Site Safety: Before installation, ensure work site is safe. If necessary, block
off the roadway to prevent vehicle and pedestrian access, use appropriate
signage and work barricades to delineate the work area. Ensure electric power
leads and hand tools are safe, in good working condition and only used as per
manufacturer’s specifications. Remove any potential trip hazards, and use
appropriate personal safety equipment (safety gloves, safety
glasses, safety boots, etc.).
Lag Bolt Method: Recommended for asphalt or concrete traffic lanes where drilling
holes is permitted.
Tools Required:
Trimming knife, high-speed hammer drill with 1/2” masonry bit, impact
wrench or heavy ratchet with a 9/16” socket and a hammer or mallet.
Hardware: One 3/8” x 4” lag
bolt for each hole in the speed bump and end cap, one 1/2” washer for each lag bolt,
one 1/2” lag
anchor for each lag bolt, and two joint tubes for each speed bump section.
Step 1: Clear the application area of any obstruction or debris.
Step 2: Mark the site where you want the speed bump placed. The use of a
chalk line or straight edge may be helpful.
Step 3: Insert two joint tubes into one end of each speed bump section,
approximately 12”.
Step 4: Join each section of the speed bump.
Step 5: Push all sections tightly together.
Step 6: Position the speed bump in its installation position with the end
caps.
Step 7: Make certain that the units are square and straight.
Step 8: Using the pre-drilled holes as templates, mark the location of each
hole on the roadway’s surface. Remove the speed bump & end caps. Using the
high-speed hammer drill with a 1/2” masonry bit, drill a hole
at each marked location to a minimum depth of 3” below the roadway’s surface.
Step 9: Before you re-position the speed bump over the newly drilled holes,
insert a lag bolt anchor into each hole (large anchor opening on top). Tap the
anchor into the holes with a hammer so that the anchors are set flush with the
surface.
Step 10: Reposition the speed bump and end caps into the installation
position, aligning it over the holes. Slip a washer onto a lag bolt, insert the
bolt through a pre-drilled hole in the speed bump and tighten the bolt about
three-quarters of the way with a 9/16” socket. Repeat for each hole in the speed bump & end cap. Finish
tightening each bolt until just snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
