5 General Safety Guidelines

Important Notifications:
The following is a list of general safety guidelines to be incorporated into your facility’s overall SOPs. These
guidelines are for the safety of the riding public as well as for the operators of the equipment.
5.1 Standards Compliance:

• The water ride and equipment provided by ProSlide® is designed in accordance with ASTM F2376.
• The Owner/Operator has an obligation to comply with local standards, such as ASTM, and needs
to be knowledgeable about the content. For example, the Owner/Operator has a duty to report an
incident that has resulted in an injury as defined in ASTM F770-18, Section 10.3 within seven (7)
days of the occurrence of the incident.
5.2 Responsibilities:
• Water Ride Owner/Operator’s Roles & Responsibilities for Ensuring Consistent & Safe Ride
Performance are summarized in Section 7.
• This ProSlide® water ride is participatory in nature; the riders use the equipment according to
specific instructions, and the instructions and the riders' actions directly control the quality and
safety of the experience. Before using the water ride, riders must receive proper instructions and
warnings (through signage, spoken word, repeaters, or other means), including but not limited to:
o Safety signage displayed prominently so it is visible to all riders.
o Inform riders and their supervising companion that the riders themselves are responsible
for reading all health and safety requirements for the ride, knowing their own or
accompanying riderrun’ physical conditions and limitations, and participating responsibly.
o Inform riders of the rules of the water ride.
o Inform riders of what to expect at the start, end, and throughout the course of the water
ride, and that they may encounter strong acceleration and deceleration forces from all
sides.
• Although the water ride was designed with safety as the utmost consideration, riding such an
attraction carries inherent risks. It is the sole responsibility of the Owner/Operator to inform riders
of the risks and to mitigate and minimize such risks through appropriate operational procedures
and strict adherence to the rules set forth in this Operations Manual. Updates to the
Owner/Operator’s SOPs and park signage should be made accordingly.
• Ride Attendants are to be alert to the possibility for potential problems relating to the rider’s reaction
to the water ride experience. Start of Ride Attendants should be sensitive to a rider’s apprehension
upon their entry into the start position of a particular ride. All riders should be given the opportunity
to leave the start position especially if they are being unduly coerced by others.
• While the water ride is in operation, ride attendants must always be present at their required
positions. Ride attendants must be trained and qualified in water safety and performance
procedures and on how to properly operate this water ride. See Section 7 for ride attendant
stationing and responsibilities.
5.3 Water Flows & Depths
• Operational parameters of this water ride are subject to confirmation or change at the time of water
ride verification testing. Due to the nature of this water ride, the correct water depth and water flow
settings are critical. The correct flow settings must be achieved and maintained. The Start of Ride
Attendant must visually confirm adequate water levels prior to each dispatch. When water does not
pool in the start section, Start of Ride Attendants must visually confirm water flow to the start
Page 5
section. End of Ride Attendants must continuously monitor water levels in the End of Ride Area.
See Section 8.5 for water level and flow requirements.
• ProSlide® provides water flow minimum requirements in the Mechanical Electrical Package. The
water flow in each water ride has an effect on the performance of the sliding surface. ProSlide®
shall, in conjunction with the Owner/Operator and its representatives, determine the flow rate and
shall set a fixed range (Min/Max) of acceptability for each installation at the time ProSlide® conducts
its Site Acceptance Testing and water ride verification testing. This information shall be
communicated to the Owner/Operator as part of the Water Ride Verification Summary deliverable.
• It is the Owner/Operator's responsibility to operate their water ride in accordance with all local
guidelines and standards including but not limited to ASTM-F2376 (or other similar guidelines
and/or standards in the jurisdiction where the water ride is installed). The Owner/Operator shall
adhere and maintain the recommended water flow range by performing daily monitoring,
measurement and confirmation of such. It is for this reason that flow meters and corresponding
valves, as well as water depths, at key locations are mandatory. It is essential that the
Owner/Operator’s mechanical contractor of record is apprised of this requirement for the inclusion
of flow meter(s) and corresponding valves.
• Final water ride settings are captured in the Water Ride Verification Summary which is to be read
in conjunction with this Operations Manual.
5.4 Ride Position and Vehicle Loading
• ProSlide® provides rider and/or ride vehicle weight restrictions in this Operations Manual. The
weight of the rider and/or the combined weight of the riders in a ride vehicle has an effect on the
performance of the water ride.
5.5 Environmental Limitations
• The water ride should not be operated in extreme weather conditions as listed in this Operations
Manual. It is the Owner/Operator’s responsibility to identify a proper means for detecting extreme
weather conditions and evacuating the ride if extreme weather conditions are detected.

6 Theory of Water Ride Operations

ProSlide® has provided this list of operating procedures to be incorporated into your facility’s overall SOP.
These procedures are for proper water ride performance and for the safety of the riding public as well as
for the operators of the equipment.
For the KIDZ Tubing water ride(s), there must always be a minimum of the following qualified attendants at
each of the following locations while the water ride is in operation:
Position Minimum Requirement Role
Start of Ride One attendant Start of Ride Attendant
End of Ride One attendant End of Ride Attendant
The basis for the Theory of Operations of this water ride is described below:
1. All pre-opening inspections and tests must be completed before the ride is opened for operation.
2. All attendants and/or lifeguards are in place.
3. Riders will queue from the base of the ride to the top of the ride and will be instructed by the Start
of Ride Attendant to wait at the top of the ride in a designated location until such time as they are
directed to the appropriate start pool.
4. The Start of Ride Attendant will obtain a vehicle and place it into the start pool. The Start of Ride
Attendant will confirm the correct ride vehicle is being used, and that the ride vehicle is in good
condition and properly inflated. (Refer to the approved vehicle specifications in Appendix B).
5. The Start of Ride Attendant should be attentive to the condition of the ride vehicle and its suitability
to be used on the ride. Under or over inflated ride vehicles should be corrected prior to allowing
riders to ride. The ride vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for use and maintenance should
be strictly adhered to.
6. The Start of Ride Attendant will confirm:
a. The individual rider heights are in compliance with the requirements stated in this manual;
b. The individual and combined rider weights are in compliance with the requirements stated
in this manual;
c. Ride water flows and levels are within the correct limits
7. The Start of Ride Attendant will then motion to the riders to proceed to the start of ride section and
provide the proper instructions on loading the ride vehicle and the proper riding position; riders are
to step beside the ride vehicle, sit into the ride vehicle and swing their legs toward the center of the
ride vehicle while firmly grasping the handles. (Refer to the Rider Position & Water Ride Vehicle
Loading Pictogram(s) in Appendix C).
8. The Start of Ride Attendant is to inform each rider on what the riders will experience at the start,
end, and throughout the ride, and that they may encounter strong acceleration and deceleration
forces from all sides. The Start of Ride Attendant must ensure that riders are in the proper riding
position prior to each dispatch.
9. Riders must be instructed to remain in their ride vehicles at all times, while continuing to hold the
riding position and firmly grasping the handles until they have exited the KIDZ Tubing water ride
and have decelerated safely into the end of ride area.
Page 7
10. The Start of Ride Attendant must properly dispatch the riders so as to prevent collisions. The
number of riders riding and the ride vehicle being ridden must be considered. While ride vehicles
lend consistency to the speed of the water ride, weight remains a factor. Heavier rider loads should
be given slightly more interval time when following light riders. Refer to the Water Ride Verification
Summary Report for ProSlide's suggested dispatch interval for the water ride. The attendant must
confirm that the water ride is clear before ride vehicle dispatch. This can be accomplished through:
a. Line of Site with end of ride area and End of Ride Attendant
b. Red Light/Green Light System
c. Closed Circuit TV (CCTV)
d. Internal means of communication (two-way radio, intercom, etc.)
11. Once dispatch is acceptable, the Start of Ride Attendant releases the ride vehicle from the start
pool. The Start of Ride Attendant is responsible for ensuring the vehicle properly dispatches into
the ride and does not get stuck as it transitions into the ride.
12. Upon entering the end of ride area, the End of Ride Attendant will assist the riders in exiting the
ride vehicle and direct them out of the area.
13. The End of Ride Attendant will feed the ride vehicle into the feeder conveyor (if applicable) and
provide the clear sign to the Start of Ride Attendant who will dispatch the next rider vehicle.

7 Water Ride Owner/Operator Roles & Responsibilities for Consistent & Safe Ride
Performance.
WARNING: FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE OPERATING PROCEDURES OF

THE RIDE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
7.1 Owner/Operator
The Owner / Operator is responsible to operate and maintain the water ride in accordance with the SOP
that incorporate the content of this Operations Manual to ensure consistent and safe ride performance. This
includes, but is not limited to, ensuring the staff that operate and maintain the ride are sufficiently trained
and are fulfilling their responsibilities, and informing guests of their responsibilities as riders.
Please note: it is important that the water ride Owner/Operator use their knowledge, experience,
(referencing applicable standards, regulations, codes, guidelines and laws) and any information provided
by aquatic consultants to establish a complete water ride usage and signage guideline including, but not
limited to, the following:
• Safety and Performance information

• General water ride information & rules
• Description of the water ride & water ride experience
• Instructions for riders including;
o Proper riding position
o Rider responsibilities
o Dispatch & exiting procedures
o Water depth at end of ride area
• Rider requirements including;
o Rider health requirements and warnings

Recently built water rides using vehicles may experience a variable ride vehicle velocity during the initial
period of use. This equates to the experience of a “run-in” period of several weeks. During the “run-in”
period, be alert for ride vehicles that may stop short in the end of ride area. Ensure rider safety by adjusting
dispatch intervals to compensate for this ride vehicle reaction. Throughout the “run-in” period the water ride
may become progressively faster and ultimately achieve its designed performance level. This may be
achieved during the Ride Verification period.
Many installations incorporate a ProSlide® water ride with other equipment and/or facilities not provided by
ProSlide. In installations such as this it is incumbent on the owner to provide proper instructions/warnings
for the use and operation of this equipment/facility to both riders and employees.
The Owner/Operator is to identify a proper means for detecting extreme weather conditions, such as,
monitoring their local weather reports or forecasts. Refer to Section 9 for extreme weather conditions not
suitable for operation.

This water ride has water flow and water level requirements that must be adhered to in order to help ensure
ride performance and rider safety. ProSlide® provides water flow minimum requirements in the MEP, which
is confirmed or adjusted in the Water Ride Verification Summary. The water flow in each water ride has an
effect on the performance of the sliding surface. ProSlide shall, in conjunction with the Owner/ Operator
and its representatives, determine the flow rate and shall set a fixed range (Min/Max) of acceptability for
each installation at the time ProSlide conducts its water ride verification testing. This information shall be
communicated to the Owner/Operator as part of the Water Ride Verification Summary deliverable.
Refer to the Water Ride Verification Summary for the operating flows and levels for this water ride. Under
no circumstances should the water ride be operated outside of the limits specified in the Water Ride
Verification Summary. If there is inconsistency between the Water Ride Verification Summary and the MEP,
the Water Ride Verification Summary shall prevail.
Water flows are to be monitored throughout operation by use of a flow meter on all water supply points to
the water ride identified on the MEP. For this water ride, this includes:
• Start Pool
Water levels are to be monitored throughout operation by use of a water level marker in the start pool and
end of ride area. Water levels markers are installed by ProSlide at the time of water ride verification testing.
An example of the water level marker is shown in Figure 1 below.

Page 15
9 Evacuation Procedures
9.1 Emergency Shutdowns due to Mechanical Failure
If the water flows and/or water levels are not within the correct limits as identified in the Water Ride
Verification Summary Report, for reasons such as a power loss to the pumping system for the water or a
pump failure, the procedures below should be followed:
a. Discontinue the dispatch of riders into the water ride at once
b. Have all riders, in the start pools ready to depart, disembark from their ride vehicles
and exit the start pool
c. Remove any tubes from the start pool immediately
d. Riders that are in the water ride should have enough water to continue down the flume
and enter the landing area. Check the water ride for any riders who remain in the flume.
e. All riders in the end of ride area should be instructed to exit
f. No rider shall be allowed to enter the start pool or water ride until the appropriate start
up procedure has been completed
9.2 Extreme Weather Conditions and Emergency Shutdowns
This water ride should not be operated in extreme weather conditions such as:
• Lightning
• Heavy rain - greater than 0.3 in/hour (8.0mm/hour)
• Excessive snow accumulation
• Remove excessive snow accumulation – see Section 12
• Winds exceeding 35 mph / (55km/h)
• Fog (where ride visibility is affected)
The above conditions apply to water slides that are fully or partially outdoors, this includes water slides that
transition from indoor to outdoor. The only water slides excluded from these conditions are those that are
fully indoors as they are sheltered from the outside weather conditions.
9.3 Rider Recovery Procedures
In the event of an emergency shutdown of the ride attraction, power outage, an unexpected operational or
maintenance issue, inappropriate rider behavior, or some other unforeseen factor, the possibility exists that
a rider, or riders, and their vehicle may not exit the main water ride flume or feature, thereby preventing
them from continuing to the landing area at the end of the ride. In such circumstances it may be necessary
to recover the rider(s) from the water ride. Therefore, in anticipation of this eventuality it is imperative that
your overall water ride SOP includes effective and efficient rider recovery procedures to ensure the safety
of both the guests and the attending personnel.
ProSlide offers the following general recommendations and comments related to rider recovery to be
incorporated into your SOP for this water ride attraction:
1. Familiarize yourself with the procedures for an Emergency Shutdown outlined in Section 9.1.
2. In developing your SOPs, consider your prior experience, and adhere to all local regulations,
guidelines, standards, and best practices regarding emergency response, lifesaving, and rescue
techniques.
3. Identify the staffing positions and individuals responsible for putting these recovery procedures in
place and ensure that those individuals receive periodic training (at least annually) in your
recovery procedures.
Page 16
4. Ensure water ride attendants have access to, and adequate training in, effective means of
communication to respond to situations where rider recovery is required, (refer to Section 6).
This includes procedures and methods of communicating with the riders in need of recovery.
Other examples include how to instruct all water ride and water park patrons to wait patiently,
methods to safely evacuate the water ride structure, including the tower and stairs, to a waiting
area, etc.
5. Assess your site-specific conditions from the perspective of the emergency responder needs. For
example, consider all access points to the water ride attraction such as hatches, entry from above
the flume or feature, access from the start of ride area down through the flume, access from the
end of ride landing area up the flume, anchor points for tie-off etc. Incorporate these considerations
into your assessment and recovery procedures.
10 Pre-Opening Inspection Procedures
1. Prior to operating each day, every individual flume should be inspected by qualified personnel.
This inspection should be performed just prior to turning on the water ride’s water supply. Refer
to the Water Ride Maintenance Manual MA-10059 for inspection checklist.
a. Visually check the flume for damage or any foreign matter that may be present within
the flume trough.
b. Visually examine all surfaces that a rider could make contact with for chips, cracks, or
any other condition, that could injure a rider.
c. Visually examine the joints of the flume; look for caulk deterioration, excessive gaping,
or alignment problems.
d. Report any problems to the proper authority and do not use the deficient flume until
the problem(s) have been corrected.
2. Upon completion of the flume inspection, a visual inspection of the water ride tower and its
deck, walkways, and handrails, should be performed:
a. Visually check for defective steps, deck surfaces, and handrails.
b. Visually check all surfaces a rider could make contact with for splinters, chipped paint,
or any other condition, that is a potential hazard.
c. Bring problem areas to the attention of the proper authority. The deficient facility should
remain closed until the appropriate repairs have been completed.
3. A general visual inspection of the outer portion of the water ride system for any noticeable
damage or deficiency should be performed by Water Ride Maintenance personnel, as defined
in the Water Ride Maintenance Manual (MA-10059).
4. Once all checks are completed, turn on the water to the water ride.
5. Following the flume inspection, the pumps should be turned on and water allowed to flow down
all water rides which are going to be used. The correct flow rate and water levels must be
achieved and maintained prior to allowing anyone to enter the start position.
6. It is recommended that the initial riders be a Lifeguard or Water Ride Attendant. This will act
as a final check that the water ride is ready to be ridden by the general public.
7. All communication, lifesaving, and emergency, equipment should be checked to ensure it is
present and in working order.
8. All Lifeguards and Water Ride Attendants must be in position prior to allowing the general
public to ride.
Page 17
11 Closing Procedures
1. The Ride Attendants should remain in position until released from duty by the proper authority.
2. Start of Ride Attendants may descend from the water ride tower after the last rider has exited.
3. The Start of Ride Attendant should remain at the bottom of the tower to prevent rider access until
all riders have left the area.
4. The End of Ride Attendants must verify that all riders have ridden and no one else will be riding.
5. The End of Ride Attendant must remain stationed at the end of ride area and continue to maintain
control over the area to prevent unauthorized entry into end of ride area, until released from duty
by the proper authority.
12 Special Winterization Procedures
Removing excessive snow accumulation or accumulation from snow drifts is required. ProSlide
recommends, when required, a local building authority and/or a qualified design professional familiar with
the snow conditions in the region be consulted to assess the level of snow accumulation based on the
designed snow loads.
This water ride has winterization requirements. Refer to the winter maintenance checklist in the Water Ride

5 Water Ride Owner/Operator Roles & Responsibilities for Maintenance & Safe Ride
Performance.
WARNING: FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE RIDE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
5.1 Owner/Operator
The Owner / Operator is responsible to operate and maintain the water ride in accordance with their
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to ensure consistent and safe ride performance. This includes, but
is not limited to, ensuring the staff that operate and maintain the ride are trained and are fulfilling their
responsibilities. Training shall not be limited to the recommended inspection and preventative maintenance
activities and frequencies for ProSlide water ride(s), but must also include identification of hazards
associated with the maintenance and inspection activities, including but not limited to; working at heights
procedures, education on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
training,
Please note: It is important that the water ride Owner/Operator use their knowledge, experience, and any
information provided by aquatic consultants to establish a complete water ride maintenance program.
Failure to follow and maintain documented records of the inspection and preventative maintenance
activities and frequencies outlined in this Water Ride Maintenance Manual will void the warranty of the
ProSlide water ride(s).
5.1.1 Water Quality

The Owner / Operator is responsible to ensure the quality of water used on the ride meets applicable
standards, regulations, codes, guidelines, and laws. Inadequate water quality may stain the surface of the
water ride and may affect the ride performance and appearance. Additionally, water quality may affect the
pumps, piping, water filtration system, the air quality in the ride and water park, and corrosion of structural
components of the water ride.
The most commonly used indicator to prevent scale and corrosion is the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI).
This index accounts for pH, calcium hardness, alkalinity, temperature and total dissolved solids (TDS) to
determine the tendency of the water to form scale or corrode. Values above 0 indicate a tendency to scale
and values below 0 indicate a tendency to corrode. According to section A7.5 of the ANSI/APSP-11 2009
standard, this index should be maintained between -0.3 and +0.5 to avoid scaling and corrosion issues.
In addition to maintaining correct LSI levels, high chlorine levels must be avoided. Section 5.7.3.1.1.5 of
the 2018 Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) defines an upper limit of 10ppm (mg/L) of free available
chlorine (FAC) anytime an aquatic venue is open for bathers. Anything above that will result in bleaching
of the gelcoat surface. For this reason, it is critical that the water supply to the ride be shut-off before any
pool shock treatments.
Please note: Water ride’s that operate with water quality levels outside ProSlide’s recommended water
quality levels will void the warranty of the ProSlide water ride(s). This includes:
• Water quality outside the ranges defined in ANSI/APSP-11 2009 standard (section A7.5)
• Visible debris (e.g. sand, rocks, stones, gravel etc.) in the water or on the ride surface
• Free available chlorine (FAC) levels above the maximum defined in the 2018 MAHC
Page 5
Water quality measurements (including the LSI and FAC levels) must be recorded at minimum on a
monthly basis by qualified personnel in accordance with local regulations. Measurements are also
required after any pool shock treatments to confirm the water quality levels are within the correct limits
before returning the ride to operation. These water quality records (monthly and after shock treatments)
must be documented and maintained. They may be requested by ProSlide for any warranty claims to be
considered.
5.2 Water Ride Maintenance Team

The Water Ride maintenance team is responsible for all water ride inspections and preventative
maintenance activities and frequencies outlined in this Water Ride Maintenance Manual, including but not
limited to:
• Daily Pre-Opening Inspections – Summarized in Section 7

• Ensuring the satisfactory completion of all pre-opening inspections and tests are completed
before the ride is opened for operation
• Monitoring water flows and water levels continuously throughout operations to ensure they are
within the correct limits – Refer to the Ride Operations Manual for critical locations that require

6 Ride Vehicle Maintenance

Ride vehicles play an integral part within this water ride. To maintain ride performance it is important that
ride vehicles are inspected and maintained.
6.1 Vehicle Storage

Vehicle storage effects the overall lifecycle of ride vehicles. It is important to store ride vehicles using the
general recommendations below:
• Do not store vehicles in a location with prolonged periods of direct sunlight

• Do not store vehicles in a location with direct exposure to prolonged rain or humidity. Keep
storage area ventilated and dry.
• Monitor storage area for pests that could damage the vehicles
• Do not store vehicles in a location with direct exposure to high temperatures
• Do not store vehicles in a location with direct exposure to cold temperatures
• Do not store vehicles if they are still wet or are retaining water. Empty any water that is remaining
in the vehicle and allow vehicles to thoroughly dry.
• Do not tightly vacuum inflatable vehicles for storage
• Do not tightly roll or fold inflatable vehicles for storage
7 Pre-Opening Inspection Procedures
1. Prior to operating each day, every individual flume should be inspected by qualified personnel.
This inspection should be performed just prior to turning on the water ride’s water supply. Refer
to Section 8.1 for inspection checklist.
a. Visually check the flume for damage or any foreign matter that may be present within
the flume trough.
b. Visually examine all surfaces that a rider could make contact with for chips, cracks, or
any other condition, that could injure a rider.
c. Visually examine the joints of the flume; look for caulk deterioration, excessive gaping,
or alignment problems.
d. Report any problems to the proper authority and do not use the deficient flume until
the problem(s) have been corrected.
2. Upon completion of the flume inspection, a visual inspection of the water ride tower and its
deck, walkways, and handrails, should be performed:
a. Visually check for defective steps, deck surfaces, and handrails.
b. Visually check all surfaces a rider could make contact with for splinters, chipped paint,
or any other condition, that is a potential hazard.
c. Bring problem areas to the attention of the appropriate authority. The deficient facility
should remain closed until the appropriate repairs have been completed.
3. A general visual inspection of the outer portion of the water ride system for any noticeable
damage or deficiency should be performed by Water Ride Maintenance personnel, as defined
in Section 8.1.
4. Once all checks are completed, turn on the water to all areas of the water ride.
5. If the water ride is equipped with sprinkler systems, check for any visible dry spots due to any
possible blockage of the sprinkler nozzles. Should there be blockage causing dry spots, the
nozzles must then be flushed and cleaned of debris. Should this be required you must:
Page 7
a. Turn off the pump and open the clean out valves on the drop pipes and allow the
water to flow until the water is clear.
b. Close the clean out valves on the end of the sprinkler pipes.
c. Turn on the water to the sprinkler pipe, note any jets which are not functioning
properly.
d. Clean the nozzles by removing the tips, cleaning and replacing them and placing
them back into the nozzle neck.
e. Once cleaned, the system is now ready for use.
6. Following the flume and sprinkler pipe inspection, the pumps should be turned on and water
allowed to flow down all water rides which are going to be used. The correct flow rate and water
levels must be achieved and maintained prior to allowing anyone to enter the start position.
7. It is recommended that the initial riders be a Lifeguard or Water Ride Attendant. This will act
as a final check that the water ride is ready to be ridden by the general public.
8. All communication, lifesaving, and emergency, equipment should be checked to ensure it is
present and in working order.
9. All Lifeguards and Water Ride Attendants must be in position prior to allowing the general
public to ride.

9 Fiberglass Maintenance
Note: Always wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) and exercise caution when performing
maintenance procedures.
A preventative maintenance program should have an appropriate budget set aside for supplies, material,
equipment, and resources. An effective preventative maintenance program also requires having personnel
with the appropriate level of training, experience, supervision, and expertise to perform tasks with a high-
level of care and attention to detail to optimize the maintenance/repair of the water rides. This is an
important responsibility of the Owner/Operator that will help extend the life.of the water ride equipment.
The following are key points to keep in mind for your water ride equipment and accessories:
• A proper preventative maintenance program is the absolute best method to maintain the
integrity and appearance of your fiberglass water ride.
• Considering the constant usage of your water rides, small repairs and leaks are inevitable.
Proper tools, materials, and repair procedures will yield the best results.
It is our hope that this document will assist water park operators to formulate a routine preventative
maintenance program that suits their park best. The table below should be used to help formulate such a
program. The tasks listed in the table are discussed in the following sections.
Table 1: Water Ride Maintenance Schedule
Minimum Intervals
Task Ride Surface Exterior
Washing Monthly1 Annually1
Waxing Monthly1 Annually1
Polishing As required As required
Wet Sanding As required As required
Gelcoat Repair As required2 As required2
Leak Repair As required2 As required2
Exterior Painting N/A As desired
1
Washing and waxing should coincide with season opening and closing (if park is seasonal). These
are best practices recommended by ProSlide to maintain the water ride equipment and maximize the
longevity of the appearance of the fiberglass.
2
Gelcoat and leak repairs should be performed immediately when damage is noticed which may entail
closing the ride temporarily, pending the appropriate corrective action, to ensure the ride continues to
operate safely.
Note: Refer to Appendix – B for ProSlide’s recommended products
9.1 General Fiberglass Maintenance

Various elements such as chemicals from the water, or natural elements such as dirt, snow, leaves, etc.,
can collect on the water ride surface. When these elements combine with the ride or rainwater they may
stain the gelcoat surface. In addition to the elements mentioned above, the chemistry of the water within
the water ride system plays a major role in the amount of maintenance required on the fiberglass (see
section 5.1.1 for more details). Ultraviolet (UV) light will also discolor the gelcoat surface over time,
especially in the absence of regular waxing with a product that contains UV protectant
Page 16
While staining or discoloration does not affect the structural integrity of the fiberglass, they may have a
negative impact on the ride performance and/or overall aesthetics of the water ride. These potentially
negative effects can be prevented, and the surface preserved, with routine maintenance and care.
It is important to note that the fiberglass consists of two distinct surfaces: the ride surface (smooth side)
and the exterior (textured side). Both sides use the same Gelcoat, but the exterior has an additional
clearcoat layer for protection against UV and weathering. The same general maintenance procedures apply
to both surfaces, but the maintenance intervals vary (see Table 1 above for details). These maintenance
procedures are discussed below.
Note: Be sure to attempt preventative measures such as aligning the water quality within the limits stated
in this manual, followed by more gentle surface maintenance procedures such as cleaning and waxing. A
scale inhibitor can also be added to the water in the water ride system to prevent and/or remove scale build-
up. An abrasive method such as rubbing compounds and wet sanding should only be used as a last resort.
9.1.1 Washing and Waxing

Polyester gel coats are resistant to water and other light chemicals. Be sure not to use aggressive or strong
chemicals to wash the fiberglass. Avoid any strong alkaline (such as Trisodium phosphate) or highly acidic
cleaners. Bleach and ammonia should also be avoided. These materials, if left in contact with polyester gel
coat, can change the color of your water ride significantly. In addition, organic solvents such as acetone
should never be used on the fiberglass exterior and only on the riding surface when necessary for gelcoat
repairs.
After washing, wax should always be applied to protect the gel coat on the surface of the water ride. There
are a number of waxes on the market. Use one that is specifically designed for fiberglass and contains
Carnauba or Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, also commonly known as Teflon). For optimal color and gloss
preservation, the wax shall also contain a UV protectant.
As long as you maintain water quality and follow your preventative maintenance schedule, washing and
waxing should be the only two maintenance processes required.
9.1.1.1 Procedure
Ensure the entire surface of the water ride is clean and free from all contaminants. We recommend the
following procedure:
1. When performing any maintenance procedures be sure to exercise caution and initiate all safety
measures appropriate for each individual task.
2. With a soft broom remove all debris from the entire water ride.
3. Wash and rinse the entire water ride thoroughly from top to bottom using a non-abrasive cleaning
agent such as automotive or marine soap. This should be paired with non-abrasive cleaning tools
like soft mops, rags or sponges. A pressure washer can be used for the ride exterior at a pressure
less than 2000 psi. Non-skid and walking surfaces can be cleaned with a soft-bristle brush.
4. When the cleaning is complete, the entire ride should be examined for discoloration, stains or
damage. Address each issue as needed.
5. Once the ride has been examined, apply a coat of high quality automotive/marine wax with UV
protectant. Care must be exercised to follow all manufacturer’s instructions when applying the wax.
Page 17
9.1.2 Buffing/Polishing
This procedure requires the use of a variable speed polisher, polishing pad and rubbing compound. The
rubbing compounds come in a variety of grits from very coarse (high stock removal) to very fine (low stock
removal). In most cases, very fine to fine grits are all that is needed (without have to resort to wet sanding).
This process should always be followed by waxing to protect the gelcoat.
9.1.2.1 Procedure
1. Apply the rubbing compound as per manufacturer’s directions using clean pads.
2. Work a small area at a time (9 sq ft/1 m2). If you are using a variable speed polisher, keep the
RPMs between 2000 and 3000 and use only light pressure on the machine otherwise it will
cause scratching, pitting, gouging and swirl marks.
3. It is important to not let the pad dry out and to apply more compound as necessary.
4. As a gloss appears, gradually lighten the pressure on the buffer.
5. Apply wax as previously described.
9.1.3 Wet Sanding
The only time you will need to wet sand your water ride is to remove deep groove scratches or significant
discoloration that cannot be buffed out with rubbing compound. When considering wet sanding, always be
sure to include plenty of water while sanding the gel coat surface as this procedure will also affect the
appearance/integrity of the high gloss finish. Wet sanding should always be followed by buffing with a
rubbing compound and waxing to protect.
9.1.3.1 Procedure
1. Start with 600 grit waterproof sandpaper.
2. Wet the sandpaper in a small bucket of water and rub the affected area keeping the strokes in
the same direction, otherwise swirl marks will appear.
3. Polish with a rubbing compound formulated to remove the scratches left behind by the grit level
of the wet sandpaper.
4. After the polishing is complete, rinse and wash the ride.
5. Apply wax to the gelcoat surface.
9.2 Gelcoat Surface Repairs
Note: Gelcoat requires a minimum temperature of 16°C (60°F) in order to cure properly. This includes the
ambient, substrate and liquid gelcoat temperatures. In addition, the forecast should be verified to ensure
there is no risk of precipitation and that the ambient temperature is at least 3°C above the dew point.
9.2.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required

• Safety glasses
• Protective mask
• Gloves / disposable rubber gloves
Page 18
9.2.2 Tools Required

• Utility knife
• Rotary tool (recommended)
• 1½” (3.8 cm) flexible, disposable putty knife
• stir stick
• Masking tape
• Cardboard or hard reusable surface (several, 1 sq ft/0.1 m2)
• 2” (50 mm) masking tape
• Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide 50% (M.E.K.P. 50) Liquid Hardener, clear (3 ounces)
• Acetone
• Clean rags
• Sealant (Sikaflex® 1a)
9.2.3 Gel Coat Repair Kit (Supplied by ProSlide)
• 1 quart gel coat putty in the appropriate color
• 220 grit waterproof sandpaper
• 1-quart polyester enamel in appropriate color for exterior touch ups
9.2.4 Procedure
1. With knife or rotary tool, cut away all ragged edges, any loose fiber and old sealant in or around
the repair. Any dirt, grease or sealant will not allow the gel coat to adhere.
2. On repair patches longer than 1” (25 mm), sand the area with 220 grit sandpaper, dry.
3. With a clean rag and Acetone, clear all patches of contaminants.
4. With the 2” (50 mm) masking tape, mask 1/8” (3 mm) away from the edge of each repair and
tape off joints/seams.
5. On each individual slide, prepare all repairs of like color before mixing the gel coat.
6. Using a putty knife and hard reusable surface, remove appropriate amount of gel coat putty
from the can to cover all repair patches.
7. Remember to close can of gel coat putty. Water or other liquids will ruin the putty and open air
will dry it out. Store in a controlled environment.
8. Form small well in the gel coat putty and add proper amount of catalyst. The catalyst required
is Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide 50% (M.E.K.P. 50) Use clear liquid only. Mixing is 2% by
volume. Imagine areas the size of a golf ball in diameter and ¼” (6 mm) thick. For each of these
areas you will need four drops of catalyst. This amount will have to be slightly altered depending
on temperature and humidity. If reaction is fast, reduce amount of catalyst. On the other hand,
if the reaction time is slow add more, slowly.
9. Carefully mix the gel coat and catalyst making sure they are mixed thoroughly; it will not harden
otherwise.
Page 19
10. Apply mixed paste to all patches, making sure there are no air bubbles. Do not overfill the repair
with putty as it will require more sanding when cured.
11. Remove all masking tape, except for a small piece to identify the repair location.
12. When patching on a joint, be sure that the joint is restored after patching. Do not fuse the joint
with gel coat. Simply cut the joint with the edge of the putty knife before proceeding to the next
patch.
13. If additional gel coat is required, be sure to use a clean putty knife that is free of catalyst to
extract the gel coat from the can. If any catalyst gets into the can it will harden the entire can
in two days.The overall cure time should be 30 – 45 minutes. If you do your repairs in small
batches, they will dry progressively. By the time you’ve patched a complete flume the first
patches should be ready for the next step.
14. The gel coat putty will first become tacky, then rubbery and then hard. Not until it is hard should
you begin the next step.
15. With a bucket of water and 220 grit waterproof sandpaper, sand the repair to almost level with
the unaffected surface. Use plenty of water while sanding. This will avoid gel coat dust,
scratching and keep the paper from clogging.
16. Next, use 400 grit waterproof sandpaper, ascend to 600 and then to 1000 grit to finish off the
repair. Do not over sand. If a color change occurs, stop immediately as you are most likely
sanding through the gel coat to bare fiberglass. If this occurs, dry the area and repeat at step
9.
17. Rinse all patches with fresh water and let dry.
18. Polish all repairs with an ultrafine rubbing compound.
19. Apply High-quality automotive/marine wax to all repairs.
20. Reapply sealant to all joints where repairs were performed.
9.3 Fiberglass Joint and Leak Repairs
There are several reasons why a water ride might leak. The number one reason is expansion and contraction
of the fiberglass due to temperature variance. Fiberglass will expand in heat and contract in the cold. A
flexible polyurethane sealant is used to compensate for the movement in the water ride sections. Over time,
this will cause voids in the sealant and ultimately cause a leak. There are two methods to repair a leak. The
first one we recommend is to repair the leak from the inside of the ride. Secondly, the joint leak can be
repaired from the outside of the ride. Using the second method, identifying the origin of the leak must be
performed while the ride is in operation.
Before starting any repairs, make sure to check that the stainless-steel joint connection fasteners are all tight
at the location of the leak. If the leak continues after this check, you can now start the repair.
Page 20

the section of the joint where the leak is occurring.
3. Using a clean terrycloth towel with Acetone, clear the joint from debris, dirt and water.
4. Ensure that the joint is thoroughly dried
5. Apply the SikaFlex Primer using the 1” paint brush
6. Apply the new sealant to the clean joint.
7. Using the putty knife, work the new sealant into the joint and reapply more sealant as
necessary. Make sure any air pockets have been removed.
8. Remove painter’s tape
9. Remove excess sealant with the putty knife and clean area with minimal Acetone as required
10. Allow 24 hours for the sealant to cure.
Page 21
9.3.2 Method 2: Repairing a leak from the outside of the water slide
Always use caution and prepare the proper equipment to access the leak repair (i.e. boom lift, scaffolding).
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as a fall arrest system, harness, safety glasses, steel toe boots,
gloves and hardhat are also mandatory when performing this task.
9.3.2.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required

• Safety glasses
• Protective mask
9.3.2.2 Tools/Materials
• Ratchet wrench
• 9/16” (14 mm) wrench
• 9/16” (14 mm) deep socket

9.3.2.3 Procedure
1. With the ride in operation, identify where the leak originates. Leaks are usually not located
where the water drips from the fiberglass flange.
2. Loosen at least four bolts surrounding the origin of the leak.
3. Using the hammer, insert the wedge between the two flanges, separating them slightly.
4. With the drill and 3/8” (10 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through one of the two flanges you are
separating 1.5” (38 mm) down from the riding surface.
5. With the retractable knife, cut the tip of the caulking gun slightly smaller than 3/8” (10 mm) to
fit perfectly into the hole you just drilled in the fiberglass flange.
6. Insert the tip of the applicator into the 3/8” (10 mm) hole and begin squeezing sealant
generously into the joint.
7. Using the hammer again, remove the wedge from between the flanges.
8. Tighten the 3/8” fasteners with the 9/16” (14 mm) socket and wrench.
9. Remove excess sealant with the putty knife and finish cleaning the area with Acetone and clean
rags.
Page 22
9.4 Fiberglass Exterior Painting

In some cases, it may be desirable to paint the exterior of the fiberglass to restore color and gloss. This is
especially true if regular maintenance has not been performed and/or several years have passed. For this
purpose, high-quality two-part polyurethane paint should be applied according to the manufacturer’s
directions. If the exterior fiberglass surface shows any signs of cracking or crazing, an epoxy primer should
also be used. Any major cracks, divots or other types of damage should be repaired prior to applying the
paint.
In the absence of any surface preparation guidelines from the paint manufacturer, the following can be
used:
1. Clean surface with power washer and industrial degreaser (use minimum setting of 2000 psi
and make sure nozzle is close to surface)
2. Clean surface with power washer and water only (use minimum setting of 2000 psi and make
sure nozzle is close to surface)
3. Sand surface with 100 grit dual-action orbital sander until surface is smooth and free of cracks
and/or peeling
4. Clean surface with power washer and water only (use minimum setting of 2000 psi and make
sure nozzle is close to surface)
5. Allow to dry
6. Repair any larger cracks or gouges using gelcoat repair putty
7. Apply two-part polyurethane paint (and primer if necessary) as per manufacturer’s application
instructions
9.5 Riding Surface Resurfacing
Similar to exterior painting, it may be desirable to resurface a riding surface if routine maintenance and
controlling water quality has been neglected. This type of work should only be performed by qualified 3rd
parties using ProSlide approved gelcoat. Using incorrect methods and materials could seriously affect the
ride performance, safety and durability. Resurfacing of the riding surface using the correct methods and
materials may still have an impact on ride performance.
Should an Owner/Operator decide to engage a 3rd party to resurface the ride, a new water ride
verification/testing process (as outlined in ASTM F2376 Section 9) must be performed and documented to
determine the ride performance is acceptable. This testing may be completed by the Owner/Operator
themselves or by hiring a 3rd party.
In all cases of resurfacing, ProSlide should be engaged to ensure correct materials and procedures are
used.

10 Polycarbonate Maintenance and Cleaning

The following section outlines the general cleaning procedure for polycarbonate windows.
• Gently wash the sheet with a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water, using a soft, grit-free
cloth or sponge to loosen any dirt or grime.
• Fresh paint splashes, grease, and smeared glazing compounds can be removed easily before
drying by rubbing lightly with a soft cloth using petroleum ether (BP65), hexane or heptane.
Afterwards, wash the window using mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Scratches and minor abrasions can be minimized by using a mild automobile polish. We suggest
that a test be made on a small area of the polycarbonate window with the polish selected and that
the polish manufacturer’s instructions be followed, prior to using the polish on the entire sheet.
• Thoroughly rinse with clean water to remove any cleaner residue and dry the surface with a soft
cloth to prevent water spotting.
Close attention should be paid to the substances and methods used to clean the polycarbonate sheet.
Using incompatible cleaning materials on the polycarbonate sheet can cause structural or surface damage.
The table below lists a number of incompatible cleaning substances.
Incompatible Polycarbonate Cleaning Methods
Cleaning Method Examples
Abrasion Scrubbing with brushes, steel wool, using abrasive cleaners
Highly Alkaline Cleaner Bleach, ammonia, sodium hydroxide
Aromatic or Toluene, benzene, gasoline, acetone, carbon tetrachloride
Halogenated Solvent
Harsh Solvent Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), hydrochloric acid
Additionally, the polycarbonate sheet should not be cleaned in direct sunlight or in high temperatures, as
this can lead to staining. Tools with sharp edges such as razorblades or squeegees should not be used to
remove deposits on the window, as they will easily scratch and damage the polycarbonate.

Appendix – C: Ride Support & Tower Systems Maintenance

Ride Support & Tower Systems Maintenance Schedule
Task Minimum Interval

Cleaning Monthly
Scale Removal As required
Painting As required
Note: If during routine inspections any structural problems are noticed, the park should immediately inform
ProSlide and the Engineer of Record (EoR). The instructions below are for routine preventative
maintenance and aesthetic repairs.
Note: The below instructions and material specifications are intended to be used when none have been
provided by the original paint supplier. Always follow the instructions provided by the original paint supplier
when possible.
General Cleaning
The ride supports and tower systems can be cleaned using a pressure washer and mild industrial
degreaser.
Scale Removal
In some instances, additional cleaning will be necessary if scale (mineral deposits) start to build up. Proceed
as follows to remove mineral deposits.
Warning: Wear protective clothing and goggles during the entire de-scaling operation.
Caution: Never use abrasive materials or wire brushes to remove scale as this will damage the paint. Make
sure muriatic acid does not come in contact with bare aluminum. Muriatic acid will blacken aluminum surface
and cause deterioration of the metal.
1. Be sure all surfaces are dry.

2. Prepare a mixture of 80% muriatic acid and 20% water.
3. Spray muriatic acid mixture on surfaced to be cleaned.
4. Thoroughly rinse the structure with fresh water and a pressure washer to remove all acid from the
structure. (Note: Any acid left standing overtime can cause damage to the structure.)
Seasonal Shutdown/Winterization
In climates where the water ride must be shut down for seasonal harsh weather, the water ride must be
properly prepared against freezing, snow, and ice damage.
The end of the season is also an ideal time for maintenance activities. If new parts are required, they can
be ordered and will arrive well before the following seasonal opening.
Proceed with seasonal shut-down of ride supports and tower systems as follows.
1. Clean painted metal surfaces including decorative elements, structural elements and railings
Page 29
2. Visually inspect towers and support foundations for cracks, missing concrete, cracks in concrete,
missing or loose fasteners, or any other signs of damage or deterioration. Make sure grout is in
good condition.
3. Check base plates for missing or loose fasteners and components.
4. Check the surface of metal components such as supports, columns, tower connections, gussets,
bracing, and cross members for rusting or coating failure where painted (which can lead to future
rusting). Check for missing or loose fasteners and components.
5. Check side protection and guardrails for damaged or loose components. Confirm that all fasteners
are tight. Look for sharp or protruding objects which could injure riders or damage clothing.
6. Check piping supports and hangers. Ensure that pipes are secure and that supports and hangers
are in good condition.
7. Check that all fasteners that may have been missed in other inspection points are secure.
Fasteners
There may be different grades and sizes of fasteners used across the water ride system. When replacing
fasteners, always refer to the assembly manual. Always be sure that any replacement is the same size and
material grade as the fastener being replaced. All fasteners must be in place. Missing hardware could lead
to a leaking joint or serious structural issue.
Triodetic
The following are recommendations to extend the service life of the Triodetic tubular space frame, or in the
case of aluminum structures to enhance the anodized finish.
It is recommended the tubular space frames be cleaned a minimum of once a year, preferably twice a year.
Cleaning should be undertaken within the period running from late spring to early fall. The ideal cleaning
solvent is one that is water soluble and contains a degreaser concentrate. See Appendix B for
recommended products.
To carry out the cleaning, apply the working solution and rinsing liquid by means of a pressure sprayer
delivering a spray of 800 to 1,000 psi. When use of spray equipment is impractical or hazardous, use a
sponge or cloth. Follow directions as set out on degreaser manufacturer's container label.
Tower Walking and Non-Skid Surfaces
The tower walking and non-skid surfaces should be inspected daily to ensure they are clean and safe to
walk on. The frequency of cleaning required is dependent on the frequency of use and environmental
conditions. It may be necessary to clean high traffic areas on a daily basis. To clean these surfaces, a soft
bristle brush should be used in combination with an automotive soap (on fiberglass surfaces) or industrial
degreaser (on steel or aluminum surfaces). Ensure that the surface is rinsed adequately and dried before
use.
Page 30
Painting
If damage to the paint is found in routine inspections, it must be repaired to avoid corrosion of the underlying
steel. This must be done no later than one (1) month after the defect is identified. Prior to the repair, the
damaged area must be inspected to determine which of the following conditions has occurred.
1) Superficial Damage
If the primer is intact, the repair is a matter of aesthetics and may take place when convenient. Monitor the
damaged area to ensure that no rust develops. To carry out the repair, simply mix a small batch of touch-
up paint. Fill the scratch with touch-up paint and allow it to dry.
2) Non-Superficial Damage
If metal is exposed, the area must be primed and painted using good commercial practices, within one
week to prevent structural damage caused by corrosion. See below for painting procedure.
Tools and Materials
• Epoxy Primer
• Colour Coat: Two-Part Polyurethane
• Top Coat: Two-Part Polyurethane (if necessary)
• Scrapers for removing damaged paint.
• Sand paper (120 – 180 grit) for providing a suitable surface for primer and paint bonding.
• A wire brush for removing rust.
• Pure bristle paintbrushes in a variety of sizes.
• Spray paint equipment for large areas.
Procedure
1. Paint must be applied to clean, dry surfaces, at a temperature of between 10°C and 29°C (50°F
and 85°F). Paint cures slowly at cooler temperatures and more quickly at higher temperatures. Mid-
range temperatures work best.
Note: Mixing ratios must be accurately measured to achieve a durable coating.
Note: Use paint within one hour of being mixed. Small batches of paint are recommended to ensure
it is used shortly after mixing.
2. Remove scale (mineral deposits) if present. See above section on scale removal for procedure.
3. Scrape off any bubbled or loose paint from around the damaged area. Paint may appear normal
around edges of damaged area but may not be properly bonded to the primer coat. Make sure
unbounded paint is removed.
4. Scrape off damaged primer if required.
5. Remove additional material with a wire brush if required.
6. Lightly sand exposed area.
Page 31
7. If bare metal is exposed, remove all signs of rust and corrosion.

8. Make sure damaged surfaces and surrounding area are clean and dry.
9. Wash with a mild cleaner such as ammonia-based window cleaner or dish detergent.
10. Wipe area dry with a rag.
11. Use a tack cloth to remove dirt and other small particles.
12. If heavy corrosion is present that cannot be removed easily, apply rust inhibitor paint to the corroded
areas. Allow coating to dry before proceeding to the next step.
13. If bare metal is exposed, apply a layer of epoxy primer:
14. Apply primer to bare metal with a paint brush.
15. Allow coating to dry before proceeding to the next step (typically about 1 hour at 21°C/70°F).
16. Select polyurethane paint to match colour of repair area.
17. Mix polyurethane paint as per manufacturer’s directions.
18. Apply a layer of polyurethane enamel paint to the repair area. Allow coating to dry before
proceeding to the next step. Additional coats may be necessary to ensure repaired area is flush
with surrounding area.
19. Allow polyurethane enamel paint to dry for at least 12 hours at 21°C/70°F after final coat for a
complete cure (or as per manufacturer’s directions).
