE 11” will be displayed on the PLC.

The slide cannot operate until the problem has been
resolved. Solutions:
• With all pumps ON, confirm that all flow switch inputs on the PLC are ON. Refer to the I/O table. • If any flow switches are not ON then they may need to be cleaned or replaced. • With all pumps OFF, confirm that all flow switch inputs on the PLC are OFF. Refer to I/O table. • If any flow switches are not OFF then they may need to be cleaned or replaced.

7.6. Fault Code “UE 22”
Fault code “UE 22” indicates a trapdoor sensor fault, or anytime the system detects an incomplete launch sequence.

The safety system monitors each of the three trapdoor sensors to ensure they change state during each launch cycle. Similar to the flow switch check, this check confirms that each sensor is functioning properly.

The slide cannot operate until the problem has been
resolved. Causes:
• Faulty sensor
• Faulty solenoid valve
• Loose or faulty electrical connection
Solutions:
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean, free of moisture (dielectric grease is fine), and snug. • All three sensor inputs on PLC should be ON when the trapdoor is up and locked. There are also lights on each sensor. If not, the sensor may be misaligned or may need to be replaced. Refer to I/O table.
• Prepare the trapdoor for maintenance. Manually push the roller bar back to retract the drop cylinder; both the roller barsensor and the drop cylinder sensor inputs should be OFF. The rotary actuator sensor input should also be OFF. If any are ON, then the sensor may be misaligned or may need to be replaced. Refer to I/O table.
• If you replace a sensor and find that the problem is still not fixed, it could be a problem with the multi-port distribution box that connects the sensor back the “RCC1” panel. 338
91 1
2 3
o Example: If the sensor input on the PLC in ON when the sensor is unplugged from the distribution box, then there is likely a short circuit in the distribution box or cable. • If all three sensors are functioning correctly but you are still getting “UE 22” then it may be a faulty solenoid valve. Observe the lights on each solenoid to confirm that they are turning ON during a launch sequence. If not, there may be a faulty electrical connection or the valve may need to be replaced.

7.7. Fault Code “UE 23”
Fault code “UE 23” indicates a V_DROP1 solenoid valve fault, or a pressure sensor fault.

Two solenoid valves in series are used to actuate the drop cylinder; V_DROP1 (1) and V_DROP2 (2).

As part of the safety system, a pressure sensor (3) is located between the two valves to detect a valve failure.

V_DROP1 is energized first and then V_DROP2 is energized a 300ms later If the pressure sensor detects pressure at any time other than during the launch sequence, “UE 23” fault will be triggered because either V_DROP1 valve has failed in the OPEN position, or the pressure sensor has failed in the ON position.

Solutions:
• With the air supply OFF, if the pressure sensor input on the PLC is lit then the pressure sensor has failed. Refer to I/O table.
• If the pressure sensor input is not lit on the PLC when the air supply is OFF, but is lit when the air supply is ON, then the valve has failed in the OPEN position and will need to be replaced. Refer to I/O table.

7.8. Fault Code “UE 32”
Fault code “UE 32” indicates a V_DROP2 solenoid valve fault.

Two solenoid valves in series are used to actuate the drop cylinder; V_DROP1 (1) and V_DROP2 339
92 (2).
340
93 1
2 3
As part of the safety system, a pressure sensor (3) is located between the two valves to detect a valve failure.

V_DROP1 is energized first and then V_DROP2 is energized a 300ms later If the system detects movement of the trapdoor prior to V_DROP2 being energized, then V_DROP2 has failed OPEN and “UE 32” fault will be triggered.

Solutions:
• Replace V_DROP2 valve

7.9. Fault Code “UE 33”
Fault code “UE 33” indicates that the slide needs to be “cleared” before the system can operate.

The safety system requires manual checks and acknowledgment that the slide is clear of riders or other hazards before allowing operation. Refer to the Operations Manual for instructions on how to “Clear” the slide.

If after following the slide clearing sequence the slide will not operate, there is likely a problem with one of electrical devices.

Solutions:
• Referring to the I/O table, confirm that the inputs for the “CLEAR” button at the “RCC1” panel change state when pressed.
• Referring to the I/O table, confirm that the inputs for the “CLEAR” button at the end ofslide panel change state when pressed.
• If any of those devices don’t change state as they should, then there may be an electrical issue such as a loose wire, damaged cable, or water ingress. Contact electrician to resolve. 341
94 7.10.Fault Code “UE 53”
Fault code “UE 53” indicates that one of the “ESTOP” buttons is pressed.

The “ESTOP” buttons are Emergency Stop buttons that prevent the slide from operating in the event of an emergency.

Solutions:
• Release affected “ESTOP” button(s) and perform slide clearing procedure. • There may be an electrical issue with one of the devices; such as a loose wire, damaged cable, or water ingress. Contact electrician to resolve.

7.11.Fault Code “UE 88”
Fault code “UE 88” indicates that a rider is currently within the slide.

The safety system will not allow another rider to be launched until the slide is clear.

If after following the slide clearing sequence the slide will not operate, there is likely a problem with one of electrical devices.

Solutions:
• Check electrical devices/connection for loose wires, damaged cables, or water ingress. Contact electrician to resolve.
