6/11/2012 RSH-series manual, installation instructions.doc
Failure to read and understand the instructions included in this manual before installing or maintaining the
speed hump constitutes misuse of the product. Read the manual, as necessary, to refresh your understanding of the
safe installation, inspection and maintenance procedures explained on p. 3 & 4. DO NOT attempt to resolve any problems
with the product unless you are authorized to do so and are certain that it will be safe to use afterwards.
Improper installation might result in serious personal injuries sustained by motorists and/or pedestrians.
 Immediately replace any speed hump that becomes structurally compromised. DO NOT keep a damaged speed hump
in service. Follow the inspection recommendations presented on p. 4 to determine whether a speed hump or a portion
of the product should be replaced.
 Post signs visible to and readable by motorists to warn them about the location of the speed hump and to suggest an
appropriate maximum speed when travelling over the hump (see “Maximum over-travel speed” in Table on p. 2).
 DO NOT modify the speed hump or the mounting hardware in any way. Unauthorized modifications might make the
product unsafe to use and could result in injuries suffered by drivers and/or bystanders.
Installation
Step 1: Prepare the surface (road) where the speed
hump will be installed. Thoroughly sweep the surface/road
and allow the surface to dry completely, if applicable.
Step 2: Assemble the speed hump in the location where it
will be installed. Fit the tabs of one piece into the
corresponding slots on the next piece, as shown in FIG. 3.
[NOTE: 1 end piece has tabs; the other end piece has
slots.]
Step 3: Attach the speed hump to the surface.
Asphalt: to attach the product to an asphalt surface:
1) As shown in Fig. 3, affix strips of butyl tape to the entire
perimeter of the underside of the speed hump (only 1 side of
perimeter shown in Fig. 3, but tape should be applied to all 4
sides);
2) Flip over the speed hump and then press it firmly against the
pavement;
3) Drive the spikes through the holes in each section (the head
of each spike should not protrude above the surface of the
speed hump).
