In Plain Language
Before starting construction work on an amusement ride or device (other than maintenance, repair, or demolition), this clause requires a contractor or owner-builder to have scaled plans and specifications prepared, including the manufacturer's erection and assembly instructions, and signed and sealed by an authorized engineer. It also allows manufacturer-directed alteration work without new plans in some cases, and requires final plans to be handed over to the owner once construction is done.
