General Description

Basic Installation
SURFACE MOUNT INSTALLATION WITH INTERNAL SHOE
(see Figure 1a)
1) Drill concrete for two 3/8" x 3" anchor bolts provided
using the mounting shoe as a template.
2) Place plastic rust shield provided over holes in the
concrete, set mounting shoe onto the rust shield.
NOTE:
If bollard switch is to be hardwired, pull
conduit through holes in the center of the rust
shield and mounting shoe. Pull electrical wires
long enough to be accessible from the top of the
bollard once mounted (approximately 42”).
3) Hammer anchor bolts into holes in concrete
shimming as necessary to level bollard. Securely
tighten anchor bolts.
4) Slide bollard over mounting shoe and secure with the
four 1/4"-20 x 1/2" bolts provided. Caulk around
