ASSEMBLING THE BOLLARD SYSTEM
Refer to the appropriate diagram below when installing your bollard gate system. Each bollard
system is intended to provide a visual barrier/warning line that establishes the boundaries of a
designated area. Neither system is designed to be used as an OSHA “General Industry” guardrail
system.

INSTALLING THE BOLLARD SYSTEM
To assemble the gate system:
NOTE: Numbers in parentheses correspond to item numbers in the EXPLODED VIEW on p. 2.
1. Attach both mounting brackets (3) to one of the bollards using self-tapping screws (4); then fasten
both fixed end mounting brackets (6) to the other bollard with self-tapping screws (4).
2. Attach a quick link (5) to each end of both chains.
3. Attach the quick link at one end of both chains to the fixed end mounting brackets (6); fasten the
opposite ends of the chains to the gate chain bar (2).
[NOTE: Attach the quick links to the gate chain bar so that the bracket pins point downwards.]
4. Slide the gate pins into the pin holes of the mounting brackets (3).
5. Place the bollards in the desired installation locations. Notice that the base plate of each bollard
includes 4 bolt holes/slots. Mark the concrete with the location of each bolt hole.
6. Using a hammer drill and a 3/4in. masonry bit, drill a hole to a depth of 4 inches in the concrete.
7. Set each bollard in place. Align the bolt holes in the base plates with the holes in the concrete.
8. Put a flat washer and a hex nut onto the threaded end of each wedge anchor bolt (part no. AS-
344); then tap the bolts through the holes in the base plates and into the drilled holes with a
hammer. The nut should stick up above the end of the bolt so that the hammer strikes the nut rather
than the end of the bolt.
9. Tighten the nuts to expand the anchoring mechanism. The bollards should now be solidly anchored
to the surface.
USING THE BOLLARD SYSTEM
This bollard system should only be used as a visual barrier to define a warning line of a designated
area. DO NOT use the bollard system to guard walking-working surface edges that are 4ft. or more
above a lower level.
Open the gate by grasping the gate chain bar. Lift it to disengage the gate pins from the mounting
brackets.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
After installing the bollard system and before putting it into service, make a record of its
condition. Record the condition and appearance of both of the bollards, the chains, gate
chain bar and the gate pins, all 4 mounting brackets, and all fasteners (anchor bolts, anchors,
nuts, screws, etc.). Thoroughly photograph the system from multiple angles. Include close
range photographs of the bases of the bollards to show all anchoring hardware, mounting
brackets and fasteners, quick links, gate pins, and labeling. Collect all photographs and
writings in a single file. This file is a record of the system in satisfactory condition. Compare the
results of all inspections to this RECORD to determine whether the system is in satisfactory
condition. Do not use the system unless all components in satisfactory condition. Purely
cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or powdercoat, are not changes from satisfactory
condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Inspections and all necessary repairs should be performed by qualified persons.
Compare the results of each inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Do
not continue to use the visual barrier system unless every part is in satisfactory condition. If you
have any questions about the condition of your DCBB, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE
department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. Never make
temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved
replacement parts to restore the unit to satisfactory condition.
Inspect the following at least once per month. Maintain the system by replacing all items
that are not in satisfactory condition.
Bollards: Try to wiggle the bollards. to determine the soundness of the connections between
the anchor bolts and the surface. If the bollard can wobble, determine if any of the bolts are
loose and tighten them. If the concrete around the anchors is damaged and the anchor is
loose, the bollard will have to be installed in another location. Clean dirt and grime from the
surface of the bollard.
Mounting brackets: Make sure that all 4 brackets are solidly fastened to the bollards. Look for
cracks and significant rusting/corrosion.
Gate assembly (chains, quick links, gate chain bar): Check all quick links and the links of
both chains for cracks, breaks, twists, and other damage. Examine the gate chain bar for
damage. Pay particular attention to the gate pins.
LABELING DIAGRAM
Label content and location are subject to
change so your product might not be labeled
exactly as shown. Compare the diagram below
to your RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. If
there are any differences between actual
labeling and this diagram, contact TECHNICAL
SERVICE. Replace all labels that are damaged,
missing, or not easily readable (e.g. faded). To
order replacement labels or to inquire whether
your unit is properly labeled, contact the
technical service and parts department online
at http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm or
