Quick Set Base
Set Up Instructions
Prior to installation/set-up of the Universal Guardrail System, a competent person must develop a
system layout plan.
1. Evaluate the surface to confirm that the guardrail system will not be installed on top of gravel or
slippery surfaces.
2. Measure the work surface area to be protected and space the Quick SET base plate accordingly
(10 ft. centers for long runs, 7-1/2’ and or 5 ft. centers where required).
3. All Quick Set Base plates must be located a minimum distance of 18 in. from a “no curb”/parapet
leading edge, or opening. If the work location has a curb or parapet edge, the Quick Set Base can be
placed perpendicular against the rise of the structure.
4. Always be aware of all electrical hazards (ELECTRICITY KILLS). A minimum safe distance of 10 ft. away
from power lines and other electrical hazards must be maintained at all times.
5. Quick Set base plates must be oriented correctly with the guardrails installed perpendicular. Toe boards
are installed parallel to the guardrails. Safety clips pins must be inserted through all Quick Set base
plates and guardrails.
6. The guardrail layout must be installed in a continuous run, and must completely block all applicable
leading edges of potential fall hazards. Do not attempt to relocate a fully assembled system.
