The following instructions are exclusively intended for competent / qualified persons with suitable
training, specialist knowledge and practical experience sufficient to correctly and safely fit, test, and
carry out maintenance on a bollard system.
In order to ensure the correct function and a constant safety level, perform the following inspections and test on the
bollard system, safety devices and connected accessories every six months.

the magnetic contact and
magnet. (A006)
Operation
Procedure
Check visually the conditions of the pit and, if necessary, clean it by means of
a professional vacuum cleaner for liquids and solids. Remove all the impurities
deposited (usually sand, dirt, gravel and similar).
In the 4 corners at the bottom of the pit there are 4 holes for rainwater outflow
in the ground below. By the time these holes may be partially or completely
clogged, as a consequence the drainage may be restricted or blocked. In order
to keep an adeguate drainage, use a drill machine of suitable length (approx.
15mm) and drill in the 4 holes, driving the tip into the gravel below for about 10cm.
In this way any deposit that obstructs the outflow will be removed.
Check visually the status of bollard and, if necessary, clean the entire system
by means of a pressure washer (with hot water if possible). Clean the bollard
when it is in down position. Rise the bollard and clean the central inner part.
It is recommended (where possible) to clean the sliding area between the
moving cylinder (moving part) and the frame (fixed part).
Check visually the aesthetic of the moving cylinder and, if necessary, refresh the
cylinder's painting.
When the bollard is dry and the moving cylinder is in high position perform
the lubrication of the central sliding guide (external part of the piston on which
the moving cylinder slides) and, as far as possible, of the piston rod.
The use of OIL WITH TEFLON is recommended, because of its quality of long-
lasting permanence.
When the cylinder is in down position, it leans against 3 lower support bases.
The bases are made of alluminium and the upper part of vulcanized hard rubber;
check the hard rubbers integrity (they may wear out due to the passage of
vehicles) and replace them if they are worn.
Lower the bollard to down position then check that the magnetic contact, placed
in the lower part of the frame, and the magnet, placed on the moving cylinder, are
properly alligned.
