Guardrail Clamping System
Installation Procedures for
Guardrail Applications
ASSEMBLE CLAMP AND POST
If necessary, mount the Safety Boot
®
to the clamp base
using supplied fender washers and fastening nuts. Cut 2
- 2X4 studs using construction grade (stress grade)
lumber to 42 inch lengths and fasten together using 2-
inch long deck screws or framing nails to create a double
2X4 post. Insert the post into the center core of the
Safety Boot and secure with a  X 2- inch lag screw and
washer through the provided hole in the side wall (See
Figure 1).
STEP TWO
PLACEMENT OF POSTS
Measure the distance between the post/clamps. Federal
OSHA recommends that the maximum distance between
posts should not exceed 8 feet on centers using construc-
tion grade (stress grade) lumber for guardrail systems.
Loosen the central tension bolt, disengage the locking
mechanism and slide up the stanchion. Flip the ring back
and under the locking mechanism to hold it in place
(See Figure 2).
While holding the stanchion firmly, grab the SurShield
from the back where it says “LIFT HERE” and raise
the main body to extend the bottom jaw section until
fully open.
