Limitations and Warnings
Trinity Highway contracts with independent crash testing facilities to test and prepare a crash test
report for FHWA review.
The QuadGuard
®
M Wide has been deemed eligible for reimbursement by the FHWA per
AASHTO requirements and guidelines of MASH. These tests evaluate product performance
defined by AASHTO involving lightweight cars (approx. 2420 lb. [1100 kg]) and full size pickup
trucks (approx. 5000 lb. [2270 kg]). A product can be certified for multiple Test Levels. The
QuadGuard
®
M Wide is certified to the Test Level(s) as shown below:
Test Level 3:
62 mph [100 kph]
These AASHTO directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems
when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway.
This system is tested only to the test matrix criteria of MASH as approved by FHWA.
Trinity Highway expressly disclaims any warranty or liability for injury or damage to persons or
property resulting from any impact, collision or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or
nearby
hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were
assembled in consultation with Trinity Highway or by third parties.
The QuadGuard ® M Wide is intended to be assembled, delineated, and maintained within specific
state and federal guidelines. It is important for the highway authority specifying the use of a
highway product to select the most appropriate product configuration for site specifications. The
customer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Careful
evaluation of site layout, traffic speed/type, direction, and visibility are some of the elements that
require evaluation by the highway authority 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 specified highway product should be evaluated and restored to its original specified
condition or replaced as the highway authority determines as soon as possible.
Warning:
Do not assemble, maintain, or repair the QuadGuard ® M Wide until you
have read this manual thoroughly and completely understand it. Please contact
Trinity Highway if you do not understand these instructions (p. 3).
Warning:
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all Danger, Warning,
Caution, and Important statements within the QuadGuard ® M Wide manual are
completely followed. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a collision.
