the first section.
The wood will ELEVATE the slotted
end.

facing you.

section.
Prior to assembly or
installation, sweep areas
clear of gravel and other
debris that may cause strips
to move.
The only tool you will need
for assembly is a 4x4 piece
of wood, or an object of
similar size.
RoadQuake 2 is a temporary device; no glue, adhesives or other fasteners are required

These sections have not been assembled correctly. Please
repeat the assembly steps. But first, watch the video!
Properly assembled sections should be smooth and
flat, as shown in the picture above.
The channel under the tabs, shown in Picture 1... …must engage the rod on the slotted end, shown in Picture 2.
The Goal of Assembly is to Properly Engage Tabs with Slots:
RoadQuake 2 is ready-to-assemble. No hardware is
required.
In the picture to the left, the section on the left is the
“tabbed” section; the section on the right is the “slotted”
section.
Note that both long edges are beveled, so that either edge
can face traffic.

Kicking Style
Picture 4 shows a sideways, soccer-
style kick, using the instep of the
foot. Straight-on, football-style is
also acceptable. Simply straddle the
section on the ground, insert and
engage the section in hand, and kick
straight-on, in football-style. Then
proceed to Steps 5, 6 and 7.
