Warning:
Use only Trinity Highway International parts on the QuadGuard
®
CEN system for assembly, maintenance, or repair.
The assembly or
comingling of unauthorized parts is strictly PROHIBITED.
The QuadGuard
®
CEN and its component parts have been accepted for state use by the Highway
Authority. However, a comingled system has not been accepted within the
applicable criteria.
Important:
Trinity Highway International makes no recommendation whether
use or reuse of any part of the system is appropriate or acceptable following an
impact. It is the sole responsibility of the local highway authority and its engineers
to make that determination. It is critical that you inspect this product after
assembly is complete to make certain that the instructions provided in this
Manual have been strictly followed.
Warning:
Ensure that your assembly meets all appropriate local specifications
and standards. If you have any questions during the assembly of a QuadGuard
®
CEN at a particular assembly site, contact the specifying highway authority
immediately.
Warning:
Ensure that there is proper site grading for QuadGuard
®
CEN
placement as dictated by the specifying agency.
Limitations and Warnings
The QuadGuard
®
CEN was tested to meet the requirements and guidelines of
the 110km/h,
100km/h, 80km/h and 50km/h performance classes using the CEN criteria described in
European Standard EN 1317-3 (Crash Cushions).
The required tests are not intended to represent the performance of products when impacted by
every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway. The tests are performed to
measure impacts involving vehicles specified by EN 1317-3, under those specific impact
conditions.
Trinity Highway International neither represents nor warrants that the impact results of these
EN 1317-3 established test criteria prevent or reduce the severity of any injury to person(s) or
damage to property. These tests only demonstrate the occurrence of certain results following an
impact within EN 1317-3 criteria. Every departure from the roadway is a unique event.
The QuadGuard
®
CEN was designed to be assembled at a specific deployment site, delineated,
and maintained in accordance with local guidelines. Trinity Highway International offers a
reflective delineator panel for its QuadGuard
®
CEN line of products.
The QuadGuard
®
CEN is intended to be assembled, delineated, and maintained within specific
local guidelines. It is important for the highway authority specifying the use of a highway product
to select the most appropriate product configuration for its site specifications. Careful evaluation
of the site lay out, vehicle population type; speed, traffic direction, and visibility are some of the
elements that require evaluation in the selection of a highway product. For example, curbs could
cause an untested effect on an impacting vehicle.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact should be removed from the area
immediately and the QuadGuard
®
CEN should be evaluated and either restored to its original
specified condition or replaced as the highway authority determines as soon as possible.
