Important Introductory Notes 

The performance of the QuadGuard

®

 Elite M10 as designed, and approved for reimbursement by 

the FHWA pursuant to its MASH standard, is dependent upon the proper assembly, deployment 
and future maintenance of the system.  These instructions should be read in their entirety and 
understood before assembling the QuadGuard

®

 Elite M10. These instructions are to be used in 

conjunction with the assembly of QuadGuard

®

 Elite M10 system and are for standard assemblies 

only as specified by the applicable highway authority. If you need additional information, or have 
questions about the QuadGuard

®

 Elite M10, please contact the highway authority that has 

planned and specified this assembly and, if needed, contact Trinity Highway Customer Service. 
This product must be assembled in the location specified by the appropriate highway authority.  If

provided to that user who has unique knowledge of how this system is to be assembled. No
