INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
BOOMERANG™ SURFACE-MOUNT DELINEATORS
TD5200 SERIES
To assemble post and base:
1. Mount post over riser on base and insert two (2) hex bolts (¼”-20 x 2-½“) through the
post. Attach a Nyloc nut to each bolt and tighten to secure the post to the base.
Please note the following prior to installation:
1. Posts that are to be mounted on the ground with adhesives require a clean surface prior
to installation. Make sure all dirt, dust (even fine dust), rocks, and/or gravel have been
cleared from the surface. For best results after sweeping, use compressed air to blow
any fine particles from the surface. If surface is wet, it is always recommended to torch
surface to remove moisture. The bottom of the base should also be clean of any dust
prior to installation.
2. When dealing with any sort of epoxy or bitumen, use gloves at all times during mixing
and installation. When using epoxy, Types A and B are to be mixed 50/50 prior to
installation. Bases manufactured by Three D Traffic Works, Inc. do not require flame
treating.
3. Units are to be spaced evenly according to specifications required by the instructions or
manuals for each individual user, contractor, city, state or federal agency.
To install unit (assembled):
1. Using epoxy: Submerse bottom of base into pre-mixed epoxy. Do not fill inside cavity of
base with epoxy; only apply material to bottom ribs. Turn once left, turn once right to
allow epoxy to ooze into holes in base, and then remove from mixture. Mount unit to
prepped surface.
2. Using bitumen: Kettle temperature for Bitumen varies and should be mixed according to
the manufacturer’s recommendation to assure the Bitumen "stands up" when poured.
This will allow the Bitumen to penetrate the holes on the TD5200 Base. Place bitumen
on cleaned surface and mount unit onto the bitumen. Make slight turn once left then
back right to remove air bubbles and allow bitumen to ooze into holes in base. Do not
fill inside cavity of base with bitumen. Be sure to align base with arrows facing traffic.
3. Using Peel-n-Stick (butyl) pads: Remove tape from one side of pad, place on the road
surface and apply pressure on top of pad. Remove tape on top side once pad has
been adhered to surface before mounting unit on the ground. Align base with arrows
facing traffic and push onto surface by applying pressure to the base to ensure bonding.
Apply firm pressure. Too much pressure applied to base will cause the base to contact
the surface directly and lessen the bond.
