3 MAINTENANCE
Do not attempt repairs unless you are trained and qualified.
This vehicle barrier can cause equipment damage and severe
injury if it is operated or maintained improperly.
3.1 Introduction
The B3X Bollards are designed to be largely maintenance free. As with any complex
electromechanical device, they must be regularly inspected to ensure they are operating
correctly. A monthly visual inspection and a more thorough biannual inspection as
described below are recommended. Please contact B&B ARMR Technical Service
Support for assistance with inspections, maintenance, or repairs if needed.
Component damage is likely if a vehicle strikes the barrier. If this occurs, contact B&B
ARMR. We can help you assess the damage to make sure there is no hidden damage that
will compromise safety or effectiveness and help you determine which components
should be replaced.
3.2 Spare Parts
There are few failure and wear items in the B3X design. The following table shows
