Limitations and Warnings
Pursuant to MASH “Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance of Highway Safety
Features”, Valtir contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to perform and evaluate crash
tests to prepare a crash test results report. Valtir is then able to submit a Request for Federal Aid
Reimbursement of Safety Hardware Devices to the FHWA for review.
The QuadGuard ® M10 has been deemed eligible by FHWA as meeting the 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
®
M10 is certified to the
Test Level(s) as shown below:
Test Level 3: 62 mph [100 kph]
Test Level 2: 44 mph [70 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.
Valtir 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 Valtir or by third parties.
The QuadGuard ® M10 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 ® M10 until you
have read this manual thoroughly and completely understand it.
Warning:
Ensure that all Danger, Warning, Caution, and Important statements
within this manual are completely followed. Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
