INTRODUCTION IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INSTALLATION OF ALL TRAFFIC SPIKE SYSTEMS Traffic Spike Systems are an inherently DAMAGING product and are intended to puncture tires. There are risks and liabilities involved in the use of these products. To minimize potential INJURY or DAMAGE, it is imperative to take ALL safety measures in the installation, location and site conditions, traffic and pedestrian flow, and use and maintenance of the units. Warning signs should be installed at ALL sites where spikes are installed. DO NOT allow pedestrian traffic in the area of the barriers. A separate pathway for pedestrian traffic MUST be provided. Illumination of the units is necessary if the site conditions require visibility at night. These instructions are provided in order for you to receive the maximum performance from your traffic control system. Failure to strictly follow these installation instructions will result in broken or bent teeth, broken springs, correct direction tire damage, inability to puncture tires of wrong-way traffic, and a multitude of other malfunctions. LiftMaster will not be responsible for property, vehicles, tires, or personal damage resulting from improper installation or use. LiftMaster will not be responsible for repairing malfunctions or replacing parts resulting from improper installation or use. Replacement parts needed in order to repair damage or malfunction caused by improper installation or abuse are not covered under your warranty. SIGNAGE • Warning signs are strongly recommended to warn drivers of the inherent danger of the device, including a notice for pedestrian traffic to stay clear of the area (Warning Sign Model 14115 [lighted] or 14150 [reflective]). • Use caution when installing near high pedestrian traffic areas. If there will be traffic after dark be sure to provide adequate lighting in the area and use the Lighted Warning Sign. Be sure your customer is aware of these inherent dangers. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS • The traffic system must be installed on a solid surface asphalt or concrete. Traffic spikes systems should not be installed in dirt, on any curve, inclines or where the road surface is uneven or where the road surface is in poor condition. Also, do not install in areas where there is significant water runoff that could potentially cause damage to the components of the units. • The surface should be clean, dry, level and as smooth as possible. • If you are installing a heater element in your system, you will need to plan for the location of the thermo device and power. See instructions with your heater cable. • Make sure the installation staff has a safety vest and is wearing safety glasses.
