brackets can be opened manually.
4.3.4.2 Serious mechanical defect on the PCU (e.g., blocked pulley or brake sword)
The component which is causing the blockage must be removed. Here, you can try to raise the car using
the Catcher. If this is impossible, the people must be lowered by height recovery. For attaching the ropes
corresponding eyelets are provided on the tower.
4.3.5 Major Accidents

In the extremely unlikely case of a major accident:
FOLLOW ALL INTERNAL EMERGENCY POLICY AND PROCEDURES.
4.4 RIDER WALK THROUGH

All riders will go through the following procedures. Deviation from these steps can leave your operation
vulnerable. Remember, prior to processing your first rider, all daily inspection checkpoints must be
completed.
Step1.Rider arrives at site and is met by the Ride Operator. Answer all questions with the utmost
confidence as these people are seeking your assurance for their well-being. This should not be taken
lightly.
Step2.Rider(s) arrive at the loading area and are greeted. Here they are briefed on the riding techniques
and protocol. Guests are let into the ride area, choose a seat, and close it.
Step3.At this point the Certified Operator gives the riders a thorough check, checking the seat bracket by
pulling on them and making sure that the passenger has no loose items that could fall during the ride. Also
check that the person fits properly into the seat.
Limitation: Large people: Be careful when seeing if large guests fit into the seats. Check that they fit
within the contours of the seat and the bracket fits properly. If this is not so - Do not let this person
ride.
Limitation: Small People: The minimum height for persons able to fit into the Freefall seats is
125cm. The main point is to make sure that you do not believe the passenger can in any way slide out
of the seat. Make sure the seat brackets are properly latched. If you feel that the guest cannot safely
ride the attraction Do not let this person ride.

q) Don’t take prescription or over the counter medication without knowing its effects on
you.
r) Don’t consume alcohol or controlled substances while working.
4.7.1 Attitude
SAFETY and ATTITUDE are two very important words in every walk of life - they are critical words in the
ride industry. The public visits an amusement ride to be entertained - their primary concern is to have
fun. As a ride operator you are in control of the machine that the public has come to enjoy. They look
to you to maintain a watchful and safe attitude while they are in your care. Yours is a major responsibility.
There are many jobs in other industries where you might hear it said, “my job or my attitude doesn’t
really matter”. You will never hear that said of a ride operator - your job and your attitude may well
matter the most.
4.7.2 Alcohol or Drugs

When you operate a ride you have the well-being of the riders in your hands. The use of alcohol or drugs
in such situations shall be grounds for immediate dismissal.
It is not only controlled substances that slow your reflexes and impair your ability to react - medication
prescribed by your doctor can have a similar effect. If you are taking medication, tell your doctor the
critical nature of your job, and he will advise you of any necessary precautions.
Don’t jeopardize your safety and that of others when you are less than your best.
4.7.3 Fatigue
Operating a ride is hard work; it is tiring and requires skill and attention. A person must be in good
physical and emotional condition to be a good operator.
Everyone knows that a person is unfit to operate a ride when he or she has been drinking, but fatigue
can be just as dangerous.
Boredom can be viewed as a form of fatigue. The mind is tired or dull and no longer alert. You can combat
fatigue and boredom by taking your scheduled breaks, walking around or by changing your routine.
It is essential that you are 100% focused on what you are doing while operating or assisting in
ride operations.
4.7.4 Slips and Falls

Although not as highly publicized as a mechanical failure, the most frequent accident on an
amusement ride is a slip, trip or fall.
Constantly check the areas on and around your ride for objects or liquids that could cause a slip and
fall by a guest or fellow employees.
Watch your step and make sure that the ride enclosure and all rider access areas are free of any debris,
liquids or any other obstructions.
4.7.5 Housekeeping
A messy ride area is a hazard for both employees and the public. Constantly check the ride for loose
or fallen objects, for spillage or obstructions. Safe housekeeping is a constant activity that goes on
throughout the day: it is not a job left for the night time cleanup crew.
Remember that if we have done our job by setting up a clean, exciting and well-lit ride, the public is
only looking at the ride; they are not looking out for hazards or debris where they walk.
Also, remember, patrons may believe that if the operating area is messy and unkempt it could reflect
that the equipment and maintenance is also messy and unkempt.
4.8 EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Ride operators will go through the corporate mandated training and certification program including proper
documentation. These will be made available to Funtime Handels GmbH upon request.

6 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

6.1 DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECKPOINTS AND PROCEDURES
Prior to each day’s activities, a thorough equipment check must be completed using the supplied
checklist (Appendix A). It also should be noted that this procedure must be given utmost attention in
order to minimize the possibility of an adverse outcome.
We allow for inspection frequency to be based upon time or cycle number. These break down as
follows:
• Daily or 250 cycles
• Weekly or 1,500 cycles
• Monthly or 6,000 cycles
• Annually (all annual checks must be performed each year, even if the cycle count is
less than 72,000)
6.1.1 Site Inspection

2. Load/Unload: Check and make sure all appropriate supplies are available for Certified
Operator.
3. Fencing: All in place and will deter spectators from entering into the defined area.
4. Safety, Prohibitory and Restrictive signs
6.1.2 Helpful Tips for a Thorough Inspection

Note the difference between mentally checking something and physically checking something. In
activities such as inspections, the individual can become complacent in the methods they are using. It is
imperative that we are able to break this cycle by concentrating on what it is that we are inspecting.
Therefore, confirm all check procedures one at a time. Do not rush through these procedures. Make
sure you are not pre-occupied. Finally, do not put your signature on the Daily Inspection Log unless you
are certain that you have completed the inspection with your full attention and that all items have been
checked and the equipment is in safe operating condition. If you feel that you are not fully competent
with this task consult your superior immediately!
6.2 CHECKLIST
7 TROUBLESHOOT
7.1 RIDE REACTIONS
Depending on the fault category there are three different stop sequences.
• E-Stop (1): cuts immediately the power to the elevator and the carousel and is closing the safety
brake and the motor brake.
• Zone-Stop(2):stops the motion of the causing device through a controlled stop
• Warning(3): with a warning pending the ride cycle will finish, but will not allow to start a new
cycle
