• On the day of the requested inspection, the owner of the device(s) is required to provide copies of all device manuals, maintenance records, training records for ride operators and the last inspection report (either in-state or out-of-state report). Failure to provide any of the listed documents will result in the inspection not being conducted until any missing documentation is provided.
• Safety inspectors will not begin any inspections until all power source units have been inspected for safety compliance.
• Owner will be responsible to notify the safety inspectors on site that the devices are ready for inspection. At that time they will begin the inspection. Any and all violations found after the inspection begins will be documented on the safety inspection report.
