See rotation schedule posted on the pool master schedule. • For further information, see manuals folder located on the bookshelf in the Staff room. • The Dolphin Wave 100 bags, are machine washed in cold water once a month and then hung up to dry (ABSOLUTELY no bleach or detergent can be used on the bags). • Please notify Head Instructor Guard of any problems with the Dolphin Wave 100. TO USE DOLPHIN WAVE 100: • Place bag over wire frame (fuzzy side in), ensuring that the seams are on the inside of the bag, the label on the bag should be located on the side of the frame. • Gather the fabric over the frames and lock on with the plastic holders. • Place assembly into the bottom of the Dolphin Wave 100 and secure into place by pushing on the center of the frame to clip into place with the yellow clips located in each corner of the Dolphin Wave 100 (Please be gentle, as the motor is exposed and can be damaged if the bag frame is forced into place). • Place Dolphin Wave 100 in water upside down moving side to side to until all the air is out of the unit • In the deep end, place the Dolphin Wave 100 (right side up) on the long side of the pool, so that when it moves forwards it will be going the width of the pool, letting out cord as it goes to the bottom. Finally plug the cord into the power box. 2 Harbour Pool EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES Staff and Facility Procedure Manual • Dolphin Wave 100 unit should be plugged into the wall in the corner of the deep end of the pool by the diving board. Tie off cord at tape line on the deep end ladder • Press power on and, check to make sure it is running. TO REMOVE DOLPHIN WAVE 100 FROM THE POOL: • Turn off power and disconnect cord. • Put cap on cord input • Start pulling cord slowly to remove the Dolphin Wave 100 at the edge of the pool, when the unit is close enough to reach grab and remove by the handle (Do not at any time pull the Dolphin Wave 100 out by the cord!!). • To roll up the cord, stretch out along the deck and loop cord onto Dolphin Wave 100 cart. • Take to mechanical room and take bag off away from waste grate in case there is anything of value in the bag, hose bag clean and hang to dry. • The Dolphin Wave 100 can then be parked in the backroom. INFLATABLE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: • 2 points hook onto the 3rd lane rope • 1 point hooks into lane #1- wall hook closest to ladder • 1 point ties to the deep end ladder • **Please see Lifeguard Rotations for picture of the inflatable set up** • Please notify Head Instructor Guard of any problems with the inflatable or set up. POWER SCRUBBER • The power scrubber is used to disinfect the floor • MUST HAVE HANDS ON TRAINING BEFORE USING! • For further information see manual in a folder in the staff room • Please notify Head Instructor Guard of any problems with the power scrubber. TO USE THE POWERSCRUBBER: 1. Place the sponge into its proper place, place black lid on the dirty water tank. 3 Harbour Pool EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES Staff and Facility Procedure Manual 2. The power scrubber can be filled with water and Quat Plus in the front of the machine. 3. Be sure that the red valve is opened and the yellow cap is removed off of the fresh water hose. 4. After filling replace the yellow cap and close the red valve. Then take to the area that needs to be cleaned. 5. Be sure that the vacuum and the brush are in the down position when on. 6. Turn on the machine by pressing the power button. 7. Pull the trigger under the handle to start the power scrubber 8. Be sure to walk slowly with the machine to allow for proper disinfection of the floor. 9. Once the power scrubber is out of clean water it must be emptied of the dirty water. To do this take to the back waste grate and unhook the black hose, hold it upright remove the lid and then put towards the drain. 10. If more cleaning needs to take place follow the procedure again. 11. If not, store the power scrubber back in the equipment room—the lid must be removed off the dirty water tank. As well remove and clean the sponge and leave it on top of the lid to dry. 12. Record the amount of time spent scrubbing in the equipment room 13. Only plug into the charger once the power scrubber is completely dead as it will extend the life of the battery. PRESSURE WASHER • The pressure washer is used to clean scum and grime off of tiles in and around the pool • To make this machine run you must plug in a hose to a water source as well as into the pressure washer. Once the hoses are hooked up the pressure washer can be plugged into the outlet. • Check oil before use, there is more oil located in the tool stall. • Black Pressure washers can only be plugged into the Bay area and behind the lifeguard chair • For further information please refer to manuals located in the staff room • Notify the Head Instructor Guard of any issues with the pressure washer 4 Harbour Pool Staff and Facility Procedure Manual EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES BOOT BUOY • The boot buoy that is located in the lobby is used for the contractors and for facilities maintenance that come in to work in the facility • THIS IS NOT A TOY! Please ensure that kids are not playing with it. • The boot buoy is used by simply pulling down the handle and putting your show over the brush • To empty the boot buoy pull out tray at the bottom by the handle. This will be full of water so be careful. Take to the mop room and empty the tray and fill it with fresh water and a ¼ cup of quat plus in the sink and replace in the bottom of the boot buoy • For further information please refer to the manuals located in the staff room • Notify the Head Instructor Guard of any issues with the boot buoy BUFFER • The buffer is used to set chemicals into the pool tiles to allow for a better clean. It also ensures that the dirt and grime is lifted so it can be easily washed off with a hose or pressure washer. • The buffer must be plugged in to an outlet that is not occupied by any other electrical device. It will trip the breaker if the circuit is overloaded. • To use the buffer turn it on by the switch on the front, and pull back the safety switch on the handle. The scrubber is moved left or right by moving the handle bars up and down • Don’t run over the electrical cord with the buffer • For further information please refer to the manuals located in the staff room • Notify the Head Instructor Guard of any issues with the buffer VACUUM • Hands on instruction provided during training • For instructions please refer to the mechanical procedures for non- fecal or noncontamination procedure • Notify the Head Instructor Guard of any issues with the vacuum 5 Harbour Pool Staff and Facility Procedure Manual EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES AQUATIC WHEELCHAIR • The wheelchair is to be stored in the equipment room • When requested by a patron, provide them with a chair and attachments and ensure that the brakes are “off”. Show them how to put the brakes on for transfers. • Direct the patron to use the wheelchair ramp over by the East corner of the bay. • Remind the patron and their aide to be cautious when crossing the bay gutter tracks by the steps. The wheels tend to stick in this area. • Do not leave the chair in the water. Remove it to the deck until it is needed by the patron to leave the pool, unless this is not possible. • Before returning the chair to the equipment storage area, rinse it off then leave it open to dry, do not fold! • The wheelchair must not be used outside the facility unless it is an emergency. CLEANING OUTDOOR FOOTWEAR, WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS AND CANES BEFORE ENTERING THE DECK • This procedure is to try to keep our facility free from sources of infection and bacteria such as e-coli, etc. These can be carried onto the deck through outside footwear, wheels, canes, etc. • We will provide people with “booties” to fit over their shoes before being allowed onto the deck. These are stored in a drawer in the cashier area. A well labeled bleach solution will be available in the mop room by the front door – to be provided to individuals needing to cleanse wheelchairs, strollers, canes, etc. Boot buoy can also be used. • All Harbour Pool staff will be responsible for the education and enforcement of this procedure, advising patrons and contractors why it is necessary and providing the supplies to do the cleaning. SILKLEER BAG CHANGES • The silkleer bag needs to be changed when it is empty. • Ensure that a mask, gloves, and goggles are worn • To change the silkleer bag unplug the silkleer from the acutrol. Turn on the orange water valve to empty any excess silkleer out of the bag. Once the silkleer is empty, turn the orange valve off and remove the bag. Discard the empty bag in the garbage dumpster outside of the facility. • Place a new bag onto the feeder • Plug the silkleer back into the Acutrol 6 Harbour Pool Staff and Facility Procedure Manual EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES OPERATING THE OXYGEN CYLINDER 1. USING THE CYLINDER • Open the cylinder valve by turning it counter-clockwise as far as it will go, then back ¼ turn. If you hear oxygen leaking out, tighten the hand screw further until the leak stops. • Read the amount of pressure in the cylinder on the pressure gauge. A full cylinder should have approximately 2000 psi pressure. • Turn the litre control knob on the flow meter until the indicator is at 10 – 15 litre per minute. • Fit the mask to the victims face so that it is comfortable. • Turn the cylinder valve off when finished using your oxygen. Leave the flow control on as you turn off the cylinder. That way, excess pressure can drain out of the regulator. You’ll see the needle on the pressure gauge drop to zero. • Remove used mask, discard and replace with new one. 2. REPLACING AN EMPTY CYLINDER • Replace the cylinder when the pressure gauge reads 100 psi. • Make sure the cylinder valve is closed by turning it clockwise as far as it will go. • Make sure the pressure gauge reads zero before loosening the hand screw. If pressure remains in the regulator, open the flow control to drain off the pressure. • Loosen the hand screw until the regulator pins are out of the pinholes. • Remove the regulator by lifting it up over the neck of the cylinder. • Give the empty cylinder to the Head Instructor Guard to be sent away and refilled. 3. SETTING UP A NEW CYLINDER • Place the cylinder in a carrying bag. • Remove the tape or plastic dust cover from the cylinder neck. Make sure that the plastic washer remains in place. • Using the turnkey, slowly turn the cylinder valve open (counter-clockwise) for a brief moment and close immediately to blow out of any dust that may have accumulated in the cylinder valve opening. Be careful to have the valve opening pointing away from you when you perform this procedure. 7 Harbour Pool EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES Staff and Facility Procedure Manual • Slip the regulator over the cylinder neck. Line up the pins on the regulator with the pin holes in the cylinder neck. • Tighten the hand screw. • Push the tubing on the nipple below the flow meter. WASHER AND DRYER OPERATION WASHER • Push in the knob • Turn to ‘Regular 12’ • Pull out the knob to initiate water • Put soap in the washer • Put clothes in • Close lid DRYER • Turn knob to ‘Auto Regular- more dry’ • Clean out lint trap • Fill water bucket located beside the dryer. Ensure this is filled to avoid a fire hazard. • Place wet clothes in dryer • Push knob to start FALL ARREST FOR PROMPT RESPONSE THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE OUT AND READY FOR REFERENCE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY Unless under specific direction for the Head Instructor Guard, no person should be entering the filter tanks. If problems, such as the ones that are noted below, are noticed at time of the backwash call the on call staff member and the Head Instructor Guard. Reasons that an entry should occur; 1. Filter elements are broken or loose 8 Harbour Pool Staff and Facility Procedure Manual 2. Filter brackets are broken or loose EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES 3. To remove or install the equipment for shutdown 4. Rinsing filters with hot water after being soaked in filter flo INSPECTION PROCEDURE Grab the harness from the first aid room Inspect the harness. Inspect the harness hardware (buckles, D-Rings, back pad, loop keepers); these items must not be damaged, broken, distorted and must be free of sharp edges, burrs, cracks, worn parts, or corrosion. PVC coated hardware must be free of cuts, rips, tears, holes, etc. in the coating to ensure non-conductivity. Ensure buckles work smoothly. If present, inspect the quick connect buckles by ensuring that the release tabs work freely and that a click is hear when the buckle engages. Inspect parachute buckle spring. Inspect the webbing; material must be free of frayed, cut, or broken fibers. Check for tears, abrasions, mold, burns, or discoloration. Inspect stitching; Check for pulled or cut stitches. Broken stitches may be an indication that the harness has been impact loaded and must be removed from service. Inspect labels; all labels should be present and fully legible. Inspect each system component or subsystem according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Inspect the Stitched Impact Indicator: The stitched impact indicator is a section of webbing that is lapped back on itself and secured with a specific stitch pattern holding the lap. The stitch pattern is designed to release when the harness arrests a fall or has been subjected to an equivalent force. If the impact indicator has been activated the harness must be removed from service and destroyed. Record the inspection date and results in the inspection maintenance log (located on the shelf in the staff room-- Fall Protection Maintenance and Inspection Logs) Notify the Head Instructor Guard if at the facility, or call the emergency cell phone to notify the on call staff member that someone is entering the tank and the reason for entering. Notify staff at the facility of the procedure and carry a two way radio to ensure direct communication with all staff. Put on fall arrest harness using the following steps; Locate the back D-ring held in position by the D-ring pad; lift up harness and hold by this D-ring. Ensure the straps are not twisted. 9 Harbour Pool EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES Staff and Facility Procedure Manual Grasp the shoulder straps and slip harness onto one arm. D-ring will be located on your back side. Ensure straps are not tangles and hang freely. Slip free arm into harness and position should straps on top shoulder. Chest strap buckle will be positioned on front side when worn properly. Pass excess strap through the loop keepers. Reach between your legs and grasp the leg strap on your left side. Bring the strap up between your legs and connect it. Pull the free end of the strap away from the buckle to make a snug fit on each leg strap. To loosen the leg strap, grasp the buckle and pull away from your leg to allow the strap to pull through the buckle. A plastic end keeper on the end of the strap will stop it from pulling completely out of the buckle. Repeat this procedure for the right side. Attach the chest strap by connecting the buckle (Pass male buckle through female buckle and pull free end of webbing to tighten). Chest straps should be six inches down from the top of the shoulders. Pass excess strap through the loop keepers. The strap may be tightened to a snug fit by pulling the free strap end to the left (away from the buckle). To loosen the chest strap, grasp the buckle and pull away from the body to allow the strap to pull through the buckle. A plastic end keeper on the end of the strap will stop it from pulling completely out of the buckle. Adjust shoulder straps to a snug fit. Left and right sides of shoulder traps should be adjusted to the same length and the chest strap should be centered on your lower chest, six inches down from the shoulder. The front D-ring on vest style harness is moved up or down by adjusting the shoulder straps and leg straps. Center the back D-ring between shoulder blades. Adjust leg straps to a snug fit. At least three inches of webbing must extend past buckle on leg straps. Ensure that the arm and SRL are located in the filter tank bracket of the pool that is being entered into Put on the proper footwear- Rubber boots 10 Harbour Pool EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES Staff and Facility Procedure Manual Empty pockets and ensure that there is no loose clothing, hair, or straps.
