Product Information

The product is a bollard system designed to slow down impact forces and protect buildings, equipment, and personnel from damage. The system includes a base, elastomer, adapter with set-screws, tube, cap, and anchor screws. The system is designed to be assembled and installed by qualified personnel only. The installation should be performed in unbroken concrete only. The bollards must be properly sized for expected loads and speeds.

Materials

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

Tools Required

• Hammer Drill
• Drill Bit sized for Anchor
• Impact Wrench
• Impact Socket
• Vacuum or Compressed Air with Nozzle
• 6mm / 8mm Allen Wrench
• Mallet

Note:

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.

Product Usage Instructions

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 direction 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. Insert the tube into the adapter and firmly tighten all set-screws to hold it in place.
6. If using a plastic cap, place the cap in the top of the pipe and gently pound it in place using a mallet.
7. 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.
