Quick Set Base
Set Up Instructions
Assembly and Mounting
1. Place all Quick Set bases around the leading edge of the fall hazard area, space the Quick Set bases at
approximate lengths of the corresponding length of guardrail (10’, 7.5’ and 5’).
2. When assembling the guardrails into the Quick Set, position the guardrails between the fall hazard and the
installers work area. Position one leg of each guardrail into the outermost Quick Set retaining tube.
Maintaining the guardrail positions between the installers body and the fall hazard edge, position the tube
into the adjacent Quick Set retaining tube.
3. Once each guardrail tube has been inserted into the Quick Set retaining tube, install the retaining pins.

Securing the Base
Quick Set base plates are only approved for concrete substrates with a minimum slab thickness of 6 inches with a
minimum concrete strength of 3,000 psi, normal weight, (cracked) concrete.
Screw should be 3.5 inches in length. 0.5 inches in diameter.
Rated for 1000 pounds of pull out force in substrate used.
1. Using the Quick Set plate as a guide: first drill a 1/2”x 4” hole using a carbide-tipped masonry bit. The quickest,
easiest way to drill into concrete is with a hammer drill. It’s also important to blow or vacuum the concrete dust
from the hole before inserting the fastener. Fasteners grip much more tightly to clean, dust-free holes.
2. Follow installation instructions supplied with the type fastener you are using.
