2 PREPARING THE MOUNTING PAD
Vehicle Impact Protection
Important: When installing bollards or other barriers, be sure to verify the stay out zones identified in
the mounting specifications on page 14.
It is recommended to protect the Boost Charger against vehicle impact damage when located in the path
of a vehicle or in a parking lot. Check with local and state codes or the International Fire Code® (IFC®) to see
if the installation of the Boost Charger will require bollards. If bollards are not required, it is recommended
that the Boost Charger be protected from impact from vehicles by means of curbs, fences, railings or
similar barriers. Where bollards are used, they shall be no less than 5 feet long with 2 feet below ground and
encased in concrete. Posts shall be no less than 4 inches in diameter and be filled with concrete if the wall
thickness is less than that of standard pipe. Posts shall be 4 feet apart on centers (maximum) and placed
outside all clearance areas. Other materials may be used and shall provide equivalent protection. Such curbs
or fences shall be arranged so they will not hamper free ventilation around the Boost Charger or interfere
with the ADA accessibility and service of the charger in the mounting specification.
