trajectory that is nearly parallel to the front of the unit and is positioned so
the flow of water is within 3 inches of the front edge of the fountain and at

hand, require 5 lbf or less to operate without tight grasping, pinching, or
twisting of the wrist; and are front mounted or side mounted near the front
edge. Additionally, provide a drinking fountain that is accessible to people
who have difficulty bending or stooping. This can be accommodated by
the use of a "hi-lo" fountain; by providing one fountain accessible to those
who use wheelchairs and one fountain at a standard height convenient for
those who have difficulty bending; by providing a fountain accessible to
people who use wheelchairs and a cup dispenser; or by such other means
as would achieve the required accessibility for each group of people.

Provide handrails that are between 1'/ inches and 1 %2 inches in diameter
with a continuous gripping surface along both sides of the ramp, extending
