Other information required to be provided by manufacturer shall include the following: ride duration, recommended balance of passenger loading or unloading, environmental restrictions, recommended passenger restrictions, electrical power requirements, mechanical power requirements, water flow, static information, dynamic information, trailering information, fastener schedule, load distribution per footing, and elements and structures.
