installation. However, for a permanent and secure installation a concrete footing

support for the bollard base is recommended.

bollard wire. Using the two (2) silicone filled safety connectors (provided), connect the leads
from the bollard to the main supply cable leads. Any excess pigtail wire should be coiled
inside base as to allow bollard to be lifted from base if ever necessary.
NOTE: Luminaires are supplied with 36" of 18-2 cable pigtail for secure connection to the main

supply cable. The wire is to be protected by routing in close proximity to the luminaire.
The wiring shall be buried a maximum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect the main supply cable.

5. Slip bollard over base and attach with set screws on bollard using 1/8" allen head wrench.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POUR CONCRETE INSTALLATION

2. Dig a hole approximately 12" diameter by 6" deep at selected location.

3. Install conduit sweep and foundation anchors to base.

4. Using standard masonry procedures, support bollard base in selected location making sure
foundation anchor nuts remain above concrete grade.

5. Pour concrete making sure exited end of the sleeve reaches outside concrete.

6. Once concrete cures, run wire pigtail through bottom sleeve and strip the two (2) leads
from bollard wire. Using the two (2) silicone filled safety connectors (provided), connect
leads from bollard pigtail to main supply cable leads. Any excess pigtail wire should be coiled
inside base as to allow bollard to be lifted from base if ever necessary.
