Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Required for
					 permit. Before a permit may be issued as provided in section
					 45-1.12 
					 of this Subpart an inspection of the amusement device, viewing stand or tent
					 shall be made in compliance with the procedures set by the commissioner. Such
					 inspection shall have been conducted within one year prior to the permit
					 application, unless such period shall have been extended by operation of
					 paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
(b) Maintenance and safety schedules. The
					 owner or lessee of a device deemed by the commissioner to normally be operated
					 at speeds or with movements creating severe centrifugal forces shall have
					 available for inspection such recommended maintenance and safety schedules or
					 requirements as are supplied by the manufacturer of the device. An initial
					 operating permit shall not be granted in the absence of these documents.
(1) Where such maintenance and safety
					 schedules do not exist or are not available due to circumstances beyond the
					 control of the owner or operator of an amusement device, the owner or operator
					 shall, within six months of the discovery of the unavailability of such
					 schedules, submit to the commissioner a proposed schedule of maintenance for
					 that amusement device consistent with the criteria in paragraph (2) of this
					 subdivision. The submitted schedule of maintenance shall henceforth be the
					 schedule with which the owner or operator must comply to qualify for annual
					 operating permits.
(2) The schedule
					 of maintenance shall include where applicable, but not be limited to, the
					 following:
(i) A description of the device
					 operation including the function and operation of its major
					 components.
(ii) A description of
					 the designed motions of the device during operation.
(iii) A description of the procedures for
					 installation, setup, disassembly and transportation of the device.
(iv) The recommended lubrication procedures
					 including the types and specifications of lubricants; a drawing, chart or
					 instruction showing the lubrication points, the frequency of lubrication and
					 any special methods of lubrication.
(v) A description of the daily, pre-opening
					 inspection required including identification of any special care areas and the
					 procedure for the inspection and maintenance of such areas.
(vi) A description, including frequency, of
					 recommended maintenance inspections and testing, other than that in
					 subparagraph (v) of this paragraph.
(vii) The recommended wear limits or
					 tolerances.
(viii) The recommended
					 operational tests, including the frequency of tests, which will allow the
					 determination whether a device is operating within recommended prescribed
					 operational limits.
(ix) The
					 recommended nondestructive testing along with appropriate acceptance criteria
					 and the special parts or areas to be tested.
(x) The recommended specifications for the
					 use of replacement fasteners, and the recommended torque requirements for
					 fasteners, if applicable. If appropriate, precautionary information relating to
					 the continued use of fasteners that have been loosened or retorqued.
(xi) A description of the recommended
					 maintenance procedures for electrical components.
(xii) The schematics of hydraulic and
					 pneumatic systems including recommended pressures, location of component line
					 specification, fitting specification, type of fluid, location chart and
					 troubleshooting guide.
(xiii) A
					 description of the recommended maintenance procedures for hydraulic and
					 pneumatic systems and components.
(xiv) The recommended procedures to be
					 followed in an extended period of non-operation or storage.
(xv) A description of the recommended
					 assembly and disassembly techniques and procedures pertaining to specific
					 components, as deemed necessary.
(xvi) Any maintenance bulletins or similar
					 documents, if available.
(3) None of the provisions contained in
					 paragraph (1) of this subdivision shall be interpreted as to prevent the owner
					 or operator of an amusement device from receiving an annual permit to operate
					 such device during the proposed maintenance schedule submission and approval
					 process provided that such owner or operator meets all the requirements for an
					 annual operating permit.
