Retractable Bollard Installation
Inspect the installation.
Abrasions should be covered
as soon as possible. For damage repair or other
servicing needs, please refer to

STEP 6:
Back fill the drilled hole with drain rock so that when
the bollard assembly is placed in the site, the top edge of the
receiver will sit at approximately 1/4" above grade.
Install the Bollard Assembly
STEP 7:
Keep the bollard assembly in its protective packaging.
When ready to install, remove the protective packaging.
STEP 8:
Place the bollard assembly in the center of the
installation hole. Ensure that the top edge of the receiver sits
at approximately 1/4" above grade. This will allow a slight
berm to be created with concrete.
STEP 9:
Extend or raise the bollard from the bollard assembly
to its upright position. Hold a level against it and ensure that
the bollard is plumb.
STEP 10:
Back fill around the receiver up to approximately
18" with the frost line in mind. Fill from the bottom tamp to
ensure the bollard is stable and still plumb.
STEP 11:
Turn the key to collapse the bollard back into the
bollard assembly, ensuring not to disrupt the assembly’s
position.
Note: For the R-8471/R-8471-RA models, the key
is used only used for collapsing the bollard into the bollard
assembly. For the R-8472/R-8472-RA models, the key is used
for both extending and collapsing the bollard from the bollard
assembly.
Pour the Concrete
STEP 12:
Mix the concrete. Check that the proper ratio of
water and concrete mix is used—the concrete should have a
similar texture to moldable clay.
STEP 13:
Pour the concrete evenly into the site. The concrete
should be slightly raised towards the top edge of the receiver
to create a slight berm. Avoid disrupting the bollard assembly.
STEP 14:
Allow the concrete to cure for a minimum of
2–3 days.
Note: Moisture in the environment and cool
temperatures can significantly slow the process.
