Step 1: [Refer to FIG. 2] To prevent water from collecting in the sleeve
(item no. 1; p. 3), use a 10–12in. (25-30cm) piece of 1½ in. outer diameter
PVC tube to function as a drain pipe. Insert the tube into the drain hole in
the bottom of the sleeve. The top of the tube should be approximately flush
with the top of the bottom plate of the sleeve. Affix the drain tube to the
sleeve with silicone adhesive. Allow the adhesive to dry before proceeding
to step 2.
Step 2: Dig a 20 inch x 20 inch hole (~51cm x 51cm) approximately 24
inches deep (61cm) to contain the concrete. Center the hole on the
location where you wish to install the bollard. Fill the bottom of the hole
with ~12 inches of gravel and then set the sleeve in the center of the hole.
Press the PVC drain into the gravel until the top of the sleeve is slightly
above ground level (see FIG. 3).

Step 3: Partially fill the hole with 3,000psi compression
rated concrete into the hole; stop filling when the surface
of the concrete is a few inches from the top of both the
sleeve and the hole. Check the vertical levelness of the
sleeve and adjust the position of the sleeve is
necessary; then fill the remainder of the hole with
concrete. The surface of the concrete should be
near
but
below the top of the sleeve. DO NOT get concrete inside
the sleeve. Allow the concrete to cure according to the
instructions that accompany the concrete mixture used.
Step 4: Press the rubber cap into the opening at the top
of the bollard.
Step 5: Unlock the key lock by turning the key
counterclockwise (see FIG. 4). Lower the bollard into the
sleeve. Align the slot in the base of the bollard with the
clevis pin in the sleeve (see FIGS. 5A & 5B). Press the
bollard down and rotate it clockwise to seat the pin in the
top (horizontal portion) of the slot.
Step 6: Turn the key clockwise in the key lock (near the
top of the bollard) to lock the bollard in the sleeve (see
FIG. 5).
