To protect the nish, keep bollards in original
packaging unl exact moment of installaon.
Handle with care to avoid scratching or
damaging bollard surfaces.
Once scratched, bollards cannot be repaired
to original form without re-nishing the enre
surface.
Consider local soil condions before proceeding
with bollard installaon.
Before Installaon
STEP 1: Study the site plans and mark the intended
locaon of each bollard on the plan.
STEP 2: Always check for hazards such as water pipes,
gas lines, and underground wiring before digging.
STEP 3: Dig a hole to a minimum depth of 54". The
diameter of the hole should extend to a minimum of 14".

STEP 4: Center the auger on the installaon mark and
bore a hole to the required depth and diameter.
STEP 5: Ensure the area is properly formed to create a
perimeter that will hold wet concrete. Use a dirt tamper**
to compact the soil below the intended surface.
** Dirt tamping is not required if working on undisturbed soil

Retractable Bollard Installaon
Inspect the installaon. Abrasions should be covered
as soon as possible. For damage repair or other
servicing needs, please refer to

STEP 6: Back ll the drilled hole with drain rock so that when
the bollard assembly is placed in the site, the top edge of the
receiver will sit at approximately 1/4" above grade.
Install the Bollard Assembly
STEP 7: Keep the bollard assembly in its protecve packaging.
When ready to install, remove the protecve packaging.
STEP 8: Place the bollard assembly in the center of the
installaon hole. Ensure that the top edge of the receiver sits
at approximately 1/4" above grade. This will allow a slight
berm to be created with concrete.
STEP 9: Extend or raise the bollard from the bollard assembly
to its upright posion. Hold a level against it and ensure that
the bollard is plumb.
STEP 10: Back ll around the receiver up to approximately
18" with the frost line in mind. Fill from the boom tamp to
ensure the bollard is stable and sll plumb.
STEP 11: Turn the key to collapse the bollard back into the
bollard assembly, ensuring not to disrupt the assembly’s
posion. Note: For the R-8471/R-8471-RA models, the key
is used only used for collapsing the bollard into the bollard
assembly. For the R-8472/R-8472-RA models, the key is used
for both extending and collapsing the bollard from the bollard
assembly.
Pour the Concrete
STEP 12: Mix the concrete. Check that the proper rao of
water and concrete mix is used—the concrete should have a
similar texture to moldable clay.
STEP 13: Pour the concrete evenly into the site. The concrete
should be slightly raised towards the top edge of the receiver
to create a slight berm. Avoid disrupng the bollard assembly.
STEP 14: Allow the concrete to cure for a minimum of
2–3 days. Note: Moisture in the environment and cool
temperatures can signicantly slow the process.
