3-1 Manufacturer’s Specifications
Reference Standard:
ASTM-F24 Standards on Amusement Rides and Devices
1. F583 Maintenance Procedures for Amusement Rides and Devices
2. F893 Inspection of Amusement Rides and Devices
3. F1159 Design and Manufacture of Amusement Rides and devices
MaxFlight, Corp., at the time of the initial design and prototype manufacture, determines by calculations
and testing the appropriateness of the functional design criteria. The visual esthetics of the ride are also
evaluated and together with the functional design criteria make up the manufacturer’s design specifications.
These design specifications are adhered to on all subsequently produced rides of the same style.
Occasionally, through field experience, it becomes necessary to specify a modification to the original
design specifications. Actual modification to meet the change in design specifications can only be
