JOLLY ROGER AMUSEMENT RIDES
INSTALLATION
Siting
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THE RIDE BE SITED ON A PLINTH, PLATFORM OR
ANY FORM OF MATTING. DOING THIS WILL INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THE RIDE
FROM THE GROUND AND MAY CAUSE INJURY FROM FALLING OR TRIPPING.
2.1 A common sense approach should be adopted when siting Kiddie Rides. The following items
are an indication, but not exhaustive:
2.1.1 Position the Ride on a level surface.
2.1.2 Ensure there is adequate clearance all round the Ride to minimise the risk of injury to the
passengers or public. If possible, a 1 metre clearance around the ride is recommended.
2.1.3 DO NOT obstruct emergency exits.
2.1.4 DO NOT obstruct fire appliances, hydrants etc.
2.1.5 If sited outside:
The socket outlet supplying the power should be connected by a permanent weatherproof
plug protected by a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) or an Earth Leakage Circuit
Breaker (ELCB) having a trip rating not exceeding 30 milliamps in 30 millisecs.
DO NOT operate in adverse weather conditions.
NOTE
This ride is considered suitable for outdoor protected locations i.e. under a canopy, or cover and not in
a position where the ride could be exposed to direct rain or snow, or other adverse weather conditions.
2.1.6 DO NOT locate the ride directly against the plug, which should remain accessible at all
times
2.1.7 The ride is not suitable for installation or operation in an area where a water jet could be
used
For safety reasons the electrical wiring is colour coded as follows:
2.1.8 For rides with 220-240 volt electrical supply, the wiring colour codes are:
Brown - live
Green/Yellow-earth
Blue – neutral.
2.1.9 For rides with 110-120 volt electrical supply, the wiring colour codes are:

White – neutral.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY SERVICE OR REPAIR.
