Slowstop 5 Inch Rebounding Steel Bollard Installation Guide

5 Inch Rebounding Steel Bollard

Product Information:

The product is a bollard system designed to provide impact
resistance and protection in various settings. It consists of the
following components:

• 1 Base
• 1 Elastomer
• 1 Adapter with Set-Screws
• 1 Tube
• 1 Cap
• 4 to 8 Screw Anchors (Depending on Model)

The product is suitable for installation in unbroken concrete
and is recommended to be used with a minimum 3000 PSI, 6-inch thick
concrete. Proper sizing of the bollards for expected loads and
speeds is essential.

Product Usage Instructions:

1. Layout and mark the final location using the base as a guide.
   Remove the base.

   Note: Keep the bollard 0.32 times its height away from any solid
   object to allow for tilting.

2. Place the elastomer in the center of the location and place the
   adapter on top of the elastomer. If applicable, turn the adapter so
   that the set screws are facing the direction of impact.
3. Fit the base over the adapter, ensuring it rests on the adapter
   flange and covers the elastomer.
4. Using the base as a guide, drill four, six, or eight (as
   required) holes deep enough to completely sink the anchors. Clean
   out the holes from concrete dust.
5. Tighten the concrete screw anchors in a star pattern,
   compressing the elastomer and making the base flush to the
   concrete. Ensure that the anchor head is firmly tightened flush to
   the base.
6. Insert the tube into the adapter and firmly tighten all
   set-screws to hold it in place.
7. If using a plastic cap, place it in the top of the pipe and
   gently pound it in place using a mallet.
8. Once completed, the assembly should resemble Figure 2. Note
   that models may vary.

   Note: Do not fill the bollard with concrete. The system is
   designed for the pipe to be the first point of bending.

Notes 1. Assembly and installation should be performed by qualified personnel only. 2. Installation to be performed in unbroken concrete only. Anchor holes should be the same distance as the
anchor length from any edge. Minimum 3000 PSI, 6″ thick is recommended. 3. Bollards must be properly sized for expected loads and speeds.
Consult www.SlowStop.com/resources/installation/. 4. Study Figure 1 to understand the arrangement of all parts. 5. Pipe and anchors used must be as specified by SlowStop.

Installation and Assembly 1. Layout and mark final location using the base as a guide. Remove base.
Note: Keep the bollard 0.32 x height away from any solid object to allow for tilting. 2. Place the elastomer in the center of the location and place adapter on top of elastomer. When applicable,
turn the adapter so that the set screws are facing the direcon of impact. 3. Fit base over the adapter so that it rests on the adapter flange and covers the elastomer. 4. Again using the base as a guide, drill four, six, or eight (as required) holes deep enough to completely sink
the anchors. Clean out the holes from concrete dust. 5. Tighten the concrete screw Anchors in a star pattern, compressing the elastomer and making the base
flush to the concrete. Anchor head must be tightened firmly flush to base. 6. Insert the tube into the adapter and firmly tighten all set-screws to hold it in place. 7. If using a plastic cap, place the cap in the top of the pipe and gently pound it in place using a mallet. 8. When complete, the assembly should appear like Figure 2. (Models may vary.)

Note: Do not concrete fill the bollard. The system is designed for the pipe to be the first point of bending.
