3. Care must be used in siting the electric fan. Fans required for
constant flow inflatables should be sited well away from the pool side
and other wet areas. Swimmers should be prevented from having
access to the fan.

Set up: please read the instructions found in the Pool Manual supplied.
It is essential that the pool inflatable is transported form the storage area, to the
inflation area, near the pool carefully and not dragged, as this will cause damage
including tears and grazes to the fabric. A trolley should be used if necessary.
The surface of the area, where the inflatable is to be inflated, should be non-abrasive
and clear of any protrusions or objects that might damage the inflatable.
Please read the Constant Flow Inflatables-p.7 in Pool Inflatable Operational
Manual.
The slide is inflated and floated into position, then it is anchored to the
railings as indicated in the image below:
There are 6 anchors at the bottom of the slide –3 on each sides. Extra
anchors have been provided.
Important:
We recommend at least 2 supervisors to be present at all time –one
supervisor on the platform and one on the side of the pool. Please
make sure the area under the slide and the anchors of the unit are in
sight at all time.
Please adhere to the stated number of users and do not allow the slide
to become overcrowded. No rough play on the unit.

Correct sliding position: arms crossed at front. The slides are designed for users to
go down feet first only. Users to slide down the center of the slide in order to avoid
touching the walls. One person at a time. Operators to only allow the next user to slide
down if the slide and landing area are clear.
Slide feet first only –Supervisors must not allow users to go down head first.
Diving off the slide into the pool is potentially hazardous. Supervisors must instruct
users regarding the correct sliding position.

No jumping, sit to launch –please supervise the platform at all times and instruct
users regarding the correct sliding position.
Enough water should be provided on the sliding surface to enable users to slide down
easily. If it is allowed to become dry during use there is a risk to users of friction burns
or grazes. There is a webbing loop on inside wall for attachment of water hose.

•No one may take onto the inflatable with them any hard sharp or dangerous objects,
such as buckles, pens, keys, knives etc. Spectacles are best removed.
•Boisterous behavior (for example, deliberately pushing others off the inflatable or
lifting the inflatable in an attempt to dislodge others) which might put themselves or
others at risk is to be curbed. Offenders should be warned in the first instance.
•Careless or reckless behavior or intentional rough play including recklessly colliding
with other pool users, or interference with anchor ropes, or air pipes or fans, or
repeated disregard of operator’s directions, is not to be allowed. Offenders should be
dealt with by immediate expulsion.
•Under no circumstances should the users be allowed to climb on the structure whilst
it is out of the water or not correctly anchored.
•It is recommended that a signboard should be erected close to the front of the unit
listing the above points and any specific rules of play.
Rules of Play
Owners and operators and swimming pool managers should display their rules of play
in a manner which can be seen and read by all users before they are allowed onto the
inflatable, e.g. a prominent sign-board or poster. All attendants should be familiar with
those Rules of Play.
Ideally the attendant(s) should be equipped with a whistle to attract the attention of a
particular user or group of users. The system of work should ensure that the users are
admitted to the inflatable in a controlled and safe manner.
