Attaching the End terminals
Potential Hazards:
Injury from movements and
posture, hand injury from pinch points, strain to wrists
from tightening bolts and excessive noise from use of
impact driver.
Recommended Control Measures:
Observe correct
techniques (bend at the knees), wear gloves, use a
pinch bar to align holes, use an impact wrench to
tighten bolts and wear appropriate hearing protection.
Attach the
RiderPro
end terminal (
) to the beam
using
four
M16 x 35 mm guardrail bolts (
), standard
nuts and round washers.
The End terminal must overlap the beam so that the
splice is with the flow of traffic.
Place the end post bracket (
) at the last/first
guardrail post and fix it by means of
two
M16x110 mm
Hex Head Blots (
), standard nuts and round washers,
but do not fully tighten them for the moment.
Align the 18 mm wide slots of the end post bracket with
the 18 x 50 mm centered slots of the
RiderPro
beam
and attach them with
two
M16 x 35 mm guardrail bolts
(
) standard nuts and round washers.

attention to adjust the ground clearance of the beam
(see § 9.7).
9.7
Adjusting the ground clearance
Prior to tightening the bolts that connect the
RiderPro
beams to the brackets, it is recommended to adjust
the height of the bottom of the beams from the
ground, according to the installation clearance (
30
mm) in Figure 6. At this point it may be necessary to
loosen the M10x25 bolt used to RiderPro mounting
bracket to the Sentry Post to achieve the appropriate
installation clearance. Should that be necessary it is
require to reapply the recommended 40 to 80 inch-
pounds (4.5 to 9.0 Nm) of torque.
