Preparation
Before installing the X-Lite System, ensure that all
materials required for the system are onsite and have
been identified.
Soil Conditions
The X-Lite has been designed to be installed in soil
that meets or exceeds the AASHTO “standard soil”
specification. If rock or stiff soil is encountered, the
posts may be installed by augering and backfilling the
hole. Extra care must be taken to prevent settlement
or lateral displacement of the post. Backfill material
shall be compacted to optimum compaction.
Before Starting
For all applications, begin the installation from the
trailing / back end of the system where it joins the
standard guardrail system at Post 7.
Required Tools
The system uses standard tools required to
install typical guardrail; the list below is a general
recommendation.
• Post driver
• Tape measure
• String line
• Hammer
• Stakes
• Pry bar
• Crescent wrench
• Vice grips or clamps
• 1-5/8” (42 mm) Wrench
• ½” Ratchet
• 1-1/4” (32 mm) Socket
• Air impact wrench (optional)
• Pick ax
• Pipe wrench or large pliers
• Torque wrench
(capable of applying 60 ft. lbs. torque)
Note:
The tools list is a general recommendation.
Depending on the specific characteristics of the job
site, more or less tools may be necessary.
The tools listed are for US/Imperial fasteners. If
metric hardware is used, use metric equivalents for
the hardware as required.
